Yes, everyone just adores Georgetown Cupcake but Baked & Wired is the very best spot, they cute and crazy names for the cupcakes I had a peanut butter chocolate cupcake affectionately named "Pretty Bitchin' " which tasted great they do not just have great presentation they have an awesome atmosphere as well. I got the just droppin by an old friends for quick bite type of vibe and they are right next to a coffee shop. If you like off the taking the road less traveled and being a foodie trendsetter this is your spot!

Let me start off my saying, do not even bother going to Georgetown Cupcake. With Baked and Wire just a few blocks away there is no excuse. Skip the long line and frankly overrated cupcakes and go to Baked and Wire. It’s where you’ll find a creative mix of baked good, great coffee, friendly staff and overall amazing experience. Growing up around D.C. Baked and Wire was my first choice for a decadent cupcake for several years now. When I was younger, I would make the trek down from the faraway Foggy Bottom metro stop just to get my hands on some Baked and Wired. Let me explain to you why. First reason: The cupcakes. Well all of their baked goods. With titles like “Elvis Impersonator AKA The Unporked Elvis” and “Chocolate Cupcake of Doom” Baked and Wired’s stock of cupcakes are enticing by name alone. Just wait until you see them. The main counter is covered in eye-catching cake plates, each housing a newly baked array of cupcakes. The only problem with this strategy is choosing. If cupcakes aren’t your thing, Bakes and Wired also offers a wide array of pies, cookies, bars and biscotti. Second reason: The coffee. Remember this place is called Baked and WIRED, so it has to have good coffee right? Right! Absolutely correct. Baked and Wired serves one of my favorite tallet (they’re also one of the only places to know what that is) in all of D.C. They carry all the popular brands from Stumptown Coffee Roasters to Madcap Coffee to Intelligentsia Coffee to Ceremony Coffee Roasters and even Barismo. On top of this all dairy is sourced locally from Trickling Springs Creamery in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania. Add to this a knowledgeable and friendly barista staff and you have a near perfect coffee experience. So there you have it folks, the baked and the wired behind Baked and Wired. No matter what you choose be sure to grab some “Hippie Crack” (think granola only better) on your way out for a treat later on.

I've tried Georgetown Cupcakes, Sprinkles, and the other bakeries around the DC area and I still prefer Baked & Wired. I love the welcoming and at-home feeling you feel as soon as you walk into the store. I love how all the baked goods are beautifully presented to you as soon as you walk in and you know that it is freshly baked just for you! If you go to Baked & Wired, you MUST get a cupcake because they are huge and delicious! My favorites are the red velvet cupcake & strawberry cupcake. They also have a great array of seating so that you are comfortable. You can sit on tables to work or just drink some tea on a big couch in the back. My friends have talked about the coffee & brownies but I have yet to taste these! I will certainly go very soon to fill my sweet tooth!
