No. 1: Pumpkin & Welcome

Welcome to my first blog and post!  I love food and enjoy talking about my eating experiences with friends and decided to venture into the world of blogging (which is a pretty big step for me).  For my first time out, why not start with a simple, fun and lighthearted subject...cupcakes!

Specifically, the cupcakes at Crumbs Bake Shop.  I've always enjoyed their cupcakes for the variety of flavors and the decorations.  They just make me smile and say "ooo, I want to try that one."  There always seems to be a new cupcake, so I've made it a quest to try every Crumbs cupcake available for fun.  After indulging in many a Crumbs cupcakes, I decided to keep track through this blog.  Hope you enjoy my trail of Crumbs!

First up, Pumpkin.

This happens to be the Cupcake of the Month which is fitting for October.  The Pumpkin has all the flavors I was expecting with a pumpkin cake that has just the right amount of spices to remind me it's fall.  The raisins and walnuts add a nice texture and crunch that make this cupcake hearty.  The pumpkin cream cheese frosting is a perfect topping and, just for a moment, I thought I was eating carrot cake.  Great flavor for the season.
