I love you like a fat kid loves cupcakes.
I think it’s safe to say we all have a soft spot for Baked and Wired . It’s our cozy little coffee shop across the street, a sweet bastion of Starbucks relief. I think it’s also safe to say that my team is utterly and completely obsessed with their cupcakes. Oh, they’re not just for birthdays anymore. Had a tough week? Have a cupcake! Made it in on time today? Have a cupcake! Getting ready to sit through 4 hours of legal review? Cupcakes for breakfast!
We hold these B&W cupcakes near and dear to our hearts. So when we learned that our little bake shop had some fancy competition from Georgetown Cupcake’s “designer” treats, we decided that it was our duty to perform an official taste test.
After two days of frenzied of cupcake sampling, results were inconclusive at best. How can you compare a perfectly baked strawberry-vanilla masterpiece with a dense and fudgey choco-mint newcomer? It’s apples to oranges people. Our methodology could use some work. We needed an official guide for evaluating things like icing consistency, cake density, and overall taste. And we needed an even comparison of price, location and bakery atmosphere. We needed to take this to the next level.
So, I’m here to announce RTCRM’s Great Cupcake Taste-Off. Our team is working out the details, but we do know this: official cupcake tasters from the 1025 building will evaluate several different flavors from both Baked and Wired and Georgetown Cupcake . Check back in a couple weeks to see what happens when the cake starts flying and we all eat ourselves silly. Stay tuned - results will be posted once I wake up from the sugar coma.
