Crumbs Bake Shop!

A few days ago I was pleasantly surprised when one of my friends brought over a HUGE cupcake like dessert for us. I immediately asked her where she found this amazing treat and was told Crumbs Bake Shop on west Madison. (303 W. Madison) The cupcake, I don't know if I can even call it that, was amazing! It was so filling and beautifully crafted, it resembled a mini cake. I would say it had the size of a muffin but the icing of a cake....AMAZING!

Half n Half Cupcake 

This particular cupcake was their Half n Half. White butter cream, topped with half vanilla cream cheese frosting mixed with chocolate chip crumbs and half chocolate fudge mixed with brownie pieces.



There is a lot of baked goods competition in Chicago and people need to know what sets the is bakery apart from Sprinkles, Bliss or Phoebe's cupcakes. I can honestly say, I have not had a cupcake like this. It tastes great on its on (and I know this, because I have left overs from the one I bought Tuesday) but it also is fabulous with ice cream- like a birthday cake. I have had tried Sprinkles and all the little cupcake boutiques in Chicago and really have found a hidden gem with Crumbs.

They offer several options: mix and match, a six pack, catering and more... Below are some of my favorite cupcakes and a few pictures of their "Colossal Cakes."

Key Lime

Try their cupcake of the month: Key Lime. Its a perfect vanilla cake filled vanilla butter cream frosted with a tart key lime cream cheese, decorated with white sprinkles around the edge! One of my personal favorites!

Red Velvet

They have the now common Red Velvet cupcake, which even tastes brand new and overwhelming in size (but in a good way!). That is the one that is in my fridge at the moment ;)


They offer a quick and easy solution to online ordering and I have taken a liking to it. Use their iPhone app to make small or large orders!

Their colossal cupcake looks like something a 1 year old would LOVE for that special birthday or even a unique sweetheart table centerpiece.

Chocolate Sundae Colossal 

Squiggle

And for what I am going back for today...the Squiggle! Its not your average chocolate cake...I have passed it twice and now know it needs be tried and its fine because its research...right?

While I can't condone eating them as much as I have since Monday, I can say the next time you are craving a sweet sin...Crumbs Bake Shop NEEDS to be at the top of your list!

If any of you try their cupcakes and love them as much as I DO! please let us know and spread the word!

Thanks again!
