Okay, so last week in the “sweet treats” week of blogs, I talked about Georgetown Cupcakes and their lavish deliciousness.
I have another cupcake bakery, or as many like to call it, “cupcakery” that I was notified about by a fellow sweet tooth.
Oh, and its local.
CUPCAKES ACTUALLY is located nearby in good ole Fairfax Corner (across from Chipotle to be exact).
The first words on their website reads: “Okay. We admit it. We are snobs. Cupcake snobs.”
Now, that is my kind of place.
Cupcakes Actually opened up early this year in a prime location, making their snob-ish decadence something you can’t miss. Hailing from the Detroit suburbs, Cupcakes Actually’s cupcakes are the creations of the owner Sue and her love for frosting and cake batter.
There are three “classic” kinds of cupcakes that Cupcakes Actually produces and they are (dare I say it) better than Georgetown Cupcakes’…and closer.
- Actually Dipped Chocolate (devil’s food cake topped with buttercream and dipped in chocolate fudge…OMG)
- Actually Dipped Caramel (vanilla cake topped with buttercream and dipped in caramely goodness)
- Actually Dipped Peanut Butter (devil’s food cake AND peanut butter icing AND chocolate fudge…to die for.)
Some other interesting choices are “Let’s Stay Awake, Cupcake (A rich, chocolate mocha cupcake, iced with a coffee buttercream),” “Razzmatazz (vanilla cake blended with a raspberry purée, iced with a rich raspberry buttercream)” and “Italian Stallion (butter cake, traditional iced with Italian butter cream).”
I gotta go get me some cupcakes.
