There seems to be some major confusion as to when National Cupcake Day is. Some are suggesting that it is today, Tuesday, August 18, others say that in years past it has been celebrated on December 15th. I decided to check in with some of our local cupcake shops and this is what I found...Cake Love, our local here on U Street will be celebrating today, and you're in luck if you stop at any of their locations. They're having a buy 3 get one free promotion! They have expanded in both Maryland and Virginia and now have a total of six locations. Check out the website for Warren's blog and upcoming events from the store that I think started the whole DC cupcake craze.
Hello Cupcake (Dupont Circle) is sweet as can be. While they won't be doing anything special today, in one week they will be celebrating their first birthday with free cupcakes all day long. That's right, Tuesday, August 25, is free cupcake day. Mark your calendar, and bring your kids!
Red Velvet (Penn Quarter) and Georgetown Cupcake are both open for business as usual today, and welcome you if you're in the neighborhood.
I am celebrating today (and in December) by baking some mini chocolate cupcakes with raspberry Italian meringue buttercream and sharing them with Milo's playgroup. Get out and support your local cupcakery today, or every day. I'll hope to see some of you next week to celebrate Hello Cupcake's first birthday!
