Spotlight on Boston's BEST: Pies vs. Cupcakes

Published Feb 21 2011, 03:36 PM by Susan Kaup

This year in Boston, it’s an epic battle: the pie versus the cupcake.

On one side -- pies: Petsi Pies, Cafeteria and Greenhills Irish Bakery. On the other side -- cupcakes: Monumental Cupcakes, Kickass Cupcakes and Sweet.

When you think of pie it’s probably the classic apple. But this year’s Boston's BEST contenders also mix up the flavors with bourbon chocolate pecan and even your own custom creation.

And then there are the cupcakes – not content to be “just” cupcakes. They are monumental, kickass and sweet with flavors like blue velvet, mojito and bubblegum.

Get your vote on and choose your side for Pies vs. Cupcakes in The Phoenix’s annual BEST issue.
