Baked & Wired cupcake bakery/coffeehouse had been charming Georgetown for many years before its competitor named for the neighborhood arrived, and it's more fashionable, too--just as you'd expect from a business created by graphic designers.

If you could make a 3-D world out of all the impossibly pretty images from your favorite design blog, Baked & Wired is what it would look like! Glass cloches on a marble counter protect 20 kinds of cupcakes (with such names as "Menage a Trois" and "Unporked Elvis"), and pastel cakestands elevate pies overflowing with fruit. Nearby, more glass canisters of cookies, brownies, and cupcake sprinkles catch the sunlight.

If you can't decide what to try, go for the chocolate peanut butter cupcake. In an eight-week hunt to find the best cupcakes in the city, The Post's Food section called that flavor "truly delectable." Experience the delights at Baked & Wired, guaranteed to satisfy any sweet tooth.
