The new kid on the street? Georgetown Cupcake on Newbury. Strolls around Newbury usually end like this: with various shopping bags on my arm and a stomach full of cupcakes. It's awful- bad for the wallet, bad for the belly, but I can't help it.
The look of the bakery is clean, crisp and pleasant.. even a bit whimsical. The flavor selection didn't "wow" me like Kickass or Crumbs did. They serve basic flavors at a standard (but nevertheless high) price for gourmet cupcakes. I got the marble brownie fudge (yum!) and PB swirl (eh) cupcakes. Pictured above, our lovely little petite cakes melting during the train ride home on a 80+ degree day. The store is simple and adorable, but along with the bland visual branding and lack of creative and inspiring flavors, this cupcakery fell short of my expectations.

ReplyDeleteLove me some Georgetown cupcakes. hopefully the lines there won't be as horrendous as they are here. Though the long lines do keep me from eating more cupcakes, which my waist line definitely appreciates.
everything about the idea of a "cupcake crawl" sounds awesome. And that place just looks amazing!

I am secretly (ok, not secretly) obsessed with all things cupcakes and reading this definitely kicks in the craving. I am always on the lookout for new cupcake shops and evidently they are becoming increasingly popular! This cupcake shop is super cute. Love the window display. Thanks for sharing this.
