    Thank you to all of the Crushcakes staff for making my wedding day so beautiful! The desserts were all heavenly and I don't think much of anything was left! The tasting was planned and my bridal party and I headed up to the area last June! I picked out the flavors and designed my cake through photographs of ideas I had found online! Everything came out just perfect! I would recommend them to ANYONE!!!

    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

    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!

    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!!

    Amazing desserts!!

    Amazing desserts. My fiancé and I loved everything we tried. Every flavor was delicious! I ended up ordering one of everything for the dessert table (and I don't regret it at their prices). The cupcakes aren't too sweet and were super cute! Staff was also great. Highly recommended

    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.

    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!

    Stupid good!

    The first thing we did after getting engaged was to go cake tasting (um, priorities) and after the first bite of the few dozen or so cupcake tasters, we knew Crushcakes would be our go to. The cakes are delicious and moist and they even have some not too traditional flavors that resonated with us. Emily (and the Crushcakes staff) was incredibly helpful throughout the tasting, ordering, and the frequent change request process. And it was so affordable compared to other places we looked at! Like I'm still baffled as to why. Because for our order size for the quality (and for how much the guests LOVED it), I would have paid more. Guests were thrilled when we brought out the leftovers the next day at brunch. And it was still stupid good.

    All I can say is YUMMMMY

    We had a half naked chocolate cake, that was beautiful and delicious. It was so dense and good we were still eating it 3 days later .... and it was STILL delicious.

    Beautiful wedding cake

    Beautiful gluten free vegan cake for our wedding. My husband has a lot of food allergies so we are so grateful they offered a cake he can eat, and not to mention it was beautiful, delivered on time and they were so easy to work with!

    For our wedding we decided we wanted a small cutting cake and cupcakes. We tried a few cupcake places in the Santa Barbara area and Crushcakes was far and away the best. Their cupcakes were moist and not overly sweet and they offered some fun flavors. I will admit that the cutting cake was a little overly dense and the icing too sweet for us, but the cupcakes were delish (we got lots of good feedback about them from our guests). And the cutting cake looked super cute. They were also totally delightful to work with while planning and very quick to respond to everything.

    HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! THIS PLACE IS SO AMAZINGLY GOOD! We had tried Crushcakes on our own when we were in town. Conveniently, it is just a few blocks from our venue. We decided to book with them, and we couldn't have been more pleased with how everything turned out. We got a great mix of mini cupcakes and cookies. The hardest part was that there were almost too many delicious options to choose from for our small wedding cake! Working with Emily was a dream. She was so organized and prepared for the tasting and was flexible when we wanted to make a few changes closer to the wedding. Our guests had nothing but good things to say about the quality and variety we had at our mini cupcake bar. On top of all the deliciousness, their prices are SO reasonable! We were able to get more than we had seen at other places with our budget.

    Everything was perfect from working with Emily upfront to - omg the cake. I had many people tell me it was the best they’ve ever had, including some people who said they didn’t like cake who loved it. We had some left over and invited friends and family over the next day to finish it off. With no wedding planner I had to trust it would show up on time with flowers added and I didn’t have to worry about a thing. It showed up on time looking gorgeous.

    Thanks for everything Emily!!

    Crushcakes is one of my very favorite bakeries—the hardest part was choosing flavors, because they are ALL delicious! Fortunately we were ordering cupcakes along with our cake, so we were able to choose more than one. Everything turned out wonderful, the staff was awesome, cake and cupcakes were perfect and delicious. The whole experience was great. THANK YOU, Crushcakes!

    My guests loved our cake and couldn’t stop talking about how delicious it was. We had a two layer cake with lemon on top and marble on the bottom. It was iced with their vanilla bean frosting. I think guests liked having the choice between the two flavors and oh my goodness it was yummy! Crushcakes was accommodating to my vegan guests too. They made similar versions of the cake in vegan cupcakes. The manager was pleasant to work with. The cake was delivered on time and set on the cake table. The restaurant kindly put our Lego cake topper on for us. We are highly satisfied with the quality of our cake and service Crushcakes have us!

    I had an amazing experience working with Crushcakes for my wedding cake. We had a 4 tier cake and extra sheet cakes for additional guest. All the flavors were delicious and I loved that they had some options that were outside the box. Emily was responsive and helpful and even thought to leave a card and little gift for us on our wedding day. I highly recommend them!

    Crush cakes did an AMAZING job creating and decorating my wedding cake. Each layer was a different flavor and it all delicious!! They decorated my cake with fresh flowers cascading down from top to bottom. The cake was gorgeous- the guests were taking photos with it. It came out just as l had imagined! And the Rice Krispie later was the best!!
