Over here at 423smith (a.k.a - OrangeYouGlad) we’ve spent the last year or so working on the branding, web design, print and package design, and even the signage (see those cute wall decals?) for new Washington DC based cupcake shop Hello Cupcake. That is a full year of looking at photos of Penny’s tasty creations, drooling over their delicious descriptions, imagining their oh so delectible cake-tastic taste. And now, as of today, the shop is finally open and I am in the wrong zipcode to be able to get my hands on one of those precious little jewels.

Truth be told, I was able to get a hello cupcake teaser back in April when soon-to-be “Grandma” Duncan suprised me by contacting Penny to bake cupcakes for my baby shower. But, it has only left me wanting MORE!

These really are the best cupcakes I have EVER had (and I am not just saying this because Penny is our client/friend.) So, if you are reading this and you are in the DC area, please go treat yourself to a Velvet Elvis and have a second (or third) one for me.

a quick look at what the blogs are saying..
