why did the bake base of the crumb cake get smaller than before?old base was about 1 1/4 inch tall now it is about 3/4 inch?

Yes, prices have gone up a lot everywhere, as product sizes and amounts have decreased. You can try calling to see if they are new owners.

Could b new owners like everything else product gets smaller prices go up

I'd say more crumbs is fine with me!

To get your answer, I would call the bakery and ask them

$$$ .... Look at the can of tuna 6 1/2 oz today it's 5 oz.and the price went up????? It's not the crumb cake alone...EVERYTHING WENT UP
