get baked

That time I drove all the way to DC for a cupcake... and to drop Alicia off and obsess over Kevin.

I think most of me wanted to go here for the name of the bakery.  Baked and Wired?  That's so genius; I can't get over it.. because I wish I conceived of it first.  I imagine it in SF before DC, but DC's closer.

These perfectly complementary morsels are Dirty Chai and Tessita.  I like how the frosting seems like it was effortlessly brushed on with one swoop of the spoon.  And I like the folded paper "cups" that remind me of muffins in Aussieland.

Dirty chai.. kind of self explanatory.  In lieu of a coffee beverage to perk myself up in the unusually hot weather.  Moist and delicious, no complaints, even ate most of the frosting and I'm not a frosting girl.

Tessita is a vanilla cupcake filled with dulce de leche and topped with chocolate frosting.

Felt like a kid in a candy shop looking at the display.  Loved that each show cupcake had its own glass chamber.  Appreciated that the man in front of us was buying two cupcakes whilst holding a Sephora bag - someone's a lucky girl.
