Divine Cupcakes and an Indian Cafe!!

Wow! I have been royally spoiled the past several days with tasty treats in the neighborhood.


I found two brand new eateries that are simply to die for!!! Like many people, I have a serious sweet tooth and always yearn for a sweet afternoon snack. One afternoon last week, I walked over to a new cupcake shop called Frosting located on the corner of Western and Wisconsin circle, right behind the Giant and next to the former Perez salon and Day Spa. I walked in and ordered a Baba’s Baby, a carrot bottom with vanilla cream cheese buttercream top and a Snowflake, with coconut bottom with coconut vanilla buttercream top

Just to let you know, I am one of the pickiest people around and am frequently disappointed with food, especially when I go out to eat. (just ask my wife)

Well, I was stunned. The cupcakes were probably the best I have ever had! They were so moist and tasty, with a perfect amount of sugar and icing that was so thick and creamy it melted in my mouth! I was so happy it made me forget all about the $2.75 I spent per cupcake to engage in the deliciousness. And, although I don't drink coffee, I am told by all my neighbors that the illy coffee they serve is the best.

The next time you get a hankering for something sweet, support our new local cupcakery and visit Frosting. And no, I am not being paid to write about them, they don't even know:) http://frostingacupcakery.com/home.html



So, I began with the dessert first just as I do in real life. But, I must now rave about the newest indian delight in our neighborhood. Just down Wisconsin towards DC, right beside Le Chat Noir, is a little place on the corner called Cafe of India. Our love affair (my wife knows of course, she was there!) first began a few weeks ago with the Crackling Spinach. The Crackling Spinach is hard to imagine until you try it. It is sweet and light, with dates and avocado, lightly deep fried and decadent. Once I was hooked on that, I tried the butter chicken, chicken tikka, rice, fried vegetable something???, lamb kabob and pureed spinach with cheese. Amazing.

I have been four times in the last two weeks and thought that I really should share this experience with the rest of my neighbors so....here it is. http://www.cafeofindiadc.com/


Go, eat, enjoy! And don't forget to get your cupcake for dessert on the way home!
