I would like to begin by saying that I have never blogged, so bear with me. I recently moved to the DC area from Boston and I am having fun discovering new places to try. While I was driving to the Apple Store in Clarendon I drove by a cute little bakery called Crumbs. I remembered that my mom had a number of bakeries that she wanted to visit when she was helping us move-in so I called her to see if this was one of them – and it was. Taking her advice – and offer to pay – I went in to the bakery to see what it was all about. It was AMAZING!
There were two full display cases of ONLY cupcakes! They had so many flavors it was nearly impossible to choose! To name a few they had: Vanilla Coconut, Cookies and Cream, Raspberry Swirl, Key Lime, Cotton Candy, Grasshopper and Cappuccino. After standing there for ten minutes trying to make a decision as to which one I wanted to try (and two phone calls seeking advice) I decided to just go with the Best Seller Sampler (which had mini cupcakes of their best selling flavors) and a Lemonade — which was fresh squeezed and absolutely perfect on a hot Virginia day!
I brought the sampler home at 5PM and it was completely gone by lunch the next day. Each flavor was better than the next and nearly impossible to stop eating. I will definitely be going back soon and already know I want to try the Cappuccino cupcake! And for those who are not fortunate to live near a Crumbs, they ship!
