Rachel at the food blog Fork It Over, Boston! has been tasting cupcakes all over the Boston area, and here’s what she thought of Cherry Bomb Bakery in Brighton Center: When I went there, they didn’t have $1s and either didn’t have or had run out of proper cupcake packaging: my three cupcakes were unceremoniously dumped together in a brown paper lunch bag, falling into each other and mingling frosting a bit.
