Crumbs Bakery

I never understood the cupcake craze that hit the United States a few years ago. Maybe it is the yearning to be young again and eat the foods of our childhood that make us go crazy for cupcakes. Or it could be the creative genius of a select few to create a whole different market of baked goods. We will never truly know where our passion for cupcakes has come from, but I understand why it has stuck. The cupcake craze has stuck on because in the end, cupcakes are delicious. Our yearning for cupcakes has resulted in the emergence of cupcake exclusive bakeries across the country. One of the most well known cupcake exclusive bakeries is Crumbs. Crumbs got its start in Manhattan in 2003 and has spread like wildfire throughout New York, and the rest of the East Coast. There are even Crumbs locations in Chicago and Los Angeles. While Crumbs does offer a simple vanilla cupcake, they tend to focus more on their multitude of specialty flavors of cupcakes. Some of these specialty flavors include a s'mores cupcake, a birthday funfetti cupcake, a red velvet cupcake, a carrot cake cupcake, and a variety of cupcakes that were inspired by Girl Scout Cookies. Crumbs cupcakes are larger than your normal cupcake and are not just a snack, they are a meal. They are huge compared to the smaller cupcakes of our childhood. Their massive size does not compromise for flavor. Crumbs cupcakes are sugary delights that are sure to please even the most stubborn of taste buds. The one thing I will suggest you do if you are yearning to try a Crumbs cupcake is to go when the cupcakes are fresh. There is nothing worse than spending your hard earned money on a stale cupcake. If the cupcakes are not fresh that day, please go back when they are because it makes a huge difference. For cupcake heaven, go to Crumbs.
