Georgetown cupcakes

Whenever im on vacation or on a road trip either here in the states or overseas, i always make it a habit of doing my research and finding the best of whatever the country or town has to offer. Im not saying that im high maintenance or need five star cuisine,hotel or high end brand name stores. I research the places that the locals have made a buzz about or that travelers before me have written about or made recommendations to. Most people check out the most popular restaurant in the city or the coolest bar. I on the other hand check out weird things like the best cheese shop,breakfast spot and cupcake place in town. Cupcake places are by far my fave thing to go check out. The cupcake craze has taken pandemic proportions with  major cupcake shops in almost every big city in America and Canada. From Magnolia's and Crumbs in New York City to Sprinkles and Yummy cupcakes in Los Angeles. Cupcake shops seem to be popping up in every city not just the big ones.Case in point was my recent trip to Washington D.C. and a quick cab ride to Georgetown to check out the famous university campus,the quaint and historical bricklined streets and offcourse the famous Exorcist movie stairs (you know the one where the priest fell to his death). Anyway, i heard about a cupcake place in downtown Georgetown called what else Georgetown Cupcake. Offcourse upon arrival, like every popular cupcake shop there was a lovely line with mostly women waiting for their turn to buy a box or two of these scrumptious creations that they will all eat in one sitting and regret the rest of the year! I always feel ridiculous getting in line for cupcakes but i just had to. They had their everyday flavors like chocolate, red velvet and vanilla and then they had amazing flavors like peanut butter fudge, chocolate mint, lemon blossom, honey banana and toffee crunch!!The selection changes daily and some flavors are only seasonal! I had the peanut butter fudge cupcake which is made of valrhona chocolate, a fudge center and a peanut butter icing that tasted just like the smoothest,richest,creamest Skippy i've ever tasted. Then there was the coconut cupcake that had the most amazing vanilla cream cheese icing i've tasted in awhile. It wasnt too coconutty either if thats even a word! I dont like coconut anything usually but Georgetown cupcakes did it and other usually boring flavors just right.The two ladies who were inspired by their grannies and quit there jobs in fashion and finance to create this great spot, pride themselves in using only gourmet products in their cupcakes like Madagascar bourbon vanilla, valrhona chocolate and callebaut ganache.
