Ep 2. Pupcakes

In the second episode of DC Cupcakes season 1, titled "Pupcakes," sisters Sophie and Katherine are tasked with making dog-friendly cupcakes for a charity event benefitting local animal shelters. The pressure is on as they only have a few days to perfect the recipe and create 500 pupcakes.

As they brainstorm ideas for the perfect recipe, Sophie and Katherine realize they need to create something that not only tastes good to dogs but also is safe for them to eat. They consult with a veterinarian to ensure they are using dog-friendly ingredients such as whole wheat flour and carob instead of chocolate.

In addition to creating the pupcakes, Sophie and Katherine must also design and construct a cupcake stand that is appealing not only to humans but also to their furry friends. They come up with the idea of a multi-tiered stand that resembles a fire hydrant and decorate it with paw prints and bones.

As they work on the pupcakes, Sophie and Katherine's staff members struggle with keeping up with the high demand for their regular cupcakes. From running out of buttercream to nearly burning batches of cupcakes, the stress levels are high in the bakery.

Adding to the chaos, Sophie and Katherine's mother enters the bakery with her two dogs, who are quickly drawn to the pupcakes. The sisters realize they need to make changes to their recipe as the dogs are not interested in the initial flavor they had created.

Despite the challenges, Sophie and Katherine manage to create 500 perfect pupcakes and successfully debut their fire hydrant stand at the charity event. The pupcakes are a hit with both humans and dogs alike, and the sisters are proud to have contributed to a worthy cause.

Overall, "Pupcakes" is an episode that showcases the creativity and ingenuity of the Georgetown Cupcake team as they tackle a new and challenging task while still managing to keep up with their regular customer demand. It also highlights the sisters' passion for giving back to their community and their love for animals.
