red velvet if you please

I bought cupcakes here and admittedly, i didn't eat them since i was giving them to friends but i can't believe they could sell a dozen for $36 if they were bad. Nice shop and staff.

Red Velvet--so disappointing

I bought 3 cupcakes to see how they measured up to my DC cupcake favorites: 1. G-town 2. baked and Wired (distant)3. Hello Cupcake. I have rarely met a cupcake I didnt like, but these were atrocious. the yellow birthday cake had a strong, artificial coconut flavor and icing with an almost pudding-like consistency. the devil's food had a bitter, burnt taste and gummy icing. the red velvet was the best of the lot, but the icing tasted like they used gelatin, ruining that creamy cream cheese goodness. I took another bite ou of the yellow cake this morning thinking they couldn't be THAT BAD. Still bad. Really bad. I think there is lots of room for lots of good bakeries in this town, so I am sorry these guys aren't getting it right.

Tasty Cupcakes & Great Hot Chocolate

I live in Penn Quarter and was very happy to see a cupcake store opening here, even happier when I tasted the little cakes. The red velvet and chocolate espresso are especially delicious-very moist & flavorful, with fantastic icing. The hot chocolate is also delicious (although, too hot to drink for at least 5 minutes). The review by "bestbets" is bizarre-giving them 1 star based on the website?! (I also disagree with the description of the cakes as muffin-like, but decide for yourself.) I've met the owner/manager-he seems like a nice guy with a great little new business. I hope they're successful because I love their little cakes & hot chocolate.
