Before cupcakes, the only vehicle for frosting consumption was the bare hand, and the only place to load frosting onto that vehicle was the neighbourhood frosting bucket. Eat frosting the evolved way with today's Groupon: for $6, you get six cupcakes (a $13 value) at Just Cupcakes in Georgetown.

Once a gourmet foods café, Just Cupcakes changed its name and its focus to satisfy popular demand for its now eponymous confections. The shop bakes its palate-pleasing treats in small batches daily, using fresh, high-quality ingredients such as pure Madagascar bourbon vanilla, real butter, Callebaut chocolate, and cupcake liners plucked from the famed liner groves of Tuscany. The menu lists a daily roster of eight flavours including Banana Boulevard, Lemon Lane, and Sprinkle Street, as well as a changing rotation of featured flavours that can include red velvet and devil's food. Nut-allergy sufferers and jilted exes of pistachios needn't worry about running into their shell-encased foes because Just Cupcakes uses only nut-free recipes.
