Sweet Surrender

Really, is there anything better than a cupcake?

Frankly, no. So it was with a heavy heart that I lived my first three years here in Boston in the bakery-deprived Back Bay. 

But Sweet has come to our collective rescues. The shop, located at 49 Mass. Ave, deals exclusively in all things pink, sweet, and delicious (Marie Antoinette was playing on the monitor the last time I was there, if that helps give you an idea).

The light blush-colored seating, white and pink walls, jars full of candy and, of course, cupcakes, make for a decor that's ... well, sweet.

I strongly recommend the Boston Cream Pie cupcake. And then a trip to the dentist.
