In Pursuit of the Giant Cupcake

While discussing mother's day gifts with my mother-in-law Barbara, she told me about this place called "Crumbs Bakery" which will ship their cupcakes wherever you want for mother's day (or any other occasion for that matter). Apparently these cupcakes are spectacular and not to mention HUGE (4-inches in height and width to be exact). So, I looked up these marvelous cupcakes online, and boy did they look deeeeelicious. They have every kind of flavor you can imagine, from blueberry swirl to cookie dough. They also have three different sizes of cupcakes: "taste" which is about 2 inches big, "classic" which is like supermarket-sized, and "signature" which is the big guy coming in at 4-inches.
We looked up locations of this mystical bakery and noticed that there is a store in Westfield, which is about 15 minutes from where we live (Insert girly squeal here). So we decided to go check it out the very next day.
We managed to find the place, no problem. Finding a parking spot was a little tougher. We finally found a spot and walked on over to Crumbs Bake Shop. It was a quaint little bakery with the glorious cupcakes, cookies, brownies and other tempting treats displayed beautifully in the glass case. We stood there practically drooling trying to decide which ones we would get. I ended up getting 4 cupcakes, 2 for me, 2 for Evan: From top left, clockwise, they are: Chocolate Sprinkle, Cookie Dough, Reese's Peanut Butter Cup, and Cappucino.

To give you an idea of the size of these babies, I have placed one next to a regular can of beans:
I cannot wait to sink my teeth into these marvelous, mouth-watering confections. The only question is...which one will I try first?
