election cupcakes


It will be two weeks ago tomorrow that Obama won the election, and I'm still giddy. I definitely woke up two Wednesdays ago pinching myself, but what with all those presidential-looking magazine covers Obama's been landing on, and the appointing of actual Cabinet members, I almost feel like it's safe to wake up.

I was home in DC a week before the election and stopped by Georgetown Cupcake. Their cupcakes really are the best. The store is teeny-tiny and there's always a line out the door, but I swooped in one morning right after it opened and snagged two election cupcakes. There were red elephant cupcakes available, too, but the thought of putting a McCain/Palin in my mouth was not so palatable. The other two cupcakes were chocolate banana (divine!) and pumpkin spice (adored!). I can safely say they put Magnolia to shame (not a hard feat, really), but I'll need to do some more taste tests before I declare them superior to the ones at Sugar Sweet Sunshine, my NYC cupcakes of choice.
I guess I don't have to choose a favorite, though. This administration I'm all about bi-cupcakisanship.
