I need a latte!

I had a very exciting day recently.  I made my second trip to Georgetown Cupcake!
I trekked my way downtown, and with the help of an iphone and liking Georgetown's facebook page, you get their secret off-the-menu and FREE cupcake!  Priceless knowledge, I assure you.  I have scrolled over this info so many times and never gotten one-until now!!!  Free cupcakes always taste amazing.                                                                          


So on this particular visit, I was dying to try the May seasonal flavor of Hibiscus Mango (the orange one with the flower on it). Other people are often confused about why I enjoy floral cupcakes.  I love anything original.  This cupcake was very fruity, and you could definitely taste the flower.  I probably wouldn't eat another, but it was fun to taste such a unique treat.  I also got a lemon berry cupcake, which was decent, but I've had better.  I tasted no raspberry flavor there.  I was disappointed with the cookies'n cream, and it tasted so off and buttery I couldn't finish it.  The hazelnut was fun, and I'd like to try to make one myself. 




The chocolate sprinkled cupcake was a gift for one of the kids I work with-he watches the show "DC Cupcakes" and wanted to try one so badly that I gave him the chocolate birthday one.  His report?   The cupcake was delicious!!
After Georgetown,i went to find Baked & Wired.  We walked there, and found an interesting array of hipsters.  In need of a jolt of caffeination, I got a vanilla latte cupcake-what a great idea, right????  It was mighty delciious,  but a tad large.
This cupcake makes me want to bake more coffee-inspired cupcakes-look forward to that!
