Giant cupcakes are making their way back to Manhattan.

The Crumbs Bake Shop location at Columbus Square — at 795 Columbus Avenue — is the first one to re-open under new management.

Crumbs closed all of its stores and filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection last month. CNBC television personality Marcus Lemonis and Dippin’ Dots owner Fischer Enterprises LLC won a bankruptcy auction with a $6.5 million bid, according to the New York Post.
