Anyway, I'd heard of Crumbs but I'd not paid much attention until last week when I was sort of watching, ahem, Beverly Hills 90210 (though I think as part of the renovation to make it cooler and more relevant, it's been renamed just 90210, I'm not sure). In all honesty, I don't watch this show regularly. It was on as background noise while I stalked people on Facebook last week. Honestly.
In any case, there I was stalking away with the t.v. on in the background when I hear one of "my" little known bands, Blind Pilot, playing on the television. I have crazy music hearing abilities, as I've mentioned in another post-- I'm hyper aware of music being played anywhere, anytime. Especially artists I know that no one else seems to have heard of, so of course, my little ears perked up and I turned to see what was going on. There, on the screen were three very skinny girls seated outside of Crumbs enjoying some cupcakes, except I don't really think they showed them take a bite (though I could be wrong). After clapping giddily at the fact that Blind Pilot was actually being played as background music on t.v. (even if it was that show), I googled Crumbs and proceeded to drool for a good ten minutes after adding it to my list.
If you're reading this, Google it! Or, click on the link above! Tell me those cupcakes don't look ridiculously delicious. I was all about the Caramel Apple Cupcake. For about a week, I'd been salivating, dreaming and talking about that damn apple caramel cupcake. I could not stop my mouth from watering every time I talked about it and it sped Crumbs to the top of the list of places to try.
So, Sunday, there I was standing in the store at the Americana in Glendale, giddily staring at the display case where three Caramel Apple Cupcakes sat flirting with me. Only, we'd just eaten dinner and I needed to walk some of it off, so we left the store. We left the store! My friend actually mentioned that they might run out and I said, nah, it'll be fine, we won't be too long. I'm not making this up. Any of it.
On the way out of Barnes & Noble where we'd wandered to "walk it off", I see a guy walking with a clear plastic container full of cupcakes in hand, one of which is Caramel Apple, and I start to panic. I practically run back to the store where to my relief there is one Caramel Apple Cupcake left. There are two people in line in front of me. And yes, you guessed it, the person at the counter took the last one. I honestly almost cried. I actually contemplated trying to talk him into switching it for something else. And, most embarrassingly, I almost decided to throw a hissy fit and just leave because, why would they not have more cupcakes in the back, when there were still three hours until closing time?! How could they possibly not make enough to last the day? I was so pissed.
Of course, we didn't leave. There were three of us and we each got a different one so we could try as many as possible. We got Boston Cream Pie, Chocolate Pecan and Half Baked. Despite being ridiculously sweet and rich- especially the half baked, they were as good as you'd expect them to be for almost $4 a pop. I can only imagine (quite literally) how good my caramel apple would have tasted!

I will be back, Crumbs. And you better not be out of Caramel Apple cupcakes or I will throw a full fledged tantrum right there in the middle of the store- and nobody wants to see that- least of all me!
