It's been a little slower than normal in the free food department this summer. Perhaps the tight economy is to blame? Luckily, the folks at Tangysweet are opening up another Red Velvet Cupcakery at their DuPont Circle location. To celebrate, they will be giving out free red velvet mini-cupcakes starting at noon on Friday until closing, which is 1 a.m. on Fridays. The cupcake recipes were developed by pastry chef David Guas, known for his work at the Passion Food group of restaurants.

I guess we were overdue for another 'pocalypse of some sorts. The four horsemen - Butter, Chocolate, Sugar, and Sprinkles - are riding.
because we cant buy a $1 box and make them at home? geez.
Does this mean I can have your free cupcake?
Box cake is not the same as these delicious cupcakes.
However, any cake that comes in a box is far superior to Cakelove. Yes, even urinal cake.
its not the same but come on, you could even make them from scratch and mimick what you buy in the store.
yes, I could. Well, I'm more of a cook than a baker, so who knows. But these would be effortless and...free!
Sarah Palin can see the overweight, pasty-faced men-children queueing from her house.
OhEmGee! Cupcakes are so awesome. They like remind me of my childhood n' junk.
Can we get over this hipster obsession with cupcakes? Besides, shouldn't we be focusing on frozen treats since this is SUMMER?
How about this? Why can't DCist do a story on the best places to get custard in this town? Some of us won't be making it to the Boardwalk this year to get our fix.
There's a hipster obsession with cupcakes? Really? This always struck me as more of a yuppie trend than anything else.
I never understood the appeal of cupcakes as a child, and I still don't understand their appeal. Just give me a freaking slice of cake - you get a more appropriate cake-to-icing ratio with a traditional slice, you don't have to get your hands messy, and you generally get more bang for your buck.
Anyway, I digress, free mini cupcakes, y'all.
How about where to get Hawaiian shaved ice? I'm not talking about wooter ice from Rita's, I want real shaved ice. I'd much prefer eating that to a cupcake on a hot summer day.
mmmm, shaved Polenysians...wait, what are we talking about again?
Not to be a stickler or anything, but the real Hawaiian stuff is shave ice, not shaved ice. ;)
Don't hate, appreciate!
Jeez, it's free food, don't get all picky.
If you like it, great, get your free stuff. If not, don't go, it's pretty simple.
For custard, go to The Dairy Godmother in Alexandria.

Be prepared for a wait though.
Cupcakes were probably "hipster" pre-Sex and the City - only in the right part of the Lower East Side or Brooklyn, of course (they used to be "hipster" too), or POrtland. Now cupcakes are more for soccer mom's (who still think the term cougar is sooooo cool and might apply to their fat asses) and kickballers.
You couldn't be more wrong. Mommy jeans have always been SOOO f**king hot. The only thing hotter is bib overalls covered with sour milk vomit.
Exhibit A.
Seriously, free cake on a hot day is about as appealing as sweaty feet.
I will reserve judgement on this issue until I see photographs of these sweaty feet.
Also, the only cake worth eating can be found at cakefart dot com.
People must be pretty unhappy on this Sunny Thursday that the cupcake haters come and get all in a tizzy about free cupcakes. First: WTF Second: Their Free. Third: go use you hateraid on something else like your spouse or your boss.
Junkpunches were always free at Junkpunchers: An American Brasserie, and look what happened to them.
I am officially offering to take all the free cupcakes from the haters who don't want them. I'm going to put the cupcakes side by side on the ground and just roll around in them, naked. And then I'll get a big government grant for my awesome performance art piece.
Or I'll just eat them all. Whatever.
Hey I didn't say I wouldn't eat my cupcake.
Today is also National Chili Dog Day at Hard Times Cafe. One free Coney Chili Dog with any purchase. http://www.hardtimes.com/
While a free cupcake is a free cupcake - this is how I feel about these couture cupcakerys:

Oh - and this is how I feel about the new and associated fancy froyo - http://whereisyourtowel.blogspot.com/
Aaaaacccckk! My wonderful, wonderful boss just told me he's leaving next month so I could use a few hundred of those cupcakes right about now.
Did he tell you that I'm your new boss? Definitely not the same as the old boss - trying to get ahead will take on an entirely new meaning.
Don't get ahead of yourself, Pirate. Just get in line and strip.
Make sure you have a fresh mattress in the pickup, Liz. Remember what happened last time?
Is this going to be happening at JUST the Dupont location - or are us lucky workers in the Chinatown area going to be a hop, skip, and a jump away from free mini-cupcakes as well?
They're just cupcakes. You're paying how much for them? No wonder the people who run one of those places have a Range Rover.
