Crumbl is once again expanding its non-cookie offerings by testing new Blueberry Crumb Cake and Cookie Butter Tres Leches Cake at select locations.
Though Crumbl is best known for its rotating cookie selection, the brand has been steadily introducing new cake and dessert bar options. The newest cake options are Blueberry Crumb Cake and Cookie Butter Tres Leches Cake, both of which have already been generating buzz online, despite not being available nationwide yet. The Blueberry Crumb Cake option consists of a moist cake studded with sweet blueberries and topped with a buttery crumb topping and a sweet icing glaze. On the other hand, the new Cookie Butter Tres Leches Cake consists of a fluffy cake soaked in a sweet Tres Leches sauce, topped with a layer of melted cookie butter, and then finished with a topper of whipped cream, cookie butter piece, and even more cookie butter.
