georgetown cupcake-like cupcakes in nova?

Another Lavender Moon fan here. They are the best in the area as far as I have tried. They are served at room temperature, they are always moist, and the frosting is not sickeningly sweet.

Honestly, I love the hype of G'town cupcakes and I live only a block away. But, they really aren't that great. I agree with an earlier poster that Giant cupcakes come out ahead. I brought this lovely cake into work from a Giant Bakery (back when they had bakeries onsite) and it was white choc. with white choc. icing. Everyone said it was the best cake they ever had. I told folks at first that I got it at the Ritz...people went on and on raving about it. Then, I said actually I got it at Giant and people were totally shocked.

i've been to them all, and alexandria cupcake in OT is the best. get there early because they often sell out and will close early.

You want overpriced cupcakes that are kind of blah? Heck, I'll happily bake you some and even deliver them to you!

NOT a Gtown Cupcake fan. Lavender Moon is good but I found that cupcakes! on 123 in Vienna is outstanding. My DC and I have tried just about every bakeshop around.
I still like Buzz just for the Illy but the last time we were there the Caffe Mocha cupcake was dry and the frosting was tooth-achingly sweet.
Cupcakes Actually in Fairfax is awful, Red Velvet Cupcakery in Dupont and Reston TC is awful, that place near Chevy Chase circle is awful, don't bother.

Last summer I took my 3 yo son on cupcake field trips: GC, Baked & Wired, Cupcake Actually, Lavender Moon, Grounded Coffee, and Swiss Bakery.

We go to Lavender Moon just because it is the closest Fav is Lemon curd and triple belgian chocolate. I will definitely try Alexandria Cupcake.

Has anyone tried Hello cupcake in DC yet?

I have tried Hello Cupcake. They were good, but not worth the trip in. Better than Cakelove though. I haven't tried all the competition, but I prefer Buzz and Lavender Moon.
