Crumbs Bake Shop

Crumbs Bake Shop.  If you have never been to Crumbs Bake Shop, you must put this bakery on your bucket list now!  My first encounter with Crumbs Bake Shop was around 2009.  One of my friends had bought a dozen Crumbs cupcake, and my first experience was heavenly.  I wasn't such a cupcake addict at the time, but I just remember the vanilla cupcake was just right.

A few days ago, I made a special trip to one of my favorite stores in the world--Sur La Table, located in the Americana Mall in Glendale, CA.  Crumbs Bake Shop was a few steps away from Sur La Table, and I figured why now bask in happiness. 

Sigh.  Look at the wonderful selection that they have.  My eyes immediately turned into thumping hearts.

I wasn't sure what to select because everything seemed oh-so-very-delicious.  My boyfriend suggested we eat the "Milkshake" cupcake.  Personally, I'm not a big fan of milkshakes.  Though, a milkshake cupcake sounded pretty unusual, and I wanted to give it a try.

One bite into this cupcake and was simply blown away.  The frosting was spot on!  Their frosting is to DIE for.  The vanilla cream cheese frosting wasn't "cheesy", and trust me, I had my share of "cheesy" cream cheese frostings (not a fan of "cheesy" cream cheese frosting).  It was sweet, but not too sweet to be sick of it by the end of eating the cupcake. 

The marble cake could have been easily classified as a vanilla cake.  There was not a good balance between the chocolate and vanilla batter (at least for my cupcake). 

The chocolate cookie crumb filling gave it a nice crunch while chewing the moist cake. 

Crumbs Bake Shop is by far one of my favorite bakeries because they know how to make it right! 

Until next time...
