Apple Cobbler Cupcake - Crumbs Bakery : Cherry Hill, NJ

Apple Cobbler Cupcake - Crumbs Bakery : Cherry Hill,  NJ

This is the last Crumbs Bake Shop cupcake review!
I bought…

• Banana Cream Pie (Limited Edition) REVIEWEDVanilla cake filled with banana custard topped with vanilla buttercream and a dollup of banana custard. *Available in stores 8/1-8/14.
• Apple Cobbler
  Apple cinnamon cake with apple preserves filling topped with vanilla cream cheese frosting and covered in streusel crumbs.
• Cookie Dough REVIEWED
  Vanilla cake with chocolate fudge filling covered in vanilla cream cheese frosting mixed with soft chocolate chip cookie pieces and topped with a chocolate chip cookie.

(This cupcake is the same size as the disappointing banana cream pie one.)

I blame this flavor for my current cupcake disappointments. It was this cupcake that made me take a chance on this bake shop in the first place. Unlike the others, I actually got to try it before I bought it. (Does that count as cheating?) The employees were handing out samples of this flavor and it was yummy enough that I took a chance and ordered three full sized cupcakes.

What a disappointment. So far none of these treats have been worth the hefty price tag. (Although the cookie dough’s icing was delicious.) At least I know the sample version of this cupcake was pretty yummy, the big cupcake has to taste the same, right?

Let’s get started…

Cookie Dough (Classic sized) Cupcake - Crumbs Bakery : Cherry Hill,  NJ

Another cupcake I bought from the Crumbs Bake shop in the mall last week.
I bought…

• Banana Cream Pie (Limited Edition) REVIEWEDVanilla cake filled with banana custard topped with vanilla buttercream and a dollup of banana custard. *Available in stores 8/1-8/14.
• Apple Cobbler
  Apple cinnamon cake with apple preserves filling topped with vanilla cream cheese frosting and covered in streusel crumbs.
• Cookie Dough
  Vanilla cake with chocolate fudge filling covered in vanilla cream cheese frosting mixed with soft chocolate chip cookie pieces and topped with a chocolate chip cookie.

(This time I took a size comparison photo. Look how big that cobbler cupcake is!! The banana pie cupcake was the same size.)

Crumbs Bake Shop has a few different sizes available. This cookie dough cupcake is the “classic,” which is a standard muffin-pan-sized cupcake. The traditional Crumbs cupcake is significantly larger, and they even offer a large cake-sized cupcake for Birthday parties. It seems a little silly to have a giant cupcake. I mean, at that point it’s just a normal cake, isn’t it?

The banana cream pie cupcake was extremely disappointing. I really hope this one tastes better. (Otherwise it is like $14 wasted on pretty, but lackluster, cupcakes.) 
Thankfully we’re off to a good start. This cupcake actually smells like it’s namesake! I can smell vanilla butter cream and brown sugar. (Which reminds me of the wet ingredients in chocolate chip cookie dough.)

While I was at the Cherry Hill Mall I noticed that there was a new cupcake kiosk. (To be honest it might not be that “new.” I haven’t been to the mall in a while.) I couldn’t resist, I had to get a few different flavors.
