Baked & Wired

Last updated

Baked & Wired is a bakery and coffeehouse in the Georgetown neighborhood of Washington, D.C. [1] It was opened in 2001 by Teresa Velazquez (co-owned with her husband Tony Velazquez) and specializes in baking cupcakes but also offers a wider range of other baked goods including cookies, quiches and brownies. [2] Velazquez did not intend to open a cupcake shop, but the demand for the baked good eclipsed the other offerings. [3]

Many locals consider Baked & Wired more of an "insider" choice, especially for those who live in Georgetown, whereas Georgetown Cupcake is more of a tourist phenomenon. [4]

A Baked Joint

In 2015, the Valazquezs opened A Baked Joint in the Mount Vernon Triangle neighborhood, without their cupcakes but with coffee and "intriguing homemade breads", according to Lori McCue in The Washington Post . [5]
