Zoo Gorillas Get Birthday Cupcakes from Georgetown Cupcakes

Two of the National Zoo's lowland gorillas will be the stars of the February 25 episode of DC Cupcakes, a TLC network show centered around the Georgetown Cupcake store at 3301 M Street NW.  The gorillas, Kojo and Kwame, who turned 9 and 11 respectively, were feted with an original, life-size gorilla sculpture made from hundreds of cupcakes. The cupcakes were served to human guests and zoogoers at the birthday party, while the gorillas dined on special cupcakes made from bananas, primate biscuits, and other ingredients, prepared by the Zoo's commissary staff.

The show, which airs on Friday night at 10:30pm, is the premiere of season two of the popular series.

In honor of the Zoo episode, Georgetown Cupcake has created a honey-banana cupcake

named Gone Bananas! and is donating the entire proceeds of sales to benefit the Zoo's conservation programs. The promotion will run from February 18 to March 4 at both locations of Georgetown Cupcake, the M Street store and the Bethesda store.

That's Entertaining: A Guide to DC Area Cupcake Stores

by Barbara Burtoff

It looked like the wedding cake had gone AWOL. It was nowhere in sight, but there was an easy explanation. The bride and groom did not want a sky-high, sugary-sweet, ornately trimmed finale to their nuptials. They wanted cupcakes – plain and simple.

The luncheon was catered. The cupcakes they bought at their favorite bakery. When the meal was over, the caterer’s crew cleared the dining room table and brought out a “tree” of cupcakes. There were chocolate ones with chocolate frosting. There were vanilla-flavored yellow cupcakes with vanilla-flavored white frosting. Guests were invited to come help themselves. And so they did. There was just one teensy tiny problem. Some people took one. Some took two. Some got none because the young couple had ordered only one per guest. They both had a look of sheer horror as they stared at the empty cupcake tree.
