...really warm welcome from the Boston community and a really good business level,” she said. Cross—the original occupant of the space that the new cupcake shop will fill—has decided to focus its enterprise on its mall locations. “[Cross] never really worked in that location,” said Jillson. Andre N. Davies ’11, a self-proclaimed cupcake connoisseur, has already scoped out Sweet’s competition.
