CRUMBS Bake Shop, Originators of the Gourmet Cupcake,Partners with the Tony Hawk Foundation to Create the “Tony Hawk SkateCake”
My favorite bakery, CRUMBS, just took cupcakes to a whole new level of rad. The Tony Hawk foundation is a really fantastic organization that helps build safe skateparks for communities that need them, but can’t afford them.
Created by Tony Hawk himself, the SkateCake is made up of chocolate cake with rainbow sprinkles baked in, vanilla cream cheese frosting edged with red and white sprinkles and topped with an edible sugar replica of a Tony Hawk custom designed skateboard. CRUMBS will donate $ 1.00 from every SkateCake sold to The Tony Hawk Foundation. The SkateCake will be available for $4.00 each in all store locations and will also be sold online at www.crumbs.com.
NEW YORK, NY (March 4, 2010) – CRUMBS Bake Shop, the originator of the gourmet cupcake, is collaborating with the Tony Hawk Foundation, to create a signature cupcake, the “Tony Hawk SkateCake.” Proceeds from the sale of the SkateCake will benefit The Tony Hawk Foundation to help provide funds to build high-quality skateparks in low-income areas throughout the United States.
“This is the first time CRUMBS has partnered with a sports foundation like the Tony Hawk Foundation,” said Jason Bauer, CEO and co-founder of CRUMBS Bake Shop. “We’re thrilled to be part of this unique partnership to help foster lasting improvements in local communities, and give back to our youth in a fun and relatable way.”
As of February 19, 2010, the Tony Hawk SkateCake is available in all stores and online (shipping nation-wide) in our signature size through the end of the year. The SkateCake is a delicious combination of chocolate cake with sprinkles baked into the cake, vanilla cream cheese frosting, red and white sprinkles around the edges and topped with an edible “skateboard,” that was designed by Tony Hawk himself for the SkateCake.
“I believe in the importance of being active in your community,” said Tony Hawk, Founder of the Tony Hawk Foundation. “Through developing the SkateCake with CRUMBS Bake Shop, we are empowering our communities to help create skateparks for everyone to enjoy.”

ABOUT THE TONY HAWK FOUNDATION: A charitable, non-profit organization, the Tony Hawk Foundation was established in 2002 by its namesake, professional skateboarder Tony Hawk, to promote and provide funds for high-quality public skateparks in low-income areas throughout the United States—with an emphasis on the word “quality.” Since then, the Foundation has awarded over $3.1-million to 444 communities. The Foundation focuses on working with local officials and grassroots, community-based organizations that plan to hire designers and contractors with strong experience designing and building skateparks.
The Tony Hawk Foundation was established by a gift from Tony Hawk. Its directors raise additional funds through events, industry donations, and continuing contributions from Tony and other entities. In addition to skateparks, the Foundation also makes donations to other children-related charities, as chosen by its Board Of Directors.
