If you’re traipsing through the streets of Boston with an appetite for something sweet, you’ll want to make a pit stop at Little Miss Cupcape. A sanctuary of sugary treats and whimsical décor that locals can’t help but fawn over, Little Miss Cupcape has been in the limelight ever since Taylor Stump, the owner and founder, turned her cupcake dreams into a reality with the launch of her first store in Cape Cod in 2014 and again in 2019 with a second location on Newbury Street, according to the Bakery's Website.
The cupcake shop provides a feast for both the eyes and the palate. “It’s an experience [where] you feel warm and fuzzy whenever you walk in,” Stump gushed in an interview with Boston.com. “You get greeted by highly bubbly, very kind individuals. Even if you’re in a bad mood, you can’t be in a bad mood [anymore] when you step into Little Miss Cupcape.” The readers were compelled to sing their praises ahead of the holiday season, with a nod to the shop's preservative-free, scratch-made cupcakes.
Her transition from college grad to “cupcake millionaire” was fueled by passion, energy, and a sprinkle of naiveté. “I didn’t even know how to frost a cupcake when I opened up my doors. I really went into it blindly, but with a lot of passion and energy,” Stump revealed to Boston.com. Now, her all-American bakery's "sea salt chocolate caramel" and "Ships Ahoy" chocolate chip cookie dough cupcakes are having locals line up for their sweet fix.
Their extensive selection includes brownies, whoopie pies, cinnamon rolls, and frosting shots, each item a testament to Stump's dedication to grooving to 50s and 60s tunes while whipping up delectable treats. “Absolutely incredible sweet treats, great collaboration, and creative spirit,” said MacKay L. in a statement obtained by Boston.com, describing the cupcake haven as an "all-around fun and sparkly place to be!" Over at Cape Cod, customers can even mingle over beer, wine, and specialty cocktails, garnished with the same innovation that Little Miss Cupcape offers in its baked goods.
As Taylor Stump puts it, “It’s truly just a place to not think about everything in life, and what I mean by that is, it’s a safe place. We keep it very neutral. We keep it fun. We keep it light. It’s just a place of joy and good fun, a place to feel like a kid again,” she told Boston.com.
