Georgetown Cupcake...The Show!

That's right! Many of you probably know this by now, but for those of you who don't, check out this blog posting sent to me by the people over at NBC Universal:

"It's going to be a sweet Valentine's Day for the founders of Georgetown Cupcake. Not only are they going to be celebrating a second anniversary, but they are also about the become TV stars.

According to local blog DC Fab!, the show will be a "how to" for cupcake enthusiasts. The cameras will also go behind the curtain (or perhaps beneath the frosting) to reveal the success secrets of the booming business.

Sisters Katherine Kallinis and Sophie LaMontagne co-founded Georgetown Cupcake together almost two years ago. They recently moved into a new flagship location on M Street. They also started delivering deliciousness across the country, sending their cupcakes to nationwide stardom."

And there you have it! Stay tuned for more details.

Hello Cupcake Holiday Flavors

Hello Cupcake is featuring 3 holiday flavors – Gingerbread, Hot Buttered Rum, and Candy Cane. I remember HC having Hot Buttered Rum last year and never had a chance to try it; but I’m sure if they’ve brought it back for a 2nd year in a row then it’s a winner!

Above are two pictures from the Hello Cupcake website of their Hot Buttered Rum and Gingerbread Flavors. The Gingerbread flavor is a spicy ginger cake with lemon cream cheese frosting, and the Hot Buttered Rum flavor is made up of rum raisin cake with rum frosting and rum-soaked raisins on top. I didn’t see a picture of the Candy Cane flavor posted on the site, so you’ll have to drop into HC and check it out for yourself!
