How Long Would You Wait???

Yesterday I went to DC to wonder around, see the cherry blossoms and just get away from the small town atmosphere. While in Georgetown there was a line around a building...for cupcakes. Georgetown Cupcake has 2 bakeries, in Georgetown and Bethesda. The line for a cupcake wrapped around the bakery and in front of the door to the restaurant next door. The people in the line say yes the cupcakes are worth the 45 minute or more wait to get a couple cupcakes. Why not find out how good a 45 minute cupcake is? So we waited in line. While in line you would hear people in taxi's stuck in traffic and others walking by saying things like "I would never wait that long for a cupcake."

Cupcake flavors- Everyday= Chocolate, Chocolate (yes 2 different styles with chocolate), red velvet, vanilla, choc and vanilla, vanilla and chocolate
On Saturdays- Chocolate ganache, coconut, chocolate coconut, lemon berry, and mocha
Seasonally this time they had- salted caramel, cookies and cream, and Irish cream
Price= 1 at $2.75, 6 for $15 and 12 for $29

After waiting for 45 minutes we decided lets just get the full dozen and try all but the coconut ones. How good is a cupcake that requires over a 45 minute wait to get one? DELICIOUS, WOW it is an amazing cupcake.

After the wait I learned that if you call ahead the next day with your cupcake order they will box them for you ahead of time and you can avoid the long line. But if I do an impromptu trip down in the Georgetown area I will probably wait in line again for a Georgetown Cupcake.

Unfortunately many people afraid of missing out on something would not wait in a line for a cupcake, but in reality miss out on delicious food.

Many times I've heard people say things like the food takes so long to make, but tastes so good. There is an ART to food that sometimes requires a wait, you have to decide do you want quick shitty food or are you willing to wait for something amazing.
