"Hell-no" Cupcake

so after burgers and coffee we wanted to hit up this new cupcake shop that people have been raving about, Hello Cupcake. it's located in Dupont Circle across from Krispy Kreme. I was excited to to try them out and what other DC cupcake spots had to offer.

The location was alittle hard to find but it's a few doors down from Big Hunt and Cafe Citron. It's Right at the neck of Conn. Ave where it hits the circle. The Decor was a nice retro feel, curvy wooden seats. blah blah blah....

the cupcakes. $3. icing stacked high upon hard muffin top. ape had a CHOCO, chocolate coconut. she complained about it be being dry on the inside. she didn't like it nor did i. i had a 24 carrott. the icing was super sweet and the cake was tasty but the hard muffin top really bothered me. we had a gingerbread the next day and that was actually pleasing.



overall, they charge too much for a hard, dry, cupcake that tries to cover their flaws with mile high icing. we definitely will not be going back. georgetown cupcakes +1!

Good to know. I saw a Magnolia Bakery by Rockefeller but the line was so long I didn't feel like waiting. Maybe next time.
