At Home: Grand Marnier Chocolate Cupcakes

This was my first time ever baking cupcakes.  I've never even made them from a box, let alone from scratch.  I researched and researched and mixed and matched bits and pieces to come up with something I liked.  We were going to a party, so I thought I would spike the frosting for the adults and make Grand Marnier Chocolate Cupcakes.  The chocolate and orange combination was also appropriate for Halloween.  Check out my next dessert creation on What Micky Eats...At Home.

The Sweet Lobby

The Sweet Lobby is the newest bakery to open along Barracks Row in Capitol Hill and features macarons, cupcakes, madeleines, as well as European-style hot chocolate and loose leaf tea. Founded by a brother and sister team with chemical engineering degrees from MIT, the Sweet Lobby takes a more scientific approach to the sweets that have become trendy over the past couple of years. Competing with the big names (Hello Cupcake, Georgetown Cupcake, Crumbs, etc) the Sweet Lobby experiments with a mix of flavors ranging from orange-ginger to green tea-chocolate, in addition to favorites such as red velvet and carrot cake. The Sweet Lobby provides an excitement of treats to satisfy most palettes. Closest Metro is Eastern Market.

Hello Cupcake

Using highest quality, fresh, seasonal and local ingredients, Hello Cupcake creates distinctive treats that are über popular.  With over 50 flavors ranging from the simple to the sublime, along with seasonal and holiday selections, take home a box of these little gems any day.  Hello Cupcake has two locations in the district - Dupont Circle and Capitol Hill (Barracks Row).

Crumbs Bake Shop

Crumbs Bake Shops are inspired by old-time candy shops and are warm and inviting with wood cases, marble counters and wall to wall treats. Their motto is "A place where memories bring joy in celebrating the simple things in every day life." The menu is an irresistible blend of comfort-oriented classics and elegant baked goods, but the specialty of the house is the Crumbs Signature size cupcakes. With more than 50 varieties baked fresh daily and a new cupcake of the week every Monday, each Crumbs Bake Shop is an oasis of wall to wall deliciousness. There are 5 locations in DC and one in Clarendon, VA.

Molly's Cupcakes

With two locations (one in NYC and one in Chicago), Molly's Cupcakes is named for Miss Molly, the cupcakery's founder's third-grade teacher who would bake cupcakes for everyone's birthday. In honor of Molly and as a way to help our children, a portion of their profits is donated directly to schools in the community.
