Crumb Crusher Cupcakes

Happy Mother's Day to all the incredible moms, auntie moms, fur baby moms, dads stepping into that role, and every person pouring love and care into their families! 💛

Today, I'm feeling so grateful. Grateful for my amazing son who keeps me grounded and reminds me why I do this. Grateful for every single one of my customers who trust me with their celebrations and their dietary needs—you make this journey so meaningful. And grateful that I get to work alongside my mom and aunt every single day, building something special together as a family.

I know my grandmother, Natachie Jean, would be so proud to see this—a Black woman-owned business rooted in inclusivity, family, and community. Her spirit is woven into everything we do at CrumbCrusher.

To all the moms out there juggling it all, showing up for your people, and making magic happen—you're seen, you're celebrated, and you're appreciated. 💚

Happy Mother's Day! 🎉

Happy Friday my lovelies! Can you all take a minute to show my son's 3rd grade teacher some love!

She is in the top 20, and she is so deserving of winning this!

The weather's been crumby and unpredictable lately, and winter is always our slowest season—but your support means everything to us right now! 💖

Here's the real talk: winter hits different for small bakeries like ours. The cold keeps folks inside, the snow makes travel tough, and every order—no matter how small—genuinely helps us keep the lights on and the ovens warm. We're so grateful for every single person who shows up for us.

With Valentine's Day right around the corner, now's the perfect time to spread some love (and treat yourself or someone special to something sweet!). We've got the whole menu ready to celebrate with you:

💕 **Valentine's Sampler** (Our Best Deal!) – $16–$20
Cheesecake slice + cupcake + dipped strawberries in an adorable heart-shaped container. Pick your dietary option: classic, vegan, gluten-free, or gluten-free vegan!

🧁 **Cupcakes** – classic vegan or GF/V
🍪 **Decorated Cookies** – Perfect for sharing or gifting
🍰 **Bento Cakes** – Grab-and-go 5" cakes, beautifully decorated
💝 **Dessert Bundles** – Mix and match for the perfect gift

Whether you're picking up for your sweetheart, your bestie, your kiddos, or just treating yourself, every order helps us finish out this tough winter strong. If you can't make it by the shop, order online: https://cclucakes.square.site/shop/valentine-2026/2CR3QKJFHKMCYCLM7OY7CZE4?page=1&limit=30&sort_by=category_order&sort_order=asc&location_id=L8AG3FNV90GKV

You can also help by sharing this post with friends and family—word of mouth is everything to us right now. Every little bit helps us keep the oven warm and the smiles coming!

Thank you for being part of the CrumbCrusher family. We appreciate you more than you know. Let's finish out the winter strong (and extra sweet) together! 🧁🍓🍰

Today, we quietly turned one. 🎂

How unbelievable that it's already been a year. Much like celebrating a child's first birthday, a business's one-year anniversary belongs to the builders—to those who kept something alive through every season, watched it flourish, navigated the ups and downs, and discovered something new to look forward to each day.

You have successes and lessons learned, but always—each day—something exciting. A thank you to the village/community that has helped this business (our child) grow. 💕 And here's to many more years of creating joy, one treat at a time.

This week, celebrate with us! Grab an itty bitty mini cupcake on the house (while supplies last). Also, try our flavors of the week: Butterscotch Bliss and Chai Spice.

Ok, so I got up at 7AM to stand in 19 degree weather for 2hrs (didn't realize it was an outdoor mall 😅😭) to be first in line (which I was) to gift myself the thing I've been wanting for months... Sooooo worth it 🥹 now the Byers Upsidown House has a neighbor 🖤 worth the loss of feeling in 2 fingers 🫠 I also built some new friends for the bakery! Gotta go the Hawkins ladies next!
