Georgetown Cupcake

[1] Growing up in Toronto, Katherine Berman and Sophie LaMontagne learned baking from their Greek grandmother.

Berman, a graduate of Marymount University and familiar with the Washington DC area, decided it would be a good place to open a cupcake shop.

Berman and LaMontagne opened the shop in Georgetown in February 2008, in a small, white-framed house on Potomac Street.

[6] The cupcakes are baked throughout the day at the shop, and use specially-sourced ingredients such as cocoa from France and vanilla from Madagascar.

[8] During winter and spring of 2010, TLC filmed a reality series at Georgetown Cupcake, shadowing the sisters, telling their story, and aspects of running a small business.
