Treat Cupcake Bar — Attraction in Needham

So today I went into the cupcake bar in Needham. Addie is great and her staff is equally as nice but frozen cupcakes are not nor will it ever be okay. Due to the state of where things are at I certainly understand not letting people into the whole store. I realized that the young lady serving me was taking a bit longer to come back with a peanut butter overload cupcake and when I looked fully into the,store my cupcake was being taken out of a microwave. So I asked was the cupcake fresh and was informed that it was made yesterday but frozen to keep the fresh taste. Today was allergy free cupcake day. Well the cupcake was slightly warm on the outside but stone cold in the middle. The frosting was frozen solid and was not edible. The young lady mentioned to give it a few mins and it will be ready to eat. Well I drove to Randolph which is about 20 mins away and the frosting was still not edible. Very much disappointed. If they want to sell day old cupcakes then the least that they can do is sell them for less than $5 dollars. I will drive the distance and go to Georgetown...

We had our 4 and 5 year old daughters' birthday party here today. They wanted a party where they could make something, so despite living all the way in Quincy, we decided to have it here. Our friends came from Methuen, Westford, and Wakefield and it seemed a pretty good location. Once Natalie started the party, we realized we made a great choice! The kids started by decorating cupcake boxes, then they rolled and shaped fondant. After that we had some pizza, followed by frozen yogurt sundaes. Our daughters and their friends (ages 2-13) loved it! Not only was it well run, organized, and very reasonably priced, the cupcakes and frosting were fabulous! Even the adults loved it. We love that they offer gluten free options for our friends who have dietary restrictions. We found out about some fun classes they offer and hope to return for them soon. Our kids haven't stopped talking about it. We only wish we took a few business cards to share with...

Generally, I don't like cupcakes... They're typically dry, frosting is overly sweet, and the generic cake batter gives it that 1990's 5th birthday party taste. While nostalgic, it's not my cup of tea. However, taking a bite of a "Treat" cupcake is something different. I'll use my least favorite word and say; the cupcakes are "moist", flavorful, and the toppings are not your Shaw's brand frosting. It often reminds of my grandmothers hand churned whipped cream that was smooth and rich. The variety of options gives anyone a chance to find their favorite flavor and while this doesn't affect me, the choices for those with allergies is quite vast as well. I'll happily pay $6 a cupcake at this establishment any day of the week. I suggest...
