Skip the Cupcakes, Go for the other Goodies and the Coffee - In cupcake-crazed NYC, Crumbs cupcake claim to fame is the creative toppings it sprinkles on top of the cupcakes and the creative cupcake combos, such as a Cosmo cupcake- raspberry cake with lime cream cheese icing and pink crystal sugar around the rim of the cupcake. Crumbs cupcakes are more generously sized than your average Magnolia/Sugar Sweet Sunshine/Billy's/Buttercup cupcake, but the generous portions and creativity are Crumbs' only strong points. The flavor of the cupcakes seems to fall flat and the size seems to take away from the preciousness. Those who enjoy the gimmicky variety of toppings may think differently, but true cupcake aficionados will find that these cupcakes look better than they taste. Friendly service, however, and tasty coffee and baked goods of other varieties, including Russian coffee cake and rainbow cookies, make this a place to keep on your UES bakery list.
