I love mommy on dc cupcakes but what I don't love about mommy on dc cupcakes is that she is so annoying and so carefree and asking the same questions to you Sophie & Katerine every single day at the bakery.

I'm from the Philippines, and I really enjoy watching DC Cupcakes. Beside of giving me cravings to your cupcakes, what I really love from this show is the bonding between Sophie, Kathie and their Mom (Mommy), they are all so hilarious.

I agree, they're so funny. My girlfriend just got me into the show not too long ago, and I am LOVING it!

I love DC Cupcakes. I panicked when our local cable moved it around & I couldn't find it for awhile. I have the same relationship with one of my sisters as Katherine & Sophie do, but we would have killed each other the first day the Bakery opened. What I love most about DC Cupcakes is Mommy. My Mom passed away 11 years ago & I so envy their relationship with Mommy. Would she like to adopt another daughter? Thank you for producing such a wonderful fun show. ps I've almost mastered "THE SWIRL".
