Crummy

Hi all,
I'm sorry I know have been slacking lately. Even with all the craziness going on for the past month, I should have still been able to take 10 minutes of my time to update the site. I feel horrible and I am sincerely sorry. Now with that in the open we can get straight into business...
Back in the beginning of February, my roommate, Nancy and I met up with our dear friends Marcel and Eric to try out some new cupcakes. That particular day was freezing cold outside and we all ended up on a journey to find Crumbs Bakery. Crumbs Bakery is a new cupcake spot located on 303 W Madison St. Luckily we all happened to bump into each other on the street while searching for the bakery. It was almost seemed impossible to find, especially due to the ice cold weather. Eventually we found the small shop which was located a few stores away from The Cupcake Counter, another cupcake bakery.
When we got inside we were in awe by the fabulously decorated cupcakes. The cupcakes came in "signature" size, which was a little above average, and then "colossal" which was a huge cupcake cake.

Sprinkles Cupcakes!!!

What is new and has dots all over? ...Sprinkles Cupcakes! Yupp... that's right, I finally had a chance to check out the talk of the town's famous cupcake place! Unfortunately, our other 'Krazy for Kupcake's' girl Melanie couldn't come with me, but a few of my good friends (Sarah & Karen) volunteered to share this wonderful experience with me! Here's a video of what went down: Enjoy!

As you can see, I bought four cupcakes: Strawberry, Cherry, Key Lime & Dark Chocolate. The two flavors Cherry & Key Lime are their summer flavors, which they stop selling on August 1, so I had to get them before they were gone! Each cupcake costed $3.25.

I was pretty excited to go scope out the new cupcake place! I was pretty upset that Melanie couldn't join me in my trip because we've been LITERALLY counting down the days until Sprinkles came to town. It opened last Monday, the 26th of July. And when we visited the line was REALLY long. We waited in line almost for an HOUR. Luckily we made it in time before it closed (at 7 PM). But anyway, once we got inside, the place looked really colorful and very modern. They had a glass window for a display of each cupcake flavor, kind of like More's Cupcakes.

What I thought of the cupcakes? Well, they were of course good. Each cupcake was very moist, just the way I like it and the frosting was very smooth and definitely gave the cupcake more flavor. My favorite cupcake out of the four I chose was definitely the cherry! Awe, too bad it's not going to be there anymore... But at least I had a chance to try it! The key lime was my second favorite, those two I would have to say had the most flavor. The dark chocolate was a tad bit TOO sweet for me and the strawberry wasn't the best. Each cupcake was topped with a sugary dot candy for their signature. Also they put a different dotted color on each cupcake to represent the flavor.

Overall, the place was pretty good. I'm not going to lie, I still think Molly's Cupcakes are the best so far. Sprinkles is up there, BUT they aren't as creative as Molly's. Sprinkles cupcakes kind of taste like Sugar Bliss Bakery off of Wabash Ave. Both places have the same tastes/textures in their cupcake and frosting. I still thought it was delicious, and I would definitely go again! Like Sarah said, the staff was super super friendly too!

But yeah, now that I've had a chance to try Sprinkles... time to hunt down FLIRTY's CUPCAKES!!!!!!!

Until next time...

ENJOY :) Tune in tonight - MOLLY'S CUPCAKES ARE ON CUPCAKE WARS!!!!

Love you :)
