Baked & Wired

Baked & Wired makes the biggest cupcakes in Georgetown. The best? Maybe not. While the classic DC shop has some pretty cool ideas (the lemon blueberry Smurfette sounds great on paper), the flavors don’t show up as boldly—or at all in certain cupcakes like the carrot cake. Still, the bakery and cafe is a nice place to sneak off to, grab a coffee, and read a book along the patio by the C&O Canal—if you’re free during the day, because they’re only open from 9am-4pm during the week, and 6pm on Saturdays.
