I’ve been toying with the idea of wedding cupcakes for a few months and last month I learned that my birthday is the same day as National Cupcake Day. To me, that seemed like a sign and Don was very agreeable. After all, who doesn’t love cupcakes?
Also in December, two of my fabulous co-workers and I had a chance to sample some of the Washington Post award-winning cupcakes from Georgetown Cupcakes.
They. 
Are.
Amazing.
Sweet, moist, light, fluffy. I just can’t say enough about these gems.
Oh, there is one more thing I can say about them … they actually fit into our budget.
Of course, if you’re paying attention you’ll note that Georgetown is in Washington, DC - 3 hours away from our wedding reception site. Yes, it’s a problem, but these cupcakes are good enough to warrant finding a solution.
The friendly catering manager, Katy, tells me that while they suggest same day consumption for their cute little cakes, they taste pretty great on day two and that we will not have a problem picking up the cupcakes on Friday and serving them on Saturday evening. On top of that, our friend and neighbor, Martha, offered to chauffeur the little beauties with her when she comes for the wedding (since Don and I are headed in that direction on Wednesday night or Thursday morning).Yippee!
And, if that’s not enough good news, Katy also told me that they’d be delighted to decorate them (at no additional charge since they’d be decorating them anyway) with the beautiful chocolate sea shells from Guylian that I will provide for them.
I’m giddy with excitement of sharing these amazing little cupcakes with our friends and family. All that’s left is to pick the flavors. We can choose anything on the Friday menu and have already selected chocolate and vanilla, and vanilla and chocolate - but will probably pick one or two more. I’m thinking lemon blossom sounds YUM and the seasonal cupcake for May is toffee (which I love).
