Cost: $2.75 each (Buy 5 Get 1 Free)
Score: 4.8
Montgomery County based YoCake recently moved into some cool D.C. digs a la Dupont Circle. Located next to Ozio's, the tasty combination of both cupcakes and frozen yogurt is sure to be a hit amongst daytime workers and late-night club-crawlers alike. I stopped in to try six of their numerous flavors that range from 12 daily flavors and 45 specialty flavors. My assortment of cupcakes included: Amaretto, Carrot Cake, German Chocolate Cake, Lemon Burst, Pecan Hazlenut, and Strawberry Champagne. Each retailing for $2.75 with a buy 5 get 1 free deal. I also tried one of their amazing Yocake sundaes.
The gentleman behind the counter was super sweet and patiently suggested flavors for my mountainous YoCake sundae. After I expressed my love for strawberries, he suggested the perfect combination: a strawberry champagne cupcake with a combination of cheesecake froyo and strawberry froyo topped with fresh strawberries. *Drool* The sundae was so big I couldn't get the top over it.
The cupcakes were an even better treat. Each cuppie had a delicate balance of incredible texture and a frosting that would melt in your mouth; but not too sweet. They were the perfect size with a distinct flavor all their own. Although each cupcake was amazing, the strawberry champagne, lemon burst, and German chocolate cake were my favorite. I highly recommend them.
No cookie-cutter flavors here...both their cupcakes and frozen yogurt can stand alone while complementing one another. It's good to know that YoCake can walk and chew gum at the same time.

| My hand-crafted YoCake Sundae! |
Looking at the toppings bar I counted at least 10 toppings to choose from in addition to six frozen yogurt flavors. This is a great selection for creating your very own cupcake & froyo masterpiece. I took a quick spoonful of my sundae and it was awesome! The cheesecake and strawberry froyo was the perfect blend to accompany the sweet and delicate strawberry champagne cupcake. The adorning strawberries were the perfect balance of texture to make the sundae complete. I spent the rest of my weekend plotting how to get back to Dupont Circle and oh yeah...by the way...get another sundae. *tee-hee-hee*
