Frosting to Open in Mid-March

Frosting's big pink sign is still up-- but until recently, there has been no update as to when the new Friendship Heights cupcake shop would open. Plenty of co-workers and friends have been asking me-- is it open yet? when will it open? And now we're one step closer

According to Frosting's facebook page, the shop plans to open in Mid-March-- just in time for St. Patrick's Day! I'm not sure that March counts as "winter" which is when the website and sign outside said it would open, but since there will probably still be some snow on the ground it's not too far off.

There was also a fantastic article in the Washington Post about the owners, their wedding, and their plans for the bakeshop. Check it out!

I've been peeking through the window to check progress on the shop and its slowly been coming together. I can't wait for the Grand Opening, and will keep you posted on any devleopments!

44% off at Something Sweet

Cupcake deals must be in the air! There's another offer at Something Sweet -- one of my Top 5 (see full review). This time, you get 6 cupcakes for $10 (an $18 value).

Something Sweet is just off Wisconsin Ave in NW DC near the National Cathedral. It is across the street from the very popular 2 Amy's Pizza.

So if you haven't had a chance to try these yummy treats, now's the time!! Here's more information about the deal.

Happy Tuesday!

50% Off at Cake Love

Sorry I haven't been posting lately. I wish I could say it was just because I was super busy, or that I didn't have anything to write about... neither is true. Fact is, I just haven't been in the mood to write lately, but hopefully that changes today!


Cake Love is offering a $40 gift certificate for only $20 through Groupon. But hurry-- you can only purchase this deal today!

Cake Love is the bakeshop to make DC cupcakes famous when they were featured on Oprah (way before they were cool, we're talking 2005 people). While their cupcakes haven't lived up to all the hype ---several reviews, blogs, etc. confirm this-- I've heard through the grapevine that their actual cakes are amazing.

I've tried their cupcakes a few times in the past (pre-blog), and have always been unimpressed. So its time I re-visit and do a full review. And thanks to Groupon, I have an extra $20 to play with.

I use Groupon all the time, and can vouch that it's totally legit. It doesn't expire super soon either, you have until August 11, 2010 to use it. Groupon will even send you a reminder when the deal is going to expire, to make sure you use it!
