May 23, 2011

After a short run and an hour of yoga, I was ready for our cupcake crawl, similar to a pub crawl but a bit sweeter and a tad loopier.  We chose six different cupcake establishments around D.C. and walked from place to place, which was mostly designed to cancel out the onslaught of sugary calories we were ingesting.  We started at Hello Cupcake, then off to Red Velvet, then Cake Love, eating a couple bites of one cupcake from each.  We took a short reprieve in a coffee shop, Busboys and Poets, to allow the sugar to level off before proceeding to M Street for Sprinkles and baked & wired.  The pièce de résistance, or so we had hoped, was Georgetown Cupcake.  All in all, my favorite was the Unporked Elvis at baked & wired.  I felt my heart break into a million tiny pieces as I threw away most of the banana cake covered in peanut butter icing drizzled with chocolate syrup.  A successfully juxtaposed day, to say the least: miles of walking and miles of sugar.
