cupcake tour: georgetown cupcake soho

And the cupcake tour is back! Well, not really but I just had some of the best cupcakes of my life and I had to share it with you guys.

Yesterday I hit Soho with my friend Clarissa for a little shopping and catching up. Though I wanted to stop by Baked by Melissa for their fabulous mini cupcakes, Clarissa wouldn't stop raving about Georgetown Cupcake.

I'd heard of them via their TLC show, DC Cupcakes, but didn't know they had opened a New York location. Tucked in Soho on Mercer Street, just off Spring, these cupcakes are definitely a must-try.

We picked up a few cupcakes (I went for Red Velvet, Caramel Apple and Salted Caramel) but decided to take them to go to avoid the impending late afternoon rain.

By the time I got home, this New York heat had partially melted the beautiful icing on my cupcakes so I apologize for the lack of actual cupcake photos. I promise, they are as beautiful as the box they came in though. And based on how good the cupcakes were, I'll definitely be back so I'll share pictures next time.

They were all to-die-for but the Caramel Apple was simply divine! I highly recommend it.

Have you tried Georgetown Cupcake? Do you have any favorite flavors I should try?

cupcake tour {week four} sweet revenge

As if I'm not already a sucker for clever names, I knew I had to make a trip to Sweet Revenge when I found out that they not only make amazing cupcakes but that they also have wine and beer pairings for each of their treats! Yes, seriously. This exists.

 

Seeing as it was only 1 in the afternoon, I decided to forgo the drinks on this first visit. Rest assured though, I'll be back for a glass of wine with my next cupcake.

Each day, Sweet Revenge features the classics along with a few of their artisan flavors. Just my luck, today's artisan flavor was a Fleur de Sel so of course I went for it.

I love the rustic parchment wrappers and the fact that they serve you your cupcake with a fork. They just know you're gonna need it.
The cupcake itself was decadent, moist and oh-so-good.
