1. Aquarius (January 20 – February 18): Red Velvet

Red Velvet is one of the most scrumptious of GT Cupcake flavors! Some of the primal traits of an Aquarius are independance, progressiveness, and originality, and the red velvet cupcake, with its savory vanilla cream cheese frosting, is all of that and more! And who doesn’t love those little fondant hearts?

2. Pisces (February 19 – March 20): Chocolate Ganache

Winter is a whirlwind of a season, and the end of February always gets the worst of it. That’s why you Pisces deserve one of the most succulent of Georgetown cupcakes: the chocolate ganache. Pisces are known for being wise and gentle hearted people, and that deliciously thin layer of Callebaut chocolate ganache icing is the perfect representation. Yummm-myyy!

3. Aries (March 21 – April 19): Strawberry-Lava Fudge

When April comes around, dreams of spring are quick to follow! Trust us when we tell you, this little cupcake packs a punch of flavor, despite the fact that it’s gluten free. Aries are confident, courageous, and enthusiastic, much like we are about that scrumptious strawberry frosting! And who can beat the adorable little orange flower and chocolate lava drizzle? Delicious!

4. Taurus (April 20 – May 20): Carrot Cake

When you’re a Taurus, you’re patient, reliable, dependable, and practical; much like the apple-cinnamony deliciousness of the GT’s carrot cupcakes! Not only is this cupcake topped with their signature vanilla cream cheese frosting, but it doesn’t contain any raisins or nuts; thank goodness! Because that’s the thing about a Taurus, they certainly don’t need anything extra. They’re perfect just the way they are!

5. Gemini (May 21 – June 20): Coconut Cupcake

If you’re a Gemini, odds are you’re gentle, curious, and affectionate. So what better way to portray that than through a light and fluffy coconut cupcake? Georgetown’s classic vanilla cupcake is topped with its signature vanilla cream cheese frosting and a mound of feathery shredded coconut, and let me tell you, it is a #blessing!

6. Cancer (June 21 – July 22): Lemon Blossom

Were you expecting a crab cake (haha)? Well, sorry to disappoint, but the perfect cupcake for all of you tenacious, imaginative, and slightly moody Cancers is the lemon blossom cupcake. These little dollops of deliciousness are smothered in a rich lemon cream cheese frosting, and topped with a beautiful candied lemon! Who could ever ask for more?

7. Leo (July 23 – August 22): Peanut Butter Twist

There really is nothing like the fudgy, peanut buttery, blob of scrumptiousness that is GT’s peanut butter twist! What better flavor cupcake could there be to warm the heart of a cheerful, passionate Leo? Not only are these cupcakes lovely to look at, but they are super rich and packed with flavor, which relates to the Leo’s fiery personality wonderfully.

 

8. Virgo (August 23 – September 22): Cookies & Cream

As a Virgo, your friends might describe you as kind, loyal, and hardworking, and that you deserve a cookie – so here you go! Georgetown’s thick and creamy Cookies & Cream cupcakes are some of the most sought after of delicacies to have graced the planet. They are a cupcake that a Virgo deserves!

9. Libra (September 23 – October 22): Toffee Crunch

For those of you gracious and fair-minded type folk, the toffee crunch cupcake is just for you! You haven’t lived until you’ve bit into this luscious bit of heaven, especially if you’re someone who appreciates the beauty in life like a Libra. The toffee infused vanilla frosting is a great representation of balance, and that classic toffee crunch adds that little “oomph” that only a Libra can truly appreciate!

10. (Scorpio October 23 – November 21): Apple Cinnamon

The apple cinnamon GT Cupcake perfectly matches that mix of sweetness and spice embraced by Scorpios everywhere! Known for being brave, passionate, and friendly, Scorpios are some of the most real, “lay down the law” kinds of people. What could represent that more perfectly than the soft and flavorful Apple Cinnamon Cupcake?

11. Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21): Salted Caramel

Let’s be honest, us Sagittarius type of people aren’t really known for being soft and sweet. We’re the saltiest of signs, but that doesn’t mean we aren’t generous! Much like how the Salted Caramel Cupcake is generous in delicious flavor.This is one of GT’s most EXTRA cupcakes, because not only is it salty and sweet, it is smothered in salted caramel infused buttercream frosting, and topped with an adorable caramel drizzle! What could get more Sagittarius than that?

12. Capricorn (December 22 – January 19): Mint Cookies & Cream

Capricorns were born in some of the frostiest of months.. So naturally, their personality matches that of the Mint Cookies & Cream cupcake! As strong as their self-control tends to be, not even a Capricorn could resist the creamy scrumptiousness that is the MC&C cupcake, a moist madagascar vanilla cake with crunchy oreo bits, topped with mint oreo crumble-infused buttercream frosting! Sounds delectable, yes?

For those of you lovely ladies and gents looking for something fun and exciting to do this weekend, why not head on down to Georgetown yourself to sample your very own GT cupcake? Or, of course, you could just wait for HCE’s next event… As always, make sure to snap some pics of yourself indulging on one of these delectable treats and tag us on instagram with the hashtag #HCEsignsofspring! Happy eating!
