Sugar Bakery

It's worth the trek to this West Roxbury haunt just to see the cases filled with candy-colored treats. "Cupcake Lady" Debbie Flanagan makes over 36 flavors, including cotton candy, Fluffernutter, Peppermint Patty, and pistachio. And don't forget the special Elvis cupcake (peanut butter and banana, of course) for the King's birthday.

Price: $2.35

Our take: The strawberry milkshake cupcake made us all nostalgic for Nestle Quik milk — and we love the non-edible straw poking out of the frosting.
