As far as I’m concerned, the search is over.
Done. Complete. Finished.
Crumbs in Beverly Hills has the absolute best cupcake I’ve had to date – and now that I think of it, possibly ever. Oversized and loaded with goodies, the cake is dense, yet moist. I’ve complained many times about sugary frosting and how much it takes away from the flavor of the cake, and even though each cake was loaded, it felt decadent - not overdone.
The online menu doesn’t do the shop justice, and there are many more flavors available in store. We sampled a phenomenal classic white buttercream, which was simple but expertly baked. We also tried spice, coconut and even one that tasted like a jelly doughnut! Several of the cupcakes come stuffed with frosting and the blackout cupcake may present a challenge for those battling chocoholism. Keep an eye out for the one topped with Snickers pieces.
Go. Go now. The shop is open till 10pm every night – 11pm on Fridays and Saturdays! Cupcakes range in price from $2.95 for the simple ones, to $3.50 for the more extravagant. Seriously, you should go – now.

You’ve got my sweet tooth radar up! Nice to hear that there’s more than just “Sprinkles” out there making our childhood favorite dessert.
