CUPCAKES for party

[Anonymous]

My son's birthday is next month, and we're in the planning phase now. I'd like to use a small, local cupcake shop because I am big on buying local. Georgetown Cupcake is good, but I'm interesting supporting the smaller guys... any recommendations? I'm not looking for grocery store cupcakes, BTW and I want something that both kids AND parents will enjoy.

Where are you located? There are roughly 8 million cupcake shops in the DC metro area.

I'm located in DC. I know where cupcake shops are, I'm just looking for recommendations as to which ones are good/preferred.

Sweet Lobby is my favorite.

LOL. GT Cupcakes are my fave also and I have not found ones that I like better. But I live close to Sweet Lobby and think their cupcakes are so dry and not good. Sad because they look pretty!

Someone just asked for cupcake shop recommendations last month so you might find some recommendations there.

There is a parent at my son's school who has a cupcake company. She delivers free in DC and wholesales to local restaurants. I swear, they are the best I have ever had. If you want her biz info, I'll be glad to post it.

Baked and Wired in Georgetown is BETTER than G'town cupcakes, IMO.

The name of her company is Savannah Cupcake. I'm pretty sure she has a website and has all the social media sites as well, but since I see her regularly, I don't go that route. But it will be worth it for you, I promise. Good luck!

Fraiche in Bethesda is really very good. By all means, stay away from Crumbs, which tastes pretty crumby.

Ironically, I heard today that they are closing all of their stores.

Baked n wired are the best.
Nice little place in friendship heights-- Frosting.

Sad to report that Frosting is no longer a cupcake place. It has a new owner and has becomes general bakery/coffee place. So sad to lose our neighborhood cupcake place.
