1. Every cupcake is only around 250 calories, which makes Georgetown Cupcake a much healthier alternative to competitors such as Sprinkles and Gigi’s, whose cupcakes average 500-600 calories each.
2. Georgetown Cupcake offers one free, off-the-menu cupcake per day to the first 100 customers who request it. All you have to do is check Georgetown Cupcake’s Facebook/Twitter to find out the “secret” flavor of the day and redeem it through your cashier.
