Review of Baked and Wire

If you want nothing but the best cupcakes in town,...

If you want nothing but the best cupcakes in town, go here!

Located in a side street of Georgetown, it's easy to miss if you're ill-informed. There are a couple of other cupcake options on M street, one of which sees lines out the door all day, but you would seriously be missing out if you didn't try Baked and Wired while you're in the area.

I've lost track of how many cupcakes I've had over the years, but some of the standout flavors I've had were the German chocolate cake with coconut flakes, the chocolate-mocha cupcake, a maple-bacon-brown sugar cupcake, and the classic "Chocolate Doom" cupcake. I've also tried one of their sandwich cookies too (another mocha-chocolate option), and was more than impressed.

What makes these desserts so amazing is that they're all rich with flavor, moist and soft, and big! Nothing I've had was too sweet, and it's clear that each item was made with an intense attention to detail in order to balance flavor, texture, and sweetness between the cake and the frosting.

They also have a huge selection of cupcake flavors to choose from that line the counter to order (easily more than 15 options at any given time), and a number of other desserts I have yet to try. There are a bunch of staple items on the menu, and constantly new treats to try. Chances are if you haven't been here in a couple months, you'll see a lot of new stuff.

There is also an attached coffee bar here, but fairly limited seating throughout. If the weather is permitting though, there is a lot of public seating in Georgetown. Just grab your treats, walk to the waterfront, and enjoy!
