I know we may have declared the cupcake trend dead, but who is to argue with free food? Crumbs Bake Shop, the New York bakery that is opening a bunch of locations throughout the D.C. area, is celebrating its Arlington store opening with 1,000 free cupcakes. The new location, in Clarendon, opened December 30th. And they're giving away their large size cupcakes, which is approximately the size of your head. The store opened at 9 a.m. so head over fast if you want to enjoy a free treat. If you're too late, don't worry - buy a cupcake and you'll get a free cup of coffee. more ›

Crumbs Bake Shop (yes another cupcake shop) is celebrating its first D.C. location at 604 11th Street downtown today by giving away free coffee with each order for the next two weeks. Crumbs is second in famous New York cupcake shops to Magnolia Bakery (so yes, we have another New York import). And, if you're patient, if you go in next Friday they will be giving away 1,000 cupcakes. more ›
