If you follow the New York City cupcake scene (I know, geek alert!), then you know that the talk of the town is the soon-to-open, first ever, NYC outpost of Georgetown Cupcake. I’m excited to report that as of this Saturday, February 11, Mercer Street will be home to a new brand of small cakes.
You may be saying to yourself, great, this is just what New York needs, ANOTHER cupcake shop. And I might agree with you if we were talking about another Magnolia spinoff, but Georgetown Cupcake is no such shop. It’s in my opinion, a refreshing addition to our growing city of sweets.
I tasted these DC treats in the flesh on a trip a few years ago and thoroughly enjoyed them. After seeing so many bakeshops tout their red velvet cakes as “the best,” I was pretty sick of those tacky red cakes when I stumbled in to Georgetown Cupcake that day. I decided to give it a whirl anyway, along with a bevy of other flavors, and found most of them simply delightful. Light, flavorful and adorably decorated. Check out my DC tasting notes here.
I can’t wait to check out their new Big Apple cupcake. Happy tasting!
