Even though we’ve fully committed to hopping off the cupcake bandwagon, there’s no reason we can’t let you know where to get a free one on a rainy day. Beginning at 10 a.m. this morning, Georgetown Cupcake will be handing out free cupcakes to celebrate tonight’s second-season premier of “DC Cupcakes,” the reality show which strains itself to painstakingly document the day-to-day of a cupcake shop as dramatically as humanly possible. Customers at both the Georgetown (3301 M Street NW) and Bethesda (4834 Bethesda Avenue) outposts can claim their free treat until 9 p.m. today.

Of course, it’s not just a celebratory move: Georgetown is surely trying to get a leg up on its newest competitor, Sprinkles Cupcakes, which will open its Georgetown location at the beginning of March. Sprinkles will also be giving away free cupcakes from their — wait for it — Sprinklesmobile van, beginning on Monday and running through March 12. An extended period of mobile free cupcakes? Your move, Georgetown.
