While millions will celebrate Easter on April 4, many also look forward to enjoying National Caramel Day on the 5th. If you were not aware of this sweet and sticky celebration or want a new way to enjoy it, I recommend New York’s Clarkson Avenue Crumb Cake Co. who just came out with a creative take on their already amazing crumb cakes by adding a gooey layer of yummy homemade caramel!

As with all Clarkson Avenue cakes, the new caramel-coated cake is made with the finest ingredients available (including fresh butter and real Siagon cinnamon and Bourbon vanilla) and cooked in the traditional way it was done in its birthplace of Brooklyn for generations. So not only will their cakes take your tastebuds for a ride, they may take many back to a simpler time when food was delicious without being so processed.

In addition to the caramel cake, the Clarkson gang also offers a traditional crumb cake, a Big Apple cake, raspberry, blueberry, and PB&J cakes, and even a chocoaltey Brooklyn blackout cake and multi-colored birthday cake that is perfect for other celebrations as well. And while the full-sized cakes are tempting, the Clarkson Ave. gang also makes individual-sized “Crumbkins” that offer all of the flavor in a smaller package. They also have a cake of the month club that offers an ever-changing (but always delicious!) menu of options, all of which are delivered fresh to your door!

So put down the stickball bat, plop down on the stoop, and prepare to reminisce (or discover a new favorite) with the help of the authentic flavors of Clarkson Avenue.

By the way, while April 5 is Caramel Day, any cake orders during March are subject to a buy one, get one at 50% sale!
