Oh Yum!

My sister recently sent me a present for my birthday.  She called to make sure I'd be home at a certain time so I figured it had to be some sort of delivery.  I was imagining a song and dance from some person dressed in a costume, but instead there was a man at the door with a white paper bag saying, "Special delivery!".  I read the bag and it said, Georgetown Cupcake.  Inside the bag was a pink box.  Inside the pink box were a dozen assorted cupcakes.  Little did they know they were about to be ravaged.

Georgetown Cupcake is owned by two sisters and they have their own TV series on TLC called DC Cupcakes.  I can't imagine how they make a TV series about that, but I soon learned that they are so very popular.  My 7 year old daughter comes home from school and sees the bag on the table and said, "Oh, Georgetown Cupcakes!  If I read ten books, I get a free cupcake from them.", a neighbor came over and saw the bag and said, "Oh, I love that place!  I go there all the time.  I love the Oreo cupcake."  I was browsing around Facebook and noticed someone had Georgetown Cupcake under a list of things they "like".  This is what happens when you don't have cable, but I now feel like part of the club.  Whenever I get a chance, I'm heading over to the Bethesda location and trying out some new flavors.  I'll try to remember to bring my camera and join the other tourists.

So there were twelve different, simple but elegant cupcakes.  I couldn't possible eat them all.  It makes sense to share them with my family, but that would mean that I wouldn't be able to taste all the flavors.  Pashaw, I couldn't let that happen.  I told my kids that we were all having cupcakes after dinner, but Mommy had to take a small slice of each cupcake to taste it.  I hate to say it, but those cupcakes were gone in three days.  My favorites being the Chocolate Ganache and the Toffee Crunch.  I tell ya, I've had my share of cupcakes, but these were fantastic!  Oh yummy!!!!

Thank you to my sister for getting the most thoughtful gift.
