Cupcake Review: Lemonberry

So this weekend I was out in the city with my favorite guy Christophe Mortimer and to my surprise I looked down and I saw a $20 bill - For the Win (FTW)!!! We looked left and we looked right and there were no claimers so although we had just stuffed ourselves with Rosa Mexicano not even an hour before we decided to splurge on CUPCAKES! We paraded down M street in the Georgetown area of Washington, DC and made a right on Potomac to find the infamous Georgetown Cupcake. Georgetown Cupcake is trademarked by the fact that there is usually a line down the block with people waiting to get their hands on the new all American craze - The Cupcake. The Cupcakes are reasonably priced starting at $2.75 so we decided to purchase two a piece. Of course I ordered one Red Velvet cupcake and I decided to step outside of my box and I ordered a Lemonberry cupcake. The Lemonberry cupcake was as cute as a button. Yellow cake, with a Raspberry Fuschia colored icing, with a little lemon shaped candy in the center.



Full off of Rosa's, I didn't get a bite of my cupcake until hours later. To my surprise this was the worst cupcake that I've had in my life. The actual cake was good. It was a lemon and poppy seed cake with one issue - horrible icing. Probably because of the food coloring in the icing. The first bite had a bit of an after taste so I waited to see if it was the little candy on top that I had eaten first. Ten minutes later another bite... TRASH - $2.75 wasted. All I could think about was hearing the lady behind me in line order 4 Lemonberries as I walked out of the door. I bet she's pissed!
