Ah, happy hour. The evening rush out of work and into the nearest bar to unwind from a long, hard day's work. Nothing relaxes you like a cold, refreshing beverage at a reduced price. They also say it's great hunting grounds for singles.

A tiny Baltimore venue understands the importance of happy hour, luring in a slew of hard working professionals. That venue would be the Baltimore Cupcake Company, introducing a new type of happy hour: Cupcake Happy Hour, for those who would rather not wake up with a hangover.

Mondays through Thursdays starting at 5:30 p.m., the whimsical dessert shop gives customers a half hour window to indulge in whatever is left from the day's baking- all at a reduced price of course. For just $1 a cupcake, you can afford to buy that cutie in the corner that you've been eyeing a cupcake or two.

The extensively creative menu is as enticing as that of a lengthy cocktail menu with flavors like Island Citrus, Chocolate Framboise, Chocolate Truffle or Noix de Coco. This clever menu practically hands you conversation starters. Stop in to unwind after work tomorrow and let the happy hour hunting begin.

The Baltimore Cupcake Company is located at 1433 East Fort Ave., Baltimore, MD or 17912 Georgia Ave., Olney, MD.
