#georgetown cupcakes
Okay so Audrey went, I didn’t, but both of us have had the cupcakes.
I drove by one day - on a weekday nonetheless - at an obscure hour, and the line was still redonkulous. Yeah, when my time in limited in D.C., I’m not going to spend 2 hours waiting for cupcakes. Sorry I’m not sorry.
Anyway, both of us agree that while the cupcakes were indeed good, they weren’t exactly what we expected. What with all the hype, the 2 hour long wait just to get 1 cupcake, it’s not exactly worth it. While they are good, there is nothing really special about them. They’re just like the cupcakes we bake at home pretty much, not too different.
If you’re in D.C. and looking for some awesomely awesome cupcakes, but don’t want to wait for forever and a day at Georgetown Cupcakes, try Sprinkles Cupcakes (they actually have locations in 10 cities throughout the USA). Sprinkles has more cupcake flavors to choose from (yeah, you can even get your puppy a cupcake there, no lie), they’re definitely more special than something I could easily make at home (I may be a skilled baker, but shit, I can’t make a chai latte cupcake. Who the hell even thought that was a possibility??). I’ve never been there myself (Audrey surprised me by bringing me 2 cupcakes to 1 of my races this year, best friend of the year award? I think so.) but seriously. Go get them. They’re amazing.

Day 2 in Boston:
Late as hell to posting this (Oh my god has it seriously been 4 months? It has.), but I still remember how full we were. Brunch was eating leftovers from the last two nights (reheated pasta & pizza: still incredibly delicious).
Then Bing introduced me to deliciously rich hot chocolateandthe best cupcakes I’ve ever had. I generally am not a huge fan of cupcakes because either the frosting is too much or the cake is too dry or both, but these were pretty damn good. Then we took a break at The Thinking Cup before we went off to Marliave for some oysters. OYSTERSSSS. :Q
