Georgetown Cupcake, the bakery most famous for being closed and denying customers their cupcakes (if you look them up on here, you'll see numerous customer complaints about this), is featured in Georgetown University paper The Hoya.
The owners of the “cupcakery,” sisters Katherine Kallinis and Sophie LaMontagne, bake and ice all of the cupcakes they sell — and more often than not, they sell out before the end of the day.
Yesterday, there was a small line of customers waiting for cupcakes at around 11:30 a.m. By 3 p.m., only four hours after opening for the day, Georgetown Cupcake sold out of the 1,000 cupcakes Kallinis and LaMontagne had baked that morning. The sisters re-opened at 5 p.m. with a new batch of 500 cupcakes.
Kallinis and LaMontagne also baked an additional 10 dozen cupcakes for a special “call-in” order. By closing time, a few dozen red velvet cupcakes were left.
They do address some of the complaints:
LaMontagne and Kallinis stressed their desire to accommodate every customer. LaMontagne said she even tries to save a few “emergency cupcakes” so that she can avoid disappointing any children who wait in line for a cupcake.
Kallinis and LaMontagne said one of their plans for future expansion is to create a satellite kitchen where people can only come to pick up orders. They say this will allow them to accept more catering jobs, such as weddings, that they currently do not feel that they can “take on.”
