Baked & Wired

As a disclaimer, I’ve covered this place before, but I felt it deserved it’s own writeup.

Baked & Wired is a little shop just off M St., the main road that cuts through Georgetown in DC. It doesn’t particularly stand out with its storefront sign, mostly discernible with the bright ass neon Barbie pink Huffy parked out front. How the hell can you miss that thing? If aliens decided to attach Earth starting with Georgetown (if aliens attacked Earth the should start with Georgetown), they’d probably see how bright this bike is and get scurred off from the intensity.

Baked & Wired's storefront. Check for cryptic Masonic writings in chalk on the brick outside.

Once you’re inside, you’ll notice that the place is split into the coffee bar on the right, and the baked goods extravaganza on the left. The coffee bar offers every sort of caffeinated drink you could want, and a host of quiches as well.

The real draw of this place, though, are the cupcakes. Pharaohs have traveled halfway across the world for these cupcakes. Michael Jackson gave up the other white rhinestone glove for the last Pretty Bitchin’ Cupcake before his passing. Axl Rose was given a charity cupcake if he promised to never to release another Guns’N'Roses album after Chinese Democracy.

True stories. That’s how good these things are.

Cupcakes make a better display that severed heads. Happy Halloween!

Jen and I popped in for our Sunday morning cupcakes. We split two between us, the Spice cupcake, which had hints of Chai, and the Pumpkin cupcake, both of which are seasonal cupcakes that aren’t in the regular rotation.

Spice Cupcake

Both of the cupcakes were phenomenal, although the Pumpkin cupcake had a better serving of frosting on top, and a much moister cake base. The Spice cupcake held it’s own, although was slightly less satisfying of the two.

If you’re ever in Georgetown or are looking for a good cupcake, I would say you’d be pretty hard pressed to find a better one that the ones at Baked and Wired. You can view them on a map here.
