Fans of The Original Crumbs Bakeshop are in for a sweet treat.
On Monday, the beloved New York City bakery announced that their new four-pound Colossal Cupcakes are now available at Kroger Family Stores.
The gigantic cupcakes each weigh 68 ounces, or 4.25 pounds, and can feed about 20 people, a spokesperson for the brand told Parade.
The serving size is approximately 21, and each serving is 290 calories — meaning the entire cupcake comes in at 6,090 calories, according to the nutrition facts listed on Kroger’s website.
“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,” Mia Bauer, co-founder of Crumbs Bakeshop, told industry news magazine Supermarket Perimeter.
The new massive treats will be available for fans to get at their local store in two different flavors: Vanilla Birthday Cake and Cookies & Cream.
The Vanilla Birthday Cake Colossal Cupcake features a vanilla confetti cake with a “piñata-style sprinkle surprise” filled inside, covered with Crumbs famous vanilla frosting and sprinkles.
The Cookies & Cream Colossal Cupcake is a rich chocolate cake filled with cookies & cream-infused buttercream filling on the inside and topped with Crumbs signature vanilla buttercream, covered with cookies and cream cookie pieces.
Crumbs Colossal Cupcake will hit shelves on June 20 at the Kroger family of grocery stores, which includes Dillons, Fred Meyer, Fry’s, Kroger, City Market, Metro Market and Ralphs, and it costs $24.99.
“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,” co-founder Jason Bauer told Supermarket Perimeter.
“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.”
