Crushcakes & Cafe

and every cupcake was made with love. We truly enjoyed working with Crushcakes for our wedding celebration dessert!

o the Santa Barbara location told them the name for our wedding and said it was for a wedding, and were told that the cakes were at the Goleta location and instead of Crushcakes calling the Goleta location they just told my coordinator to go there because that's where the cakes were. So, she gets to the Goleta location and they tell her that they don't have them either so she calls the Santa Barbara location and tells them again what its for and then the Santa Barbara location said they had our cakes. I loved the cakes and cupcakes but I feel like the organization could have been better.

s well as seasonal flavors that they could custom make for a wedding. After deciding to go with them, ordering with Emily was very easy and stress free. They only needed an estimate at the time of deposit and didn't require the final tally until a few weeks before the wedding. As mentioned before, the were able accommodate our request for seasonal flavors that weren't immediately on the menu. Everything was pretty straightforward come wedding day. Our planner picked up the cupcakes without issue, and our guests loved all the cupcake flavors we ordered! We would definitely recommend Crushcakes!

he 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!

the day of - they were on top of everything. We absolutely LOVED our confetti cake and all our guests couldn't get enough too. So good!

ore the wedding was excellent. I would highly recommend them.

oto (was missing blackberry accents). Overall, it was still beautiful.

her made our experience stressful. It took days even weeks before she returned any of our phone calls or emails. We had to chase her down at multiple occasions. This is clearly something undesirable when planning an event of that size. Our cupcakes and cake pops ended up being exactly the way we wanted, but left a bittersweet impression on us considering the amount of time we spent getting in touch with Emily. If you are considering dealing with Crushcakes, arm yourselves with lots of patience!

list for cake options. After doing a tasting with another bakery, and then Crushcakes, it was an obvious choice for us! Emily guided us through the whole tasting process on their outdoor patio, and we settled on a lemon cake with cream cheese frosting. Since we were doing a full dessert bar, we decided to go with a smaller wedding cake, so we did the two tier, which ended up looking wonderful among the other desserts. Not only was the process enjoyable, but the pricing was more than fair, and best of all, the cake tasted AMAZING. So fresh, great lemon flavor, but not overpowering. Our guests definitely enjoyed it, and we enjoyed the top tier with friends and family when we returned from the honeymoon, and it still tasted great! I would highly recommend Crushcakes for all of your wedding cake needs, they made our vision come to life and we are so grateful!

deformed, baby blue/teal (still have no idea why the cake turned out blue when I requested white and grey), and had no silver leaf but instead silver glitter splattered on it. My guests were laughing at how awful it looked and I was in tears over it. I was so excited to have the cake of my dreams and had the complete opposite. Crushcakes gave me a $95 refund and a $50 gift card to their store (which I will never be able to use since I live out of state). However, considering the cake(which was over $400) was the completely wrong color, falling apart, had glitter on it, and had barely any marbling on it I think a larger refund would have been appropriate. I’m still heartbroken that I will never get to look back at the beautiful wedding cake I hoped to have. Extremely disappointed in the way Crushcakes handled the aftermath of their mistakes. I would never recommend this business to any brides and wish I would chosen a different business to create my cake.

itely get! My groom absolutely loved his bicycle grooms cake. Thank you for recreating his exact bike from a photo I sent! Would definitely recommend Crushcakes. Emily was great to work with and was easy to get a hold of via email throughout the day. Thanks for making our cakes!!

lavors. 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.

ew flavors. We also ordered a small crush cake for the bride and groom cake and it was delicious. We were so happy to come back to our room at the end of our wedding night and dig in to it! It's pretty small, but it's the perfect size for two people. The quality really shines through with Crushcakes. Everything was moist and delicious. Emily is the wedding orders coordinator. She is pretty quick to respond and easy to work with. We will definitely be stopping by the bakery next time we are in town!

always. The naked cake we ordered looked elegant and beautiful! The prices are very reasonable and all of their products taste so rich and delicious! The staff was helpful in our planning and purchase process, it was very appreciated.

the day before our wedding. Top notch customer service from Emily Ulrich! I highly recommend their cupcakes and wedding cake if you are looking for one on your wedding day. You won't be disappointed!

t too rich in the slightest, and so far it looks like it's holding up well in our freezer for our one year anniversary (well, what's left of the cake anyway). Emily, thank you for the delicious cake at our wedding. We are so happy went with you!

setting up the tasting, to updating our order and to communicating design details back and forth to get the look just right. Our guests also loved the cake flavors. In a time when many couples are choosing dessert alternatives to a show-stopping cake, I am so happy that Crushcakes was able to make this lovely tradition part of our special day without us breaking the bank. Thank you, Crushcakes!

nue, it was decorated with flowers. It looked beautiful and it tasted delicious! Thank you, Crushcakes!!

less certain about the level of customer service we could expect. Taking care to explore all the options (and eat all the cake!), I scheduled tastings for several other bakeries in the area. Crushcakes not only proved to be the best tasting cake, as I expected, but they were very responsive to our inquiries and were able to deliver to our reception site when others were unavailable. My concerns about customer service turned out to be entirely unfounded. Of course, because my husband loves pie as much as I love cake, we quickly became excited about the idea of offering guests a choice of cupcakes or pielets (or both). Hallie at Simply Pies offered us a great tasting experience and was happy to develop our idea of an off-menu s’mores pie (which turned out great!). We finally settled on 3 flavors of pielets from Simply Pies and 3 flavors of cupcakes from Crushcakes, plus a full, single-layer cake for me and a regular-sized pie for him. It was a lucky coincidence that just as we were ready to finalize our choices, the two businesses joined forces. Understandably, Simply Pies was nearly impossible to reach during the transition, but we had a wonderful experience working with Emily at Crushcakes. From ensuring that each pielet was topped with a heart-shaped crust (previously discussed with Simply Pies) to helping me narrow down my cake-themed Pinterest board to the decorating option that seemed to best encompass my vision, she took care of every detail of our order. Our resulting array of miniature cakes and pies was both beautiful and delicious.

ing at Crushcakes because the pricing was in our budget, they had simple wedding cake designs & good reviews. The cake was AMAZING! Blew my mind, wow, cake can be this good! On our wedding day, the cake was my favorite thing that I ate all day. We got sooooo many compliments about how good it was. I am giving them 4 stars for service because when we arrived at our scheduled tasting, the person we made the appointment with was out sick so we had to wait about 15-20 minutes before we could talk to someone. It wasn't the end of the world, nor their fault. With that said, their pricing is a great value for the quality of the cake, so it all worked out in the end. We had a 2 tier cake & fresh flowers. On choosing a style, they asked us to email them a photo & they did a pretty good job copying it. They also have pedestals that you can buy or rent for the wedding, so if you are doing a small cake for cutting an another dessert, you can put on a pedestal to make it look more grand. Highly recommend!
