I’m a Washingtonian. I was born in Georgetown Hospital. I love what Georgetown Cupcakes has done. I think cupcakes bring out the child in us. The last time I had an afternoon tea party, I served all sorts of baked treats, brownies, chocolate chip cookies, lemon bars, but it was the cupcakes, that I had made for the children, that the adults and children all went for. I was trully shocked. I learned something that day.
@Chocolate Central, There is something so fun about eating cupcakes, I guess it brings out the kid in all of us. My family is in the DC area and I will definitely be swinging by Georgetown Cupcake next time I’m in the area!
