Cupcake Camp Boston is not a camp, as far as we can tell, so don't bring your sleeping bag or mosquito repellent, and check your hopes for lanyard-making at the door. It's not technically in Boston, either, so that's two strikes for inaccuracy right there. But Cupcake Camp Boston does offer the opportunity to sample cupcakes from some of the Boston area's most delectable bakeries free of charge, so we'll cut the event a little slack.
If you've walked down Broadway in Ball Square, maybe on your way to brunch, you've probably noticed the bakery with the crazy lavishly-decorated cakes in the window. If you haven't gone in, well, boy, you're missing out. Lyndell's Bakery wins this Bostonist's "most delicious bakery in the world" award for any year you care to mention; we don't care how much brunch you ate, there's always room for those delicious donuts and mini-cakes. And they just opened one on Hanover Street, too, so you don't have to schlep out to Somerville.
All Fluff -- and Loving It
Somerville can be proud of so much, but Archibald Query's crazy marshmallow concoction is something to celebrate. That's why we have "What the Fluff?" Fesstival. Fluffernutter may be the guest of honor this year, but you can stuff your face with all sorts of reasonably-priced treats or enjoy Fluff fun 'n games or enjoy the entertainment including Jordan Valentine & the Sunday Saints, Rex Complex, Los Sugar Kings, and The Flufferettes. Union Square Plaza, Somerville. 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Free.
Folks, let’s talk cupcakes. Previously, Stuff to Eat in the Suburbs has sung the praises of the baked goods at Susu in Wellesley. While Susu is still one of our favorite bakeries, this Bostonist has to admit that there is another superb suburb cupcake destination. Bread and Chocolate is located at 108 Madison Avenue in Newtonville right across the street from Taste coffee shop. They are a cute little shop with floor to ceiling windows that let in plenty of light, giving the place a bright and cheery atmosphere. Bread and Chocolate serves sweets galore as well as a range of coffees, regular beverages, pre-packed goodies and a smattering of lunch fare. For example, the pesto chicken salad served on a buttery croissant is a delightfully light sandwich with a perfectly subtle flavor.
Wellesley isn’t exactly what people think of when they are looking for a suburban food destination. The perception is that it’s difficult to get to by car or T, the people tend to be a little on the snobby side, it’s a dry town, and well, everything is really expensive. But this Bostonist has found a few gems that are well worth the trek out to Wellesley, and Susu bakery is one of them. Tucked away in a corner of Wellesley center, Susu is a sophisticated bakery with an elegant flare. Their delightful dining room boasts large tables with big comfortable chairs and booths, perfect for a lunch with the girls or a quiet moment to yourself. Their lunch menu is simple but covers most of the basics with soup, salad, quiche, and sandwiches. Their chicken salad is particularly fine and will have you craving more about a week after your first taste, but come early, as they do run out of it. Despite the delicious lunch fare, the real attraction here is the baked goods.
