The Boston area is certainly not lacking in cupcake shops these days, but Treat Cupcake Bar, now open in Needham Center, one-ups other local shops with a design-your-own cupcake bar. Choose a cake base (including a gluten-free option), a frosting, and up to three “treats” to mix in for a cupcake that is just what you want. If you’d rather just pick up something already prepared, the cupcakes run the gamut from typical (chocolate, vanilla) to unusual (Almond Joy, Mint-O-Green). Treat also offers coffee and tea to wash down your indulgence.
