Boston Cream Cupcakes

There’s just something so nostalgic and comforting about a Boston cream pie. It always reminds me of family gatherings growing up in Massachusetts – that luscious vanilla cake filled with velvety pastry cream and topped with a rich chocolate glaze. My mom made the best Boston cream pie from scratch every year for my dad’s birthday. The whole house would be filled with the most incredible aroma as she carefully tended to the pastry cream on the stovetop.
