David and I have been working hard to look our best for our wedding, which is exactly one month from today! We both have been hitting the gym every day and have changed our diets. This past weekend, we steered off course and treated ourselves to a well-deserved dessert. He often calls me the sweet tooth monster; I truly believe I could survive off baked goods for the rest of my life, so you could imagine my excitement for our treat! Being the sweet tooth monster I am I have completely fallen into the cupcake craze that has hit America. So, I insisted we try Crumbs, a cupcake bakery that began in Manhattan and is now bi-coastal. I’ve been to a few cupcake bakeries before, and the one thing I instantly noticed when I walked into Crumbs were the generous portions (larger cupcakes than most) and they had a much larger variety of flavors readily available.
The case was pretty much like the holy grail of cupcakes, my head was spinning trying to decide on which flavor to get. Another customer admiring the case mentioned how delicious “Cherry Blossom” was. I have to admit, it probably wouldn’t have been the first flavor I would have picked, but once the employee told us that 15% of the proceeds would be donated to the Red Cross towards the Japan Earthquake and Pacific Tsunami Fund I had to buy it! It was delicious, and ended up being David’s favorite of all the flavors we got. The cupcake is a delicious vanilla cake filled with cherry preserves and the frosting was a sweet, not over powering, vanilla cherry cream cheese.
Unfortunately, this cupcake of the month was only featured until April 10. Since they aren’t available anymore, what’s the moral of the story you may ask? Why not purchase something because it may help a great cause? Even if it’s not your number one brand or flavor, you may be pleasantly surprised! I’m going to make more of an effort to keep my eye out to purchase more goods from socially conscious companies, and I hope you would do the same.
