Hello Cupcake!

So I hit Hello Cupcake in Dupont last week. I had a Peppermint Penny. It tasted like mint chocolate chip icecream cake (without the cold part). Enjoyable, but I really don't see this as an everyday treat. Which is weird because apparently others do - a new cupcake bakery seems to hit DC almost every month - Le Cupcake, Georgetown Cupcake, Hello Cupcake, Baked & Wired, etc. But, at $3.50 a cupcake, I'd have to give up my coffee vice for my new cupcake vice. We all know that's not happening!

Cakelove is still the mack daddy cupcakerie in my mind. Not only are the flavors the best, but the homemade aesthetic really gets me. Warren has a new book out called Cake Love: How to Bake Cakes from Scratch so you can make your own love at home.

There's a new one opened in Old Town Alexandria too - Lavender Moon Cupcakery.

It's wedged between an AWESOME wine and coffee shop - Grape and Bean (www.grapeandbean.com) and boutique Treat (www.shoptreat.com) making the 100 block of South Royal Street a lovely little stop on the way home : )
