No, this is not an exposé on chinese takeout. I finally broke my unofficial cupcake fast today. It was just time. I saw a sign advertising this place one day and finally got over to try it this afternoon. It’s located on the “forgotten” side of Reston Town Center behind the fountain, away from all [...]
I know this post has been a long time coming. It would have been here sooner but I felt nauseated anytime I tried to look over the pictures. But here it is! Our day began with homemade t-shirts, complete with punny slogan. Please also note the schedule which I did not make but it’s highlighted [...]
Today I went on the DC Cupcake Crawl and it was great fun – mostly everything I ever dreamed it would be. But I’m definitely hurting now. 9 bakeries = 4.25 cupcakes in 7 hours (we split them up). I don’t recommend it. I don’t think I want to eat any more cupcakes for the [...]

Today I had the good fortune to be part of the audience for a taping of the Rachael Ray Show. This is what happens when you’re otherwise unemployed – people invite you to do something and you get to say yes because you literally have nothing else to do. So after reading and re-reading [...]
I’ve never been nervous about tasting a cupcake before. Today’s excursion to Babycakes put the fear of cupcake in me. Babycakes is a sweet little bakery down at the edges of Chinatown, one of those places that’s covered in kitsch but is still way hipper than you’ll ever hope to be. What sets Babycakes apart [...]
