The popular cupcakery Hello Cupcake turns 2 and to celebrate their birthday they gave away cupcakes. The gourmet cupcakery in Dupont Circle gave away cupcakes to celebrate another “year of sweet success” according to their website.
Hello Cupcake is known for having fresh, seasonal and local ingredients. They also have more than 50 delicious flavors for their sweet and yummy cupcakes. They make their cupcakes from scratch all-day and everyday.
Some of their flavors include triple coconut, raspberry beret, peppermint penny, dulce de leche, cookies-n-cream, pink lemonade and peanut butter. Root beer is the flavor available only for the month of August. It’s easy to see that Hello Cupcake can come up with lots of sweet, scrumptious and yummy flavors!
We hope you had a chance to go to Dupont Circle and wish them a Happy 2nd Birthday. And to enjoy a free cupcake to celebrate this great 2nd birthday. Even if you didn’t, it’s exciting to think another great cupcakery turns 2 today and is going on to do fun and exciting things with cupcakes. We look forward to seeing what Hello Cupcake does for their 3rd year. Happy Birthday Hello Cupcake!

Cupcake fans you can look forward to another fun season of this great show. D.C. Cupcakes has been signed for a second season with TLC. According to the Washington Post, it is uncertain exactly how many episodes will air for the second season.
D.C. Cupcakes is about two sisters and co-owners Sophie LaMontagne and Katherine Kallinis, who own Georgetown Cupcake in the D.C. area. The first season was a success, airing on Friday nights.
More than a million people watched the debut of D.C. Cupcakes. 1.5 million people watched the season finale.
It’s great we have even more of this sweet and fun reality TV show to enjoy. Many have fallen for the charm of D.C. Cupcakes and the two sisters who run this successful cupcakery. The past season has been so entertaining, watching them make cupcakes and help make people’s celebrations brighter and just a bit sweeter.
Cupcake and baking reality TV shows have become quite popular. Between D.C. Cupcakes, Cupcake Wars and Ace of Cakes…there is always something terrific on to help you get your “cupcake fix.” What’s your favorite cupcake or baking reality TV show? Share it with us in the comments?
