Kick Ass Cupcakes: A Tasty Food Truck Tale

Food Truck Review: Kickass Cupcakes

Kickass Cupcakes, or Kick*ss Cupcakes for the PG crowd, is a dessert themed cupcake food truck that delivers scrumptiousness on wheels.

Their main store is in Davis Square, but I prefer to buy my food from moving objects, so I stuck with the truck. You can track the Kickass Cupcake truck here.

I visited the Kick Ass Cupcakes food truck on a day of freezing, nearly-snow-rain in March. You know, just another day in Boston. The cold was quite traumatic since I had just returned from a trip to Florida the day before.

I decided nothing would cure my sorrow like a tasty treat from Kick Ass Cupcakes, whose truck pulls up Wednesdays beside the Christian Science Center near where I work.

Kick*ss is cupcakes carnival. You’ll find nothing boring or ordinary about these bakery sweets. Kickass Cupcakes prides themselves on their unique flavors and variety such as:

Mochiatto: Chocolate cupcake with caramel center and mocha frosting

Mojito: Rum cupcake with lime frosting and mint

Super Chocolate: Chocolate brownie cupcake with chocolate ganache

Peanut Butter Cupcake: Peanut butter cupcake with chocolate chips and chocolate ganache and roasted peanuts

Red Velvet: Cocoa cupcake with cream cheese frosting

Kick*ass Cup Cakes features regular choices as well as limited additions to the delicious ensemble, so you’ll never have to try the same cupcake twice (not that you’d refuse repeating one of these babies).

Kick ass Cupcake offers vegan cupcakes, gluten free cupcakes, and even cupcakes for furry companions, so no matter what your food situation, you won’t be left out. They even have deep fried cupcakes for the brave souls among us.

You can check out their menu items here, but keep in mind that this is only a small sample of their selections. Because the cupcakes are baked fresh daily, the featured special addition cupcakes constantly change with each day. You’ll always have a ton of tasty options.

Kick*ss Cupcakes: Tasting the Red Velvet

I decided to go with the Red Velvet cupcake. I rushed the precious dessert up to my office, determined to enjoy it in peace and comfort.

The cupcakes are somewhat petite, a great snack size, although a bit steep at $3 for such a small helping. Perhaps the price is fair for these freshly baked, all-natural delicacies, although I’d feel worlds better if they were just a bit cheaper.

I found the cake itself to be good, maybe a bit dry. But the frosting is what really takes the cake. The cream cheese frosting was simply superb – quite possibly some of the best I’ve had.

I’m not much of a frosting gal. In fact, I’ll often wipe it off birthday cakes, finding it sickeningly sweet. The frosting on Kick Ass Cupcakes red velvet cupcake was superb. Immediately I was drooling for more – thankfully they offer $1 frosting shots, to keep the party going.

Kickass Cupcakes gets 3 out of 5 forks

Sure, they were somewhat dry, and while a bigger size would have been nice, the huge variety of one-of-a-kind flavors and unforgettable frosting and fillings make this food truck a must for a late afternoon treat. Or breakfast. It’s all good, I’m not judging.
