Crush Cakes delivered a stunning, on-theme wedding cake that perfectly matched the color palette and doubled as beautiful decor. The red velvet flavor tasted great and drew many compliments. Their cookies for the ice cream sundae bar were also stellar and very popular with guests.

Capri-Inspired Wedding Cake

We ordered a cake for our wedding and Justin + team absolutely knocked it out of the park!! Our wedding was all Capri blues, whites, greens, and lemons - and Crush Cakes understood the assignment. We received so many compliments on not just the cake's design but the taste too (red velvet). I am forever grateful for the baking team over at Crush Cakes for going above and beyond, making not just a delicious cake, but also a pretty piece of decor.

Also, we ordered cookies to accompany our wedding ice cream sundae bar. These were stellar and everyone was asking where we ordered them from! Compliments all around!!

Crushcakes is delicious, affordable, and easy to work with!

We ordered a variety of mini cupcakes for our wedding celebration and they were AMAZING! We had rave reviews from all of our wedding guests and we enjoyed a handful of leftovers after the wedding. The cake was moist, the frosting was delicious, and every cupcake was made with love. We truly enjoyed working with Crushcakes for our wedding celebration dessert

Best dessert bar!!

We went through crushcakes because it was my grandmas favorite cafe in Santa Barbara, and she recently passed so this was our way to have a part of her at our wedding. I also opted for a dessert bar instead of just a cake and all of the desserts were amazing! The cake was perfect and exactly what I wanted! Everyone loved the desserts they were gone in seconds after opening the dessert table! Thank you for providing such amazing desserts for our wedding!!

Great customer service + beautiful cake!

Crushcakes absolutely accomplished my wedding cake dreams! We had a very intimate (25 person) wedding, and they were very accommodating to my requests. The cake was so beautiful and absolutely delicious! My guests would not stop complementing the taste and appearance. Emily is such a breeze to work with. I wish I could relive my wedding day over and over again, just to eat Crushcakes again!

Such good cupcakes!

We didn't do a cake, and opted for cupcakes - they were so delicious! We had more than enough for our guests and they were so very tasty! We got a half dozen vegan, gluten-free as well for sensitive guests, sometimes they can be dry but not at Crushcakes, they were moist and perfect! We included a cupcake tower and the display was beautiful!

Delicious Wedding Cake!

We did a cake tasting at Crushcakes and knew we had to use them for our wedding. Their cake is so homemade tasting and delicious. They were easy to work with and the pricing was reasonable. We did a 2 tiered cake and sheet cake for the guests with multiple flavors. It turned out gorgeous and we got lots of compliments on the cake.

Did you know that Crushcake Weddings also makes macarons?!?! They are not to be missed! Lemon is my favorite but it is very difficult not to try one of each!
