valentine's day Reminder: 1,000 free cupcakes today from Crumbs opening at Newark airport

As we told you about earlier this week, 1,000 free cupcakes today at Crumbs in Newark Airport! I don't know off the top of my head about other cupcake bakeries in airports but have been saying for years that they should be in airports (I've seen a few random cupcakes at airports but not a cupcake bakery per se). Visit Crumbs' Facebook page for the latest. We Tweeted to Newark mayor Cory Booker (@CoryBooker) about this giveaway and he wrote: "Congrats! But oh the temptation!"

And this news of 1,000 free cupcakes this Friday, January 28th, starting at 6 a.m., at their Newark, New Jersey store grand opening:

valentine's day Is Crumbs "The Starbucks of Cupcakes?" And 1,000 free cupcakes in Newark on Friday, plus brownie heart cupcake

That's what Laura Kosisto at The New York Observer calls them:

The store, which also sells coffee and other baked goods, is looking for new locations on Madison Avenue on the Upper East Side; in Chelsea around 21st Street and Sixth Avenue; in the West Village; and around Lincoln Center. A Times Square store is already in the oven.

Crumbs also plans to spread more to the outer boroughs, including Park Slope and Forest Hill in Queens. The store is looking for spaces between 1,000 and 1,500 square feet that have good foot traffic. Crumbs, founded in 2003, also recently announced it will go public through a $66 million merger with an investment company. As the country's largest cupcake chain, it currently operates 16 stores in New York City alone.

From their Facebook page - this cupcake will be for sale on Monday:

valentine's day Limited edition Pinkalicious cupcakes at Crumbs Bakeshop

Pinkalicious, the popular New York Times bestselling children's book (click here to read our interview with the autor and illustrator) and now theater character, has her own limited edition cupcake at Crumbs Bakeshop. I also got in trouble for the first time in years of taking photos at Crumbs - perhaps it's a new rule, or the Crumbs I went into was particularly persnickety, but whatever, I got these before I was told no more photos. And yes, in New York City, due to our labeling laws, you can find out exactly how many calories are in your cupcakes. See Crumbs.com for ordering and shipping details and store locations.
