Ohhh boy! Crave makes some damn fine little cakes! They have a wide variety for sale and also they have a flavor of the month (this month is carrot cake) but make sure you come early because they often run out of cupcakes by the end of the day.
I remember I first tried these cupcakes around 5 or so years ago. My oldest sister was getting married and she invited me to come to a "cake" tasting, of course I obliged and tagged along. I remember we went downtown and met up with a lady (one of the sisters who started crave) and she talked about their story and how their mom was the inspiration and the source of some of the recipes for crave. Then we tried the cupcakes. "CUPCAKES for a wedding?" I thought that was weird, but I guess my sister fancied herself for being different so a tiered cupcake "cake" it was! After I tried them (it was the signature crave cupcake chocolate cake with their mind blowing vanilla buttercream icing) I was hooked, and commended my sister for her choice, I probably ate 3 at her wedding because the dinner was blah, but at least the crave cupcakes made up for it! hahaha
So anyhow I just adore this place! When they started expanding the locations and when I found out willow park was getting one I got so pumped! These cakes pack a flavour punch! A lot of people say they put too much icing or that they are too rich (which I don't understand???) That is a BIG bonus in my mind, I cant get enough these.I have to be very careful....
5 years later I am still eating crave, in fact just yesterday I tried the carrot cake at a birthday, it was really moist and quite sweet. On friday I tried a red velvet elvis whoopie pie, it was amazing and made for a clean snack (no spilling or icing on my face)! whoopies iz a reaaaddyyy!!
I honestly can say I have never had better cake than crave. My all time favorite is the Va va vanilla. Simple and so amazing, I have often wondered how I can get the recipe for that icing! Its so freakin good! I should just get a summer job and find out the recipe that way!
If you haven't tried their cupcakes then go A.S.A.P And please don't complain that you got to much icing! just eat the stinkin thing and let the sugar rush kick in!
