We've made it! After nearly a month of voting through 32 Washington-area cupcake spots, we're at the finals. Who are the top two cupcake contenders? Bakeshop in Clarendon and Georgetown Cupcake in Georgetown and Bethesda. Congratulations, you two! 

Now, it's onto the voting. We're going to keep the polls open for a full week—until Wednesday, March 31—so as many people as possible have the chance to vote.

The March madness continues—and it's very sweet and very frosted. Here's the second face-off from the Final Four of our cupcake competition. A reminder: The two cupcake match ups will go until 10 AM (Georgetown Cupcake vs. Curbside) and 2 PM (Bakeshop vs. Something Sweet) tomorrow. Then we'll leave the voting for the final face-off open until next week so you have plenty of time to tell all of your friends to vote for the best cupcake in Washington.

It was a super close call until the very end, but it looks like Bakeshop has edged out the granddaddy of all cupcake spots, CakeLove, and is moving on to the Frosted Four, along with Curbside Cupcakes, Georgetown Cupcake, and the to-be-determined winner of Something Sweet vs. Buzz, which will be open for voting until 2 PM today.

We're going to take a bit of a break from the Cupcake Cup over the weekend, and then get the voted started again come Monday morning on the final four. Until then, enjoy your lovely weekends (go out and try a cupcake, perhaps?) and we'll have more Cupcake Cup fun for you next week. 

Ready for another cupcake fix? Let's recap where we stand: Looks like Georgetown Cupcake beat Best Buns by a landslide, and the votes are rolling in for the CakeLove vs. Bakeshop match-up. Be sure to head over there and cast a vote; the poll closes tomorrow at 10 AM!

Now, on to this afternoon's face-off . . .

Yesterday's showdown between Curbside Cupcakes and Cupcakes Actually ended in a photo finish—the cupcakeries were tied with minutes left in the vote!—but Curbside came out on top. And don't forget that there are still a few hours left to get your votes in for the Georgetown Cupcake and Best Buns face-off. That poll will close at 2. Good luck to our contenders!
