Kickass Cupcakes Are Now Available at Whole Foods

A cupcake bakery in Somerville's Davis Square is now selling its treats at a national chain of organic and natural grocery stores.

An email sent to us by CBH Communications indicates that Kickass Cupcakes has partnered with Whole Foods Markets to have their cupcakes sold in all 28 New England locations. The email mentions that 4-packs of specialty/seasonal flavors will be available right away in time for the holidays, while their fall cupcake--pumpkin spice with cinnamon frosting--will be available at stores until the end of November. Starting in December, a chocolate cupcake with pink peppermint frosting will be sold at Whole Foods. Select stores will have other Kickass treats, including those from The Fall Collection (including Caramel Apple) and The Classic Collection (including Chocolate Fudge).

Whole Foods has about 20 locations in and around Boston, including stores in Beacon Hill, Brighton, Jamaica Plain, and near Symphony Hall.

Kickass Cupcakes, which first opened in Somerville in the fall of 2007, also has a cupcake food truck that started up over the summer. The shop's website can be found at http://www.kickasscupcakes.com/
