I am pretty sure heaven is found in a paper liner with sprinkles on top

I love when people visit me in D.C. I love showing off my favorite parts of the city! Cindy, a good friend from high school, was in town this weekend for a wedding so we were able to get together on Friday. She is pretty into politics and I am, um, NOT so I was a little afraid that we would have to do politic-y things but instead I suggested shopping in Georgetown and she was up for it, so whew!

We had a lunch at La Madeline. Which is actually pretty funny. Ten years ago, I came to D.C. on a senior trip of sorts with Cindy and some other high school friends, Brandon, Brad, and another Rebecca. Yeah, I know most kids go somewhere beach-y for their senior trips but we are just that nerdy that we decided on D.C. It was a blast and one place that we ate was La Madeline. While I was there then, I filled out some sort of customer survey. As a result, every year around my birthday since then, I have a received a coupon for free bread from the restaurant. I laugh about that every time I eat there.

Then we headed off to shop with the requisite stop at Anthropologie.

And then it was off to someplace new! Georgetown Cupcake. It is rather odd that given how much I shop in Georgetown and how much I love cupcakes that I have never been. But a coworker mentioned the place to me last week so I added it to my must-do list.

Georgetown Cupcake is tucked into a cute building near the corner of Potomac and M Street.



There was line out the door, ready and willing to pay for the cupcakey deliciousness.


I would say that the line was due to the popularity of the place but the building is very small and no more than 3 or 4 customers can be in there at a time.

The cupcakes looked soooo pretty!!!!


I settled on a coconut cupcake. I love coconut. Cindy also ordered the coconut one and a chocolate lava cupcake.

We set off to have a cupcake picnic!

The Georgetown Cupcake packaging was not nearly as cute as that of Seattle Trophy Cupcakes.


And the package did not include the paper cupcake holder that keeps the mini cake standing. My cupcake withstood the commute;



Cindy's, notsomuch.

The cupcake was DELICIOUS. The frosting was not super rich and the cake portion had a banana essence. YUM!!!!

I had some the Chocolate Lava cupcake as well (thanks, Cindy!). And I am not a very big fan of chocolate cake, but this was really good!!!!

I will DEFINITELY be adding Georgetown Cupcake to my list of Georgetown faves!!!
