Hello Cupcake has one of the largest menus on my Top 5 list, with 8 permanent flavors plus more than 20 rotating and seasonal varieties. Check out their weekly menu to be sure they have your favorite in-store. In addition to their vanilla-vanilla (one of Hello Cupcake's "Originals" flavors), I love their Lucy & Princess varieties.
Hello is the first cupcake on the list whose frosting holds up to its cake. While similar texture to Buzz & Something Sweet, the cake at Hello has much more flavor, and its frosting outshines both. It's definitely on the sweeter side and piled high-- just the way it should be.
- Size: The cupcakes are a very good size (bigger than Gtown cupake, smaller than Something Sweet)
- Cost: $3.00-- which is about the average price in DC
- Cake: Perfect-- not too moist, not too dry
- Frosting: Just like mom's homemade! Divine.
- Cake to Frosting Ratio: Perfect-- sometimes I squish it down a bit so it covers more of the cupacke and so I can fit it in my mouth.
I couldn't wait for this shop to open up in 2008, and I remember waiting in line with my colleagues on opening day when they ran out. It wasn't long before Hello became one of my staples, and a special treat whenever I'm in Dupont.
There are rumors that Hello Cupcake is looking to expand into the Arlington area, I have lots of friends who hope this is true!
