Washington's cupcake options just keep growing. Hello Cupcake, a new cupcake-centric bakery, recently opened in Dupont Circle, offering a rotating menu of baked goods. Owner and executive chef Penny Karas makes at least 14 cake flavors a day and several different frostings, from buttercream to Swiss meringue. Flavors include You Tart (lemon cake with lemon cream cheese frosting), Maya Favorite (cinnamon-chocolate cake with chile-chocolate ganache), and Vanilla Gorilla (banana cake with vanilla cream cheese frosting). The shop, designed by Karas’s husband, architect Bill Bonstra, offers indoor and outdoor seating and baking classes for groups of as many as 12. Karas also takes custom orders and can provide cupcakes for events; delivery is in the works and expected to be available by the holidays.
