My birthday two days ago, and cupcakes are literally one of my favorite desserts. I love cupcakes from Betty Crocker to Crumbs, my favorite cupcake shop. I cannot walk by Bryant Park in New York City or past the kiosk in Union Station in Washington, D.C., without stopping to purchase a Crumbs cupcake. I first went to Crumbs Bake Shop a few years ago, and that changed my entire cupcake world. I went to Magnolia Bakery the same day, and Crumbs won the best cupcake competition hands down.
Crumbs cupcakes are huge, moist, and absolutely delicious. The decorations are not too fancy, but are still reflective of flavor and tasty looking. My favorite Crumbs flavor is the vanilla/chocolate sprinkle, but s’mores, grasshopper, and cookie dough are also excellent, to name a few. I also love how Crumbs sells a little sample pack, with a dozen mini cupcakes in different flavors, so you can try a little bit of everything, if you aren’t in the mood for a gigantic cupcake. For my 18th birthday, I even ordered Crumbs online and had them shipped for my party instead of having a cake (unfortunately, there is no Crumbs Bake Shop in my home state…sigh). The best part about Crumbs is that there is no huge 30-minute wait line to get into the shops (Georgetown Cupcake, anyone…?)
