Georgetown Cupcakes!







I waited forever to go to Georgetown cupcakes! I LOVE the show on TLC and couldn't wait to go there. We lucked out and did not have to stand in line very long (which is expected when you visit the small shop) What I liked about the store was they had the largest variety that I have yet seen. The inside, when not super crowded, is nice. I love that you can look at the cupcakes being decorated through a see through wall. Granted I did not see the Stars of the show that day. But I did come out upset at the experience. First off I ordered 19 cupcakes (not all for me but people placed orders!) and was jipped 1. I did not notice this until I got home because they seal the boxes. I should have checked but we had some walking to do and the metro to ride so we didn't want to open the big pink boxes  and mess up the goods. ( I walked around like a crazy person! If anyone got to close I would say "watch it! have you never seen a crazy lady with a ton of cupcakes before!) The second thing that upset me was the fact that my breast cancer cupcakes was violated in front of me. I was watching the guys pluck a fondant flower off a cupcake and slap on a cancer symbol on. Did he wash his hands? I don't know! It kinda grossed me out to be honest. Now to the part you really care about. Cupcakes are $3.00 a piece ( the cheapest of the day!)/ $15 a half dozen, and $29 a dozen! Here were the favorites : Key-lime, orange blossom, pumpkin spice, and one of the cupcakes had a fudge icing to it (we decided it was the vanilla and chocolate with  the callebaut). The testers liked the cake frequently but not the icing. There was a lot of cream cheese icing but they were very Cheesy. Out of the 3 locations it ranked 2nd in our adventure. I would give it a 3 out of 5 on cake tasting. 3 out of 5 on customer service, and 2 out of 5 on icing! It's worth the trip and experience but maybe just once. It's hyped up a lot, due to the show, but I was kinda disappointed myself. Will I go back- well, I already have plans to go back at Christmas to try all the fun holiday flavors!
