Copycat Georgetown Cupcakes (Chocolate Ganache)
As you may know if you read my blog with any regularity, I reside in the incomparable DC/Metro area. I didn’t grow up here, but as soon as I moved to our nation’s capital, I knew it was home, at least for a while. My favorite thing to do is just roam around the city, sometimes for hours. Someday I’ll write more about that.
DC is known for many tourist attractions, like monuments and museums. But a few years back, our humble city also became famous for…cupcakes.
Yep, Georgetown Cupcake, the famous pink-infused cupcake chain, hasn’t slowed down since the day it opened! I wasn’t even aware of its existence until a colleague’s son was on the camera crew for TLC’s DC Cupcakes, a reality show about the store. Suddenly, pink boxes began coming into the office because the camera crew got extras left over at the end of the day. Believe me, I was grateful!
Anyway, since that time, I’ve been to Georgetown Cupcake many times, and it’s a happy and cheerful place. Even better, the owners share their recipes with everyone! This one is a favorite of mine, their chocolate ganache.
Gah, those peanut butter oreos are killing me. And so are your riddles, but in the best way possible! 🙂 Definitely the last one – make mini cheesecakes all the time! Happy weekend Mir!

You too, Mary Frances! And I have been beside myself since PB Oreos were invented. They’re so unreal!
Everything about this is perfect from the PB to the oreos to the cheesecake goodness!

Not vegan, though. You can develop a good recipe, Medha! You’re amazing at that!
I like your riddles, Mir! A fun way to start this post! These mini cheesecakes look adorable and delicious! I love that you used peanut butter oreos in here. I am addicted to those and they sound like they’re perfect in this cheesecake!

As usual, I love your thought process!
I must admit that I have never seen a man only eat one bite of dessert…usually they devour all the bites that I would have had for myself!! Nevertheless. I want. These. NOW! :O
