Crumbs Bake Shop
American Fare

How can one not walk out of Crumbs Bake Shop with a smile? This wonderful bakery serves delicious sweets of all kinds, with a specialty in the field of cupcakes.

Their cupcakes are bigger than two of my fists, put together! For the price of $2.50-4.50, a bounty of flavors is offered, from strawberries to chocolate, vanilla to raspberry, coconut to tiramisu. I stood in front of the display window for a good fifteen minutes before deciding on a Cappuccino cupcake ($3.75) and a souvenir bag of six black-and-white cookies ($10). And what a tasty cupcake choice I made! The Cappuccino cupcake was layered with a thick and delicious frosting and dusted with fine, fragrant espresso powder. I peeled the massive cupcake open to find the frosting was also used as a filling inside the cake itself. Before I knew it, I devoured the entire cake, and then did I realize I had no model to photograph, silly me. The cupcake was really delicious, and I especially liked that it was not too rich or too sweet. It was perfect.

The black-and-white cookie was also delicious. Very light and very soft, the texture is one of a very light pancake, and the two-toned icing that gives this cookie its name is sweet without an overpowering nature, though the chocolate flavor is much more intense than the vanilla. I've heard mixed opinions about certain flavors, such as red velvet and brownies, so I highly recommend getting the Cappuccino flavor to be on the safe side. The Black-and-White cookie is also worth a try.
