Alexandria Cupcake

Picture it:

Alexandria, Virginia

5pm

Beautiful day

Stunningly gorgeous girl (SGG) walking down King Street thinking about how she can waste time before meeting her friends

SGG sees Alexandria Cupcake sign & starts to salivate and claps her hands

SGG walks into Alexandria Cupcake and is surprised by how teeny tiny the store is

SGG is also surprised by the lack of cupcakes in the display case (the place doesn't close until 7pm and almost running out of cupcakes at 5pm is unacceptable and shows poor planning skills)

Man behind the counter (MBTC) is talking on the phone and ignoring SGG at the counter (which makes SGG very grumpy)

MBTC finally looks up and gets SGG the two cupcakes she asks for (Red Velvet & Chocolate Mint) ... and then continues to talk on the phone while mouthing the total SGG owes him

SGG walks out after a huff & a puff and sits on the cute little bench outside

First to be devoured is the Red Velvet cupcake ... the outside of the cake itself is a bit crusty, but the icing is a nice balance of sweet and tangy ... SGG thinks to herself that she's had better and she's had worse

Next to be devoured is the Chocolate Mint cupcake ... O to the M to the G ... the cupcake tastes like a bit of naughty heaven ... SGG loves it and has never tasted a better Chocolate Mint anything

Bottom line ... There are better cupcakeries and worse cupcakeries out there. If you go, definitely try the Chocolate Mint cupcake ... but beware of the horrible man behind the counter.

PS - Yes, people, that Stunningly Gorgeous Girl was me :D
