After our subpar meal at Co., Katie and I walked down a couple blocks to Billy’s for a sugar fix.
I asked for their yellow daisy buttercream cupcake ($2.25), and Katie got a red velvet ($2.75).
On a side note, I’ve recently noticed everything around me seems to be some form of pink (my phone, my camera, my nails, etc.). I didn’t ask for any specific frosting color — even though they have many — and the woman conveniently whips this one out for me:
Baby pink with chocolate sprinkles. Lovely.
I was probably having a bad day with food though because the cupcake was not as soft, and just not as good as the Billy’s cupcakes I’ve had before. I also ordered a latte that ended up being really watered down. Double Fail.
Katie’s red velvet with cream cheese frosting though was extra soft and extra good — which is probably why it’s also an extra $0.50.
The debate on best cupcake place in the city continues. What’s your favorite cupcake place?

nooo this makes me sad because Billy’s is by far my favorite.
I just had an off day with all things edible. Maybe it was just me. sigh.
billy’s is ok but sugar sweet sunshine is in a league of its own
I like the way you think SK.
There’s a new cupcake/frozen yogurt place in D.C. called Yocake. I haven’t tried it yet…will give you my verdict soon.
Miral took me to Two Little Red Hens this weekend. Loved it.
