My sons and I are big lovers of cupcakes! We are always on the hunt for a good cupcake. Most of the time, we make the trip up to DC to either Red Velvet or over to Shirlington and grab one from CakeLove. Both really good places, but we were hoping for some place a little closer. Well there is a great little place in Fairfax corner called Cupcakes Actually! 11944 Grand Commons Ave. www.cupcakesactually.com

You walk into the powder blue painted bakery and are face to face with the simple yet delicious display of cupcakes. The decor is simple and meant to display exactly what they are selling…cupcakes!

The flavors are great they have a moist and chocolatey Flourless chocolate cupcake, simply red with (in my opinion) the best cream cheese frosting and my favorite strawberry fields. They have others including dipped cupcakes!!

Check out the website and check out the bakery. Eat them there or take them with you. You will not go wrong with these delightful cakes. Enjoy!
