CRAVE BlogHello, Cupcake!
« Read the full blog
Every now and then (okay, all the time), we get cravings for cupcakes that simply can’t be ignored. No matter how badly we want that chunky bar of fiber twigs to satisfy us, it’s just not gonna happen. Rich chocolate ganache, zesty lemon curd, luscious red velvet… these are flavors best devoured in the form of moist little cakes fresh out of the oven! If you’re like us and want to indulge in a heavenly, sugary morsel, here’s a guide of where to find the best cupcakes near you.
Hello Cupcake (hellocupcakeonline.com)
1361 Connecticut Avenue NW, Washington DC, 20036
Penny Karas’ cupcake flavors have the most adorable names- Prima Donna, Velvet Elvis, and You Tart! to highlight just a few. Their titles, however, don’t hold a candle to their gourmet taste. With fresh, simple, yet decadent ingredients like real creamery butter, Madagascar bourbon vanilla, and fresh strawberries, every bite is pure bliss. Don’t miss the cute Anatomy of a Cupcake section on Hello Cupcake’s website!
Baked and Wired (bakedandwired.com)
1052 Thomas Jefferson Street NW, Washington DC, 20007
We love Baked and Wired’s sassy take on every girl’s favorite treat. On any given day, you may have to choose between personality-packed flavors like Smurfette, Pretty Bitchin’, and the Chocolate Cupcake of Doom, each wrapped individually in parchment paper before being decked out with a generous dollop of creamy frosting. When it’s in season, try the DC Special. The Cherry Blossom features a vanilla cake with chunks of cherry and maraschino flavored buttercream.
Georgetown Cupcakes (georgetowncupcake.com)
3301 M Street, Washington DC, 20007
Even though we recently featured this delightful cupcakery in our CRAVE blog post about sisters, we couldn’t exactly leave them out! With locations in Georgetown and Bethesda and nationwide shipping, there’s really no reason not to try one of Katherine and Sophie’s delectable confections. Check out their daily cupcake schedule if you want to see when your favorite flavor will be in the shop!
