I first went to
Crumb's bakeshop when they had but one outpost on the upper west side. I had heard of the great variety:

But I can't really capture it in even two pictures:

And they come out with more flavors all the time!
Mom was visiting recently, and we selected an Elvis cupcake and a Pistachio cupcake:

and did I mention they're filled? mmmmm...

Have you tried Buttercup? That's probably my favorite cupcake place in NY. Crumbs cupcakes are so big!! Though it is difficult to find that perfect icing-cake balance. Here are some other suggestions: http://www.undomesticgoddess.com/2009/07/new-yorks-cupcake-culture.html
ReplyDeleteYou may hate me for saying so, but I am not a fan of buttercup at ALL. Magnolia is on my no-go cupcake list, too. The thing about Magnolia and Buttercup is that the cake tends to be a little dry, and the frosting far too sweet for me. I know the cupcakes at crumbs are HUGE, but I certainly don't mind saving half for the next day...
