"Pure bliss baked daily"

I have decided to indulge this week in confectionery delights in the D.C. Metro area.

What comes to mind when you think about Easter? Gigantic chocolate bunnies? Oozy Peeps that have been out in the sun too long?

I think about one thing: cupcakes.

And the best cupcake shop ever. These ain't your grandmas cupcakes either.

Located in a quaint corner of M Street in Northwest D.C. (a block away from The Shops at Georgetown)

Described as "happiness in the palm of your hand" boasts the most picturesque, ideal, fluffy, creamy, buttery, and all other mouth-watering adjectives you can think of, cupcakes.


There's a special daily cupcake menu depending on what day of the week, as well as monthly specialties. However, no matter what day of the week you visit this little shop of heaven you can find these favorites

• chocolate squared
• chocolate to the third
• vanilla squared
• red velvet
• chocolate & vanilla
• vanilla & chocolate
• (and sometimes, if you're lucky...toasted marshmallow)

My favorite?

By far the Lemon Blossom cupcake: light lemon cupcake with a lemon cream cheese frosting topped with a candied lemon peel.
