My little sister brought me home a Crumbs cupcake the other day and boy, was it delicious! It wasn’t my first Crumbs cupcake and it definitely won’t be my last. Living in LA, I am spoiled to have so many cupcake shops around me. The two most popular ones are Sprinkles and Crumbs.. which are also basically right next to each other! Talk about a rivalry.
This one was a chocolate cupcake with a slightly mint buttercream frosting, dipped with mini chocolate chips and dotted with a dollup of vanilla buttercream. There was also a chocolate fudge-like filling inside (which I failed to capture.. bust). As always, Crumbs never fails. In my opinion, out of all the cupcakes that I’ve tried at both Sprinkles and Crumbs, Crumbs reigns supreme. Their cake is pleasantly moist and the frosting is just right. The cake at Sprinkles is never quite moist enough for me and the frosting is just off…. but that’s my opinion. For those that don’t have a Sprinkles or Crumbs by them, you can always buy the Sprinkles cupcake mix and make it at home. I think that the mix you make yourself actually tastes better than the actual cupcake you buy. Crazy, right? Especially the red velvet! It’s probably because I prefer using my favorite cream cheese frosting recipe to top off the cupcake, which makes it THAT much better.

I loooove Crumbs! I tell everyone about it because I think it’s way better than Sprinkles. Great picture!
To those in the SF Bay Area:
Miette in SF is a great bakery, as is Teacake Bake Shop imo.
🙂 Google for their website & enjoy.
YUM!! im so gonna try one of these cupcake shops when i go to the US this summer! singapore, where I live, has ZERO cupcake shops. ):
You should try CBS Cupcakes (not affiliated with the tv station) at the Glendale Galleria!
They don’t have as many choices as Crumbs & Sprinkles but you get to design your very own! Get the red velvet if you go, it’s THE BEST.
