| I've had their cupcakes and was not impressed at all, but are the cakes better? I thought I tried one many years ago and it was pretty good, but it may have been from somewhere else. I need to get a small cake (for 6 people) for a 40th wedding anniversary and I want it to be fun, special, and different. Any thoughts on Cakelove? Or other places near upper NW DC? |

I was all into Cakelove back before all of the other way superior bakeries opened up. They are now bottom of the totem pole though, imho.
I LOVE baked and wired and georgetown cupcakes. Also second the Cheesecake Factory. And sticky fingers does amazingly delicious vegan cakes. |

| Skip the cake and do G-town Cupcakes. Cakelove sucks! Their cupcakes are so dry and stale. |

| G-town Cupcakes are so overrated. |

21:32 here and I love Georgetown Cupcakes. I did have a so-so experience with cupcakes I ordered for Christmas, but I chalked this up to having to bake so many cupcakes that some of them were not baked the day I picked them up. Any other time I've stopped in or ordered the cupcakes have been moist, fresh and yummy! 21:33, what cupcakes DO you like?

| Cakelove is overrated. I order special occasion cakes from Furins in Georgetown. They are made to order and are delicious. The coconut is my favorite. |

| Furin's coconut cake is heaven on earth. |

| I've tried Cakelove, Red Velvet, Hello Cupcake, and Lavender Moon. Lavender Moon blows all the rest away, IMO. A cupcake is a cupcake, so it's not like the others aren't enjoyable - they are - but Lavender Moon? Yummmm! |

Where is this Laveder Moon? Having a craving. 
Agree that Cakelove is overrated. The owner however is a hottie! |

It's a sad commentary that a cupcake store could even be under or over-rated. How can this town be so preoccupied with a thing like a cupcake store? It's a damn cupcake. C'mon! |

The thing about Cakelove cakes is that you have to let them "thaw" for a couple of hours before they taste good. We love their vanilla cake with strawberry buttercream frosting. I really like Georgetown Cupcakes too. Furin's cakes are so-so, EXCEPT for the coconut cake, which is the BEST I've had.
I made the mistake of paying for a cupcake at Fancy Cakes by Leslie. Blech. I think the bakers are more into the design than the taste of the cakes. |
