Anyone know how to get the recipe? Wouldn't it be great to give Georgetown Cupcake some homemade competition?? Hey, I am an avid baker myself ... with an unfortunate tendency to cheat :-}

They're like crack. Like, I've made lots of different cake recipes from different cookbooks, but there's something about their cake that's just better - like, it's fluffier and more flavorful than I can produce at home. Same thing with the frosting - their vanilla frosting has this slight tangy/sweet thing, but I'm not sure how they do it. A little bit of cream cheese? Sour cream? Anyway, it's easy to say that people should just bake their own cupcakes, but I really think that G-Town cupcake produces a product that one can't easily replicate. And that's part of the reason why I go there and stand in that line - it really is better than what I can make at home. Well, yet. Better than what I can make at home yet.
