Crave Cookies and Cupcakes

I absolutely love this place! It’s clean, friendly, efficient and they make delicious desserts! I have visited both Crowfoot and Kensington locations but prefer Crowfoot since it’s closer to home and easier to find parking.
Basically, the cupcakes are perfect in flavour and texture for my taste. It’s not too spongy or airy like a birthday cake but not as dense as a loaf. Chocolate is my favourite with either their signature blue icing or the strawberry icing lovingly known as the princess cupcake. I’ve tried every flavour. Coconut, peanut butter and dark angel are my novelties but I’m a chocolate princess followed by crave-​o-​licious in that exact order! They come in regular or mini sizes which make it perfect as a housewarming gift or hostess gift for any occasion. The icing is not too dense or hard and dry like commercial cupcakes. Some other cupcake places, the icing is too airy and I can’t feel it in my mouth. Call me crazy but I’m not a fan of flavoured air/​hence no hookah and shisha or rice cakes for me thx!!!
Cookies are also yummy! Good crunchy exterior with a softer interior and minimal crumble. I prefer chewy over crunchy and the confetti sugar cookie is perfect with a cup of tea or coffee. They’re large so splitting one is a good idea if you’re counting calories! I’ve not tried the cake, pies or gluten free items and unable to comment on that aspect. I’ve no doubt they’ll meet the same quality as the rest of their selection.
I’ve never had a bad experience here and you can pre-​order for pickup by a certain date. They’ll even host a cake decorating event.
I’ve tried Bliss and Buttercream shoppe but this is still my fave cupcake place. Great job Crave!!!

Delicious but so expensive! Really. like c’mon these bad boys better be worth it if you dare to buy a half a dozen. The deliciousness kinda ends in the late evening though as the cupcakes you buy at this time have been left out for most of the day and are kinda hard. But hey that’s what food does if it’s left on a shelf all day.

Here’s a convenient location to satisfy your cupcake craving! (Pun intended.) This Crave is located in the Crowfoot plaza so you can drop by for a movie, grab a meal, get your dessert, and shop for some sports apparel to work off those calories all in one go.
The cupcakes do sell out so try to go earlier. I went around 3pm on a Tuesday and everything was available but just an hour and a half later, only red velvet and the more expensive thanksgiving specials were left.
They have pumpkin pie, apple spice, and pumpkin spice cupcakes right now. Grab one before they’re gone until next year!
Mmm, cinnamon nutmeg buttercream…

Fantastic service and products! Thank you!

Oh Crave, Why must you be so sweet and delicious?
After a long day in the office, I was driving home when my tummy grumbled! Not the normal grumble when it grumbles when your hungry for anything, but a different grumble… a craving for cupcake grumble! Immediately, I thought that I needed a cupcake! Instead of going straight home, I kept driving… I could taste the peanut butter cupcake… now the strawberry one… now the red velvet, OH! Then! it starts raining… oh great, this better be well worth it! –_​–
Finally I arrive at Crave, the smell of the cupcakes and the look of them are amazing. they’re so pretty! Initially, I only wanted to get one cupcake, because if i get more that only means that I eat them all.
So I keep admiring the cupcakes and can’t just choose one, so I get half a dozen. (oh man, all the calories and sweet sweet goodness in my tummy) I chose the Peanut butter, Strawberry, Vanilla, Signature, Chocolate and Red Velvet. I usually like getting the cupcake of the month but they were out, but I’m still happy!
While the lady was putting the ribbon on the container, we were chatting when she told me that they’re opening another Crave in Saskatoon, Saskatwean. COOL! They’re expanding their chain and it will be good for them!
Of course after I left, I couldn’t wait til home so I indulged in the Red Velvet in the car. People probably thought I was weird because I was stuffing my face with cupcake, pausing and MMMMMing.
All in all, Crave Cupcake is a very pleasant place to stop by when you’re craving cupcakes or other sweets. The reason for the ⁴⁄₅ star is that the cake is up and down, there are days when they’re moist, and days when they’re dense. The icing is always brilliant though! People think its too sweet, but too sweet is perfect for me! :)

If you live in the far NW now you know that Crave is nearby!
