Best cupcakes
The Washington Post Staff | Updated 10/19/2009
Tiny, indulgent and cute as a button, cupcakes have all the makings of a perfect sweet treat.
Baked & Wired
Washington, DC
The bubble-gum pink strawberry cupcake is our favorite. Wash it down with a latte in the edgy-cool cafe space.
Hello Cupcake
Washington, DC
Hello Cupcake gets points for its Metro-accessibility, cheery storefront and inventive flavor combinations.
Best Buns Bread Co.
Arlington, VA
There's nothing "cup" about the softball-sized cakes at Best Buns. Opt for one with the meltingly good cream cheese icing.
Red Velvet Cupcakery
Washington, DC
Pastry chef David Guas has lent his talents to the menu at this Penn Quarter shop.

Podcasts
What is a podcast? How do I listen?
A podcast is an audio file that can be downloaded to your computer. The word "podcast" is derived from Apple Inc's portable music player, the iPod. Podcasts are usually downloaded through a program like iTunes onto an iPod using RSS feeds, but they can also be directly downloaded on to a computer or listened to in streaming format. It's free to download or listen to our podcasts.
