Sunday June 13 we’ll be at RebusFest! Come out for the music, food, and art. Festivites don’t begin till noon so you have plenty of time to sleep off that hangover! This is a great opportunity to check out the excellent art by Luke Buchanan.
We will be serving:
-Brownies! (remember those from the Handmade market??)
-big chocolate chip cookies!
-Devitos (mini chocolate cups of cake) topped with the very special GHOST CHILE GANACHE!
All items $2.
We will also be selling our new tshirts designed by David Eichenberger and printed by Adam Peele.
RebusFest takes place at RebusWorks (301-2 Kinsey St.) from 12-6pm.
Cash only at both events.
Crumb is very pleased to be taking part in this year’s Farm to Fork celebration of local foods and local farms. For those going, this is what you are getting from us. For those not going, this is what you are missing out on.
We are doing three different types of cake:
1] An untitled cake featuring chocolate from Escazu Artisan Chocolate (Raleigh, NC), beer from Big Boss (Raleigh, NC), and goat cheese and yogurt from Celebrity Dairy (Siler City, NC)
2] Strawberry cake with strawberry buttercream featuring strawberries from Barefoot Farms (Meadow, NC)
3] Sweet Potato cake with brown sugar/bourbon buttercream featuring Beauregard Sweet Potatoes from L & G Farms (Meadow, NC)
All cakes use flour from Lindley Mills (Graham, NC), cream and buttermilk from Maple View Farm (Hillsborough, NC), and eggs from Latta’s Egg Ranch (Hillsborough, NC)
Thanks to Escazu, Big Boss, and Celebrity Dairy for donating ingredients.
As a side note, this is the last weekend to buy strawberries from Barefoot farms at the Raleigh Farmer’s Market. Go and get some, they are the perfect strawberry: red to the core, tart, and sweet without being sugary.
Pictures will be posted on Monday.
We decided that we needed tshirts to brand ourselves for this weekend at Farm to Fork. Local screen printing legend Adam Peele did a short run for us with the Crumb logo. CRUMBshirts are available in limited supply in women’s small and men’s large in orange, brown, and blue for $15 each plus tax. Email us at info(at)justCrumb.com to tell us what size and color you want (provide alternate color choice due to limited supplies) and we will hold a CRUMBshirt for you.
CRUMBshirt blue
CRUMBshirt brown
CRUMBshirt orange
In the future, we will all be wearing CRUMBshirts.
We had a great response to the #NameThatCake contest. Thanks to everyone that took part.
In the end, we decided to combine our two favorite suggestions into one. The madness that is the coconut milk cake, red curry caramel, and mango buttercream will henceforth be known as Phuket Bill. Mad thanks to the winners, Katie Knight (@knightlibrarian) and Brad from Big Boss (@BigBossbeer). You can both claim your prize, your very own Phuket Bill, tonight at Rebus Works.
The Phuket Bill will be available tonight in a beta release at Rebus Works along with an awesome Strawberry cake (gluten free) filled with Strawberries and topped with a strawberry buttercream. Sale starts at 6pm and runs until 10, or until we sell out.
As always, all of Crumbs tasty treats are baked using as many locally sourced ingredients as possible including fresh NC strawberries, flour, dairy, and eggs.
Rebus Works is located at 301-2 Kinsey Street Raleigh, NC 27603
