Midnite Confections

Easily one of my favorite DC cupcake trucks! That means a lot coming from a cupcake fiend! There’s plenty of cupcake trucks in DC so what makes Midnite Confections different? They let you mix and match cake bases with frosting flavors so there are endless possibilities! There’s always at least 5 – 6 cake flavors and frostings to choose from. After you pick your cake base, they hand-​pipe the cupcakes right in front of your eyes. It may sound insignificant but the excitement of watching them personalize your cupcake with your choice of frosting makes my cupcake-​filled heart flutter! Service is always friendly and the cupcakes are always delicious, no matter what cupcake/​frosting concoction you pick! Highly recommended :)

I’m not even a huge fan of cupcakes, but these are SO GOOD. Our whole office is nuts over these cupcakes. I’ve never been to the store in Baltimore, but their truck visits Farragut Square once a week. Usually I request half the icing because the cakes are outstanding all on their own.

I’ve tasted a lot of cupcakes in my time. I saw this truck on my last day in DC and stopped by to grab a dozen for some friends (to share, of course).
I wasn’t sure what to expect. They kept the cupcakes in bins, pulled them out, and frosted them made to order. Brilliant! In case you have a hard time choosing, like me, they have flavors to choose from or you can match any cake with any frosting.
Did I mention that when I came by it was buy 2, get 1? I told the server to get ready because I may buy them all. I was joking but the customers behind me in line were not amused.
The cakes were sturdy but moist inside. I found myself questioning how such sorcery was possible. The frosting was just the right amount of sweet without being clawingly so. The black velvet cupcake with cream cheese frosting is pure evil. My friends cursed me repeatedly for showering them with such decadence. The salted caramel butter cream drizzled with MORE salted caramel is luscious.
Midnite makes cupcakes dreams are made of. I’m lucky to live so far away since my waistline wouldn’t be able to manage it.

I’m all about customization so I really love that you can mix and match cakes and frostings. Had the Cinnabon cupcake with chocolate frosting. Really moist, fluffy, and had all the right, subtle flavors. Not overly sweet either. $ 3 per cupcake is standard. Baked and wired still wins all but I like this place better than Georgetown Cupcakes.

The cupcakes here are really good. I and my coworkers all enjoyed them greatly. I was skeptical because even though I LOVE cupcakes and baked goods in general, this cupcake craze is a bit ridiculous. I’ve tried many cupcakes though G’town, Baked and Wired, Hello, Crumbs, Red Velvet, Sweet Lobby and many of the trucks such as Curbside and such. This truck was one of the better ones I’ve tasted.
These cupcakes were moist, the frosting was not too sweet, and overall the size was a good size cupcake. A bit pricey at $ 3 per cupcake though; however, that does seem to be the going rate for such things. I got the Vanilla Almond (which was confetti cake, DELICIOUS!) with vanilla almond frosting, chocolate on chocolate, black velvet with salted caramel frosting, sinabon with chocolate, and midnite with cream cheese frosting. All of them were hits with the group I was with. I would definitely return to this truck and try the actual store in Baltimore.

Loved my oatmeal cookie cup (tasted just like an oatmeal cookie!!) and requested extra frosting and the guy piled it on! Will return to this truck next time it’s in my area!

Best cupcake in DC. Moist cake, flavorful icing. I’ve tried Georgetown, Sprinkles, Crumbs, Baked & Wired and others. This is the best. (Baked & Wired is just as moist, but it’s tough to get a flavor profile from their cupcakes because the cake/​icing is just too sweet.) Mondays at Farragut. $ 3 per cupcake, $ 16 per ½ dozen.

Oh, Farragut Square,

Another sweet food truck option, while I enjoy a good steak sandwich from the back of the truck I much prefer something sweet from the back of the truck.
I like how you can mix and match your frosting with your cupcake flavor, while I went ultra unoriginal with vanilla on vanilla, it is nice to see you have a variety of options.
I was mixed on the cupcake overall, while the icing was much too sweet to my liking but the cupcake itself was nicely made, great flavor, nice density, fluffy and almost perfect.
Overall nice cupcake and I could see myself returning in the future.

Apparently this is a pretty famous brick and mortar in Baltimore, but I had no idea when I tried it. I was in Farragut Square killing time before an interview, saw the truck, and thought, «Ooh, cupcakes!» because those are the sort of deep intellectual thoughts I have going into job interviews. I’ve now been back a couple of times, because the cupcakes are delicious. They ice them to order, which means you can mix and match cake and icing flavors, though they also have some recommended combinations. They won me over with their seasonal cupcake, the pumpkin cake with cream cheese frosting. The cake was light and moist, the frosting not overly sweet, and just overall excellent. Since then, I’ve had the midnite (cream cheese and chocolate chips baked into the inside of the cupcake!!!) and the full moon, because who doesn’t love bourbon vanilla. It’s a good thing I don’t find myself downtown more often, because I’m sure I’d have gained a few pounds by now!
