Clarkson Ave. Crumb Cake Co. is a family business owned and operated by the mother and son team of Susan and James Walsh. Susan grew up on Clarkson Avenue in Brooklyn, NY in the 1950s and 60s. Like in many parts of New York, the people in Susan's neighborhood took great pride in the food they created. This experience would forever shape Susan's culinary philosophy - that great food is the result of high-quality ingredients prepared with love.
Cooking always came naturally to Susan and she is revered among family and friends for her amazing food creations. And none more so than her crumb cake, which she created so she could share her Clarkson Avenue experience with her children. However, it wouldn't take long for Susan's crumb cake to become an obsession of not just her family and friends, but everyone who tried it.
James, who shares his mother's flare for cooking, naturally gravitated to a career in the restaurant industry, beginning at age 14 at the local bagel store. It was this bagel store that James first came up with the idea to turn Susan's delicious crumb cakes into a business. Though Susan initially resisted, James could never quite let go of the idea. As his career progressed, he carefully studied what it takes to be successful in the food industry, and what he learned only strengthened his conviction. And after a mere 20 years of nagging, he was finally able to convince Susan to take her scrumptious cakes to market.
And thus, Clarkson Avenue Crumb Cake Company was born, with the goal of using high-quality ingredients to create exceptional crumb cakes just like the ones Susan grew up eating in Flatbush, Brooklyn. While Susan's recipe remains the basis for all their cakes, Susan and James have taken it and expanded upon it, pushing the creative limits of what a crumb cake can be. They've truly taken the crumb cake "game" to the next level and continue to challenge each other to create new and exciting flavors for all to enjoy!
