Red Velvet – True to Their Name

Gourmet cupcake shops have popped up all over major cities in the past few years…a dangerous trend given how hard they are to resist! Red Velvet has two locations in Washington DC and offers assorted selection of cupcakes.

I ended up with a box of carrot cake, key west (key lime with white chocolate buttercream), devil’s food, and 3 red velvet cupcakes...to share of course! True to the shop name, the red velvet cupcakes were sinfully delightful - I especially loved their decadent whipped cream cheese frosting. The other ones weren’t particularly special - the key lime was too sweet, and the devil’s food was boring. In short, not the best or most moist cupcakes I've had, but the red velvets are still a treat.
