...last week Hello, Cupcake, a bakery in D.C., turned 1 and gave away free cupcakes to celebrate the occasion. Naturally, Reese and I went...I mean, we hardly EVER turn down a cupcake, especially when they are free! We went downtown with Ashley, Jack and Myla and when we pulled up to the bakery, the line was already around the block! Not deterred by the apparent wait, Reese and I got out of the car to wait in line while Ashley parked the car. The line actually moved very fast and within about 20 minutes, we were inside.
The rules were these: one cupcake per person, no cupcakes for sale, and when they ran out, the party was over. Since there were four of us, we chose four different cupcakes to sample:Root Beer Float with Cream Cheese frosting (with a straw and everything!)
Chocolate with Vanilla Buttercream
Princess (vanilla cake with strawberry buttercream)
Peanut Butter Blossom
They were all pretty delicious, but my favorite was the delicious chocolate cake with the vanilla buttercream...it happens to be my favorite cupcake combo!
Reese and I enjoying the vanilla cake with strawberry buttercream...while very moist, the cake itself didn't have much flavor to it. But the buttercream was V. sweet and tasted of yummy strawberries!
Jack loved the straw in the root beer float cupcake and tried desperately to get some root beer out of that cupcake! It tasted just like root beer, with an even stronger root beer finish. wow!
The kiddies holding hands in the car on the way home. They did this all on their own, with no encouragement from the mothers in the front seat.
