cupcake cup: challenge yourself!

i love food competitions: especially when i'm involved. we can all participate in washingtonian's cupcake cup. you can check out the brackets (the first round is over, but many more remain), taste test the participants and vote for your favorite(s). i took the photo above at my personal preference, hello cupcake at dupont circle. yum.

hello cupcake

bill and penny invited us to the cosmos club last night for dinner and a presentation on puget sound and the Chesapeake bay: it was a wonderful evening! penny is the proprietor of hello cupcake, hands down: the best cupcakes in dc! penny actually brought us 4 hello cupcakes, but I ate the strawberry one before I photographed it!

hello, cupcake!

i made cupcakes today: first time ever! they turned out great: there are 2 of 12 left. i tried some fun flavors. i made lemon cake with lime frosting; fresh strawberry with strawberry icing; caramel with chocolate, and toffee with toffee frosting. delicious. please dont tell my friend penny, though: she owns hello cupcake at dupont circle and makes the best cupcakes, ever. much lighter and fluffier than this novice can bake with the yummiest icings around!
