Description:

Try some of the sweetest treats in the District as you visit a few outstanding cupcake shops for some of the tastiest frostings and flavors around. The trend for these pint-sized desserts has led shops to pop up by the baker's dozen, and you can sample your way through the best on this guided tour.

Your first stop is at the world-famous Sprinkles Cupcakes, where you can sink your teeth into one of their miniature pastries at the home of the cupcake ATM—a large pink machine that dispenses cupcakes 24 hours a day. The machine is filled with 500 cupcakes at closing, and by most mornings they are gone.

Next, check out the mouthwatering selection at Thomas Sweet, known for its ice cream, delicious candies, and other confectioners. Sample some decadent homemade fudge as you learn more about this family-run Georgetown mainstay.

At Macaron Bee, get an introduction to the delicate French confectionery with a tasty gluten-free dessert made from almond flour with an assortment of cream fillings. You can compare even more macaron samples at Olivia Macarons and Dean & Deluca to decide who has the best in town.

Your last stop is at Georgetown Cupcake, a celebrity shop whose owners were featured on the reality TV show DC Cupcakes. Open since 2008, it still draws long lines and remains one of the most popular pastry shops in the DC area. You can bypass the line to sample their signature red velvet cupcake before departing to explore the many other facets of DC.
