The Original CRUMBS Bakeshop Gets the Party Started With Launch of Giant-Sized Cupcake - The Colossal

The Colossal Cupcake Weighs in at a Whopping 60 Ounces — Now Available at The Kroger Co. Family of Stores

NEW YORK, May 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Original Crumbs Bakeshop, the beloved brand that pioneered the gourmet cupcake craze back in 2003, is shaking up supermarket dessert aisles with the launch of its newest innovation: The CRUMBS Colossal Cupcake. Designed to feed the entire party with one single cupcake, The Colossal is now available at The Kroger Co. Family of Stores across 22 states — bringing CRUMBS bakery-quality celebration cupcakes right to the bakery section of grocery stores.

"Our model has evolved, but our mission remains the same," said Mia Bauer, co-founder of CRUMBS Bakeshop. "We launched CRUMBS to bring back the magic of neighborhood bakeries, and now we want to bring that same premium quality to local supermarkets — so shoppers can pick up fresh, delicious, showstopping CRUMBS desserts alongside their groceries."

With its massive size and playful design, the CRUMBS Colossal Cupcake offers a bold, fun, homemade-tasting alternative to traditional sheet cakes or layer cakes. Available in two decadent flavors —

• Vanilla Birthday Cake: Classic vanilla confetti cake with a piñata-style sprinkle surprise filled on the inside and covered with CRUMBS famous vanilla frosting and sprinkles
  
  
• Cookies & Cream: Rich chocolate cake filled on the inside with cookies & cream-infused buttercream filling, topped with CRUMBS signature vanilla buttercream covered with mounds of cookies and cream cookie pieces

— it's the ultimate centerpiece for birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, office parties, and more.

"We're the first to market with a bakery item like this at the traditional neighborhood grocery store level, and we see it as a game-changer," added Co-Founder Jason Bauer. "Whether you're planning a celebration, or looking for a 'last-minute gift that doesn't scream 'I forgot', The Colossal cupcake offers something totally unique, viral-worthy, and fun — it's a conversation piece that turns any occasion into a sweet celebration."

Crumbs will also showcase The Colossal at the upcoming International Dairy Deli Bakery Association (IDDBA) Show (Booth #5050) in New Orleans, June 1–3, 2025. Attendees are invited to visit the Crumbs booth for a firsthand look — and taste — of the product that's redefining the dessert table.

About The Original Crumbs Bakeshop:

Founded in 2003 by husband-and-wife duo Mia and Jason Bauer, CRUMBS Bakeshop pioneered the gourmet cupcake movement with its over-the-top flavors, indulgent fillings, and signature frostings. At its peak, CRUMBS grew to 50 stores and became a $66 million national brand, selling over one million cupcakes per month.

After a change in ownership in 2012 led to the subsequent closures of its stores, the Bauers reacquired the brand for just $350 in 2022 and are now leading its remarkable comeback. CRUMBS is now expanding into supermarkets nationwide with the launch of its Colossal Cupcake.
