Once upon a time, a wise person observed that little girls are, in fact, made of sugar, spice and everything nice. Lucky for us, some of those little girls grew up into savvy business women who took that adage to heart right here in the DC area. Crafting delicious confections that make our mouths water (and our jeans quiver with fear), these three pairs of local sisters founded their own companies and put out some truly CRAVE-able treats.

One look at the Capital City Cheesecake website is all it takes to know you MUST try Caitlin and Meaghan Murphy’s truly divine cheesecake.

I have ordered cheesecakes from Capital City Cheesecakes twice and it has been a pleasure from ordering these delicacies to eating them (yum). The cheesecakes come in so many flavors and the presentation is as good as the taste! Order them and see for yourself! The BEST Cheesecakes in DC!

I have been very fortunate as to have tried the Cheesecakes from Capital City Cheesecakes and I must admit, they were the best I have ever had. Simply amazing!
If you are a cheesecake connoisseur than this is one you absolutely have to try.
I have been a fan and taste tester for Capital City Cheesecakes from the start, being that Caitlin (Katie as I love to call her) and Meaghan are long time friends of mine. I HATED Cheesecakes before this well thought out creation came along! I must say their Cheesecakes are the only ones that I eat and not just because they are my friends but two ladies with a gift that is now a passion for them
