Best Bakery and Cake Shops in Ashburn

"Georgetown is Washington DC’s unofficial cupcake hub, but Baked and Wired has a good system going, earning high praise from publications like the Washingtonian, Eater and Thrillist. The elegant ‘cakecups’ are baked in a rustic parchment paper liner that accentuates the fluffy cake bottom and effortless frosting swirl on top. The gorgeous sweets counter always has a GF ‘cakecup’ and a few other GF desserts (recent items include a DC cherry blossom themed GF cakecup and GF raspberry pop-tart)."

Dishes include cashew cheddar, garlic and onion potato pierogis served with sautéed greens and sauerkraut, and cavatelli with rapini and seitan sausage as well as a mushroom-chickpea burger with sunflower seeds, garlic aioli, walnuts, and caramelized onions.

Small plates include options like French Toast Sticks, Tofu Scramble and Roasted Potatoes."

For dinner, Guas updates NOLA dishes he grew up with, like spiced Gulf shrimp with green onion remoulade and blackened turkey meatballs with roasted tomato sauce, but hasn’t entirely forgotten his pastry chef roots. There are expert biscuits on the menu and super fluffy beignets with a generous coating of powdered sugar."
