Crumbzz Cakes:
Gourmet Crumbcake
What could be better than waking up to the cinnamon scent of crumbcake wafting through the house on Mother’s Day morning? The cakes from Crumbzz consist of a gentle yellow cake base with thick, heavy, delicious streusel on top. These yummy cakes are all-natural with no artificial ingredients, preservatives or chemical additives. For added excitement, go for one of the fruit flavors instead of the plain cinnamon. Heat it up slightly in the oven or microwave for a warm breakfast or brunch treat.
