Description

Cupcakes are the new trendy thing and as Georgetown is the leader of trends, there are no shortages of cupcakes! Besides being trendy, Georgetown is also the most historic neighborhood in Washingon, yet we would hardly think of cupcakes, as historic, however, they certainly are!

The first mention of a cake produced in a cup goes all the way back to 1796, in the cookbook, "American Cookery" by Ameila Simmons. The first reference and recipe for an actual "cupcake" is printed in Eliza Leslie's 1828 cookbook, "Seventy-Five Receipts for Pastry, Cakes and Sweetmeats."

Join Dwane Starlin, member of the Guild of Professional Tour Guides, for a delightful walking tour of Georgetown- with history and cupcakes! The tour will begin at Dumbarton House and make stops at three cupcake shops in Georgetown- Baked & Wired, Sprinkles, and Georgetown Cupcake. The ticket price includes one cupcake from each shop. Please note, the tour will not return to Dumbarton House, but will end at Sprinkles.Comfy walking shoes a must! No pets, please.

Meet at the corner of Q and 27th Streets, NW (by the garden gates)
