Though I have visited Georgetown Cupcake on numerous occasions, one particular visit best displays my feelings for Georgetown Cupcake:

About a month in to Sprinkles Cupcakes' opening, I stopped at Sprinkles at 9:00 AM to use a gift card I had good for a dozen cupcakes. I had introduced a coworker to Sprinkles when it first opened in DC, and though she said she enjoyed the cupcake, she hadn't yet tried a Georgetown Cupcake, so I told her I'd stop by and get her one on my way back from picking up Sprinkles Cupcakes.

Since Georgetown Cupcake doesn't open up until 10:00 A.M., I walk to Georgetown Cupcake with a dozen Sprinkles Cupcakes in hand, and wait in the line that's already forming outside the door.

A gentleman behind me notices my Sprinkles bag, and asks "Are you doing a cupcake tour of DC?"
I reply, "No, I definitely prefer Sprinkles, but my coworker wants to compare Georgetown Cupcake to Sprinkles, so I'm picking one up for her."
The gentleman then states that he is looking for cupcakes to take back to his children, and asks which place I would recommend. I quickly and honestly state, "Georgetown Cupcake has "prettier" decorations which I think little girls would love (sprinkles, chocolate drizzle in cute arrangements, cute fondant cutouts, etc.)so I would definitely stick to Georgetown Cupcake for the kids."
The gentleman seem quite satisfied that his waiting in line for cupcakes was now justifiable.
My waiting in line was also justifiable, because I was waiting in line to get the free cupcake of the day to prove that Sprinkles Cupcakes is better.

Here's what I like about Georgetown Cupcake: the fondant decorations. I actually enjoy eating them more than the cupcake itself.
Here's what I don't like about Georgetown Cupcake: There's too much frosting and it's too sweet! Frosting has always been my favorite part of a cupcake. When baking cupcakes as a child, if a cupcake came out smaller than the rest of the cupcakes, and didn't reach the top of the cupcake liner, I would fill the rest of the cupcake liner with frosting. Oh how Georgetown Cupcake quickly changes everything. I have to fling chunks of frosting off my fingers into the nearest trash can as I walk down the street eating my cupcake. This is a big deal coming from me, because I have always lived by "You can never have too much frosting."
