Crumbs for You, Crumbs for Me


Rumored to have beaten out Sprinkles in a double-blind, triple tongue taste test, Crumbs does not disappoint. Located just down the street from Sprinkles in Beverly Hills, steer your car away from Sprinkles and towards Crumbs. It's moved to position #1 for me.

Pictured here is the fabulous Key Lime Pie cupcake, which is a CupMyCakes first. In fact, there are a lot of firsts at Crumbs, and they were all available at the time of our purchase. I can't comment on the decor because Sean made the trek over the hill for us.

CAKE: Wow. Delicious yet simple. It wasn't too dry, wasn't too moist, it was just right. The cake for the Key Lime is a basic vanilla. Did I mention these cupcakes are huge? Totally worth the $3.50 price tag. They're about a Sprinkles-and-a-half in size. It didn't fall apart when I cut it with a knife. Smooooth.

ICING: Double WOW. Very complimentary cake to icing ratio, with a very tart key lime flavor and a bright green color. There's a little more sugar in this icing than most, but it was great. I would say there was about 1/2" of icing on top.

All in all, this cupcake is more exciting, more satisfying, and most delicious.
