I love a good cupcake! Nothing compares to the idea of a personal mini cake perfectly topped with precisely piped frosting and all types of glorious gourmet goodness! When it comes to qualities we desire or consider non-negotiable in people, clothes, and food we all have a list. For me, I like a cupcake that is:
- moist
- rich
- never spongy or too airy
- appropriately dense
- able to be held in my hand or enjoyed with a fork
- presented with the prefect frosting to cake ratio
- wisely priced
- so good, I’d want to eat another!

I won’t interject my opinions on this post, but if you search the site or some of my tweets, you’ll see which bakeries I prefer. Maybe I’ll revisit all of them and then re-review them. What do you think?
Hi,
Well I must say that Georgetown Cupcake is my favorite with Hello Cupcake coming in second. Although, I haven’t tried Baked & Wired and I hear that their cupcakes are great! A fresh, moist crumb and high quality ingredients are what sets the best cupcakes apart from the rest for me. Also, cute decorating also adds a nice touch.
I’m so glad you broke the silence! I’d agree, but my 1st & 2nd would be flipped with yours. LOL
