DC's Best Bakeries. Really?

[Crumbs, LA]
Gridskipper had a write up about DC's best bakeries and although I haven't been to all of these, I can definitely attest to at least two of these based on personal experience. Also on one more based on word-of-mouth reviews. I, for one, have a strong sweet tooth and can easily fall prey to anything that even looks like it may contain sugar. Not to say that anything containing sugar is suitable for ingestion. In my recent visit to LA I got a chance to try some awesome cupcakes at Crumbs and experienced heaven in all of its gloriousness with some cream puffs at Beard Papa's.

1. Georgetown Cupcake - Although I haven't been yet, I hear these cupcakes are too small and not very delicious, not to mention not worth their price tag.
2. Patisserie Poupon
3. Sticky Fingers - These guys used to cater their delicious pastries to Java Green, as they are heaven for vegans and vegetarians alike. Not once sacrificing taste for politics.
4. Best Buns Bread Company
5. Pastries by Randolph - I was lucky enough to know someone once employed by them who fed me their eclairs. OMG their eclairs. Definite must.
6. Baked & Wired

Edible Vinyl: WANT

It's not secret that I like toys almost as much as I like food. Well not quite as much, but pretty high up on the chart of wasted income.

Well, yesterday, while "thumbing" through our secret bf, Killah Beez, we came accross a perfect combination of or beloved urban vinyl and, get this, cream puffs!!! If you're unfamiliar with the vinyl, be sure to stop by kidrobot.com and get acquainted.

Well, without further adue, GUE presents to you Pocketwookie's Tasty Treats!

These guys are awesome. I mean, I've come across some sweet customized DIY Munny's before, but wow. These guys actually tricked me and for a second I wanted to put one in my mouth or lick the monitor at the very least.

The texture of the puff pastry Munny combined with the frosting, and the very well-designed box all played a trick on me.


and then there's the mini-pops!
