We used crushcakes for our wedding cake! It looked great, but they used the wrong flavor frosting for our $650 cake. Still tasted good, but it wasn’t what we specially chose for ou...
r big day. We also emailed them about a week after the event just to let them know about the mistake and they’ve completely ignored us! So we are disappointed in the lack of customer service in regard to the mistake! We didn’t want a refund, just to give a heads up! Great for getting cupcakes in house, but I would not reccomend for an expensive wedding cake!
I love crushcakes! We had a simple wedding cake but even with that, they exceeded my expectations! The cake was delicious, super affordable, and so elegant. Justin was a pleasure t...

ter 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!
So, I believe everyone really enjoyed the cake and cupcakes that we ordered but apparently there was a mix up on which location our cake/ cupcakes were suppose to be from. My weddi...
ng coordinator went to pick them up on Saturday 02 Oct and got to 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.
I have always loved Crushcakes cupcakes. We eloped in Santa Barbara and ordered a Chocolate Bliss 6” inch cake. It was gorgeous and delicious! We were able to get 10 slices out of ...
it. It was a very reasonable price. Would absolutely recommend!
My wife and I didn't know too much about Crushcakes before discovering this shop on Yelp. We walked in and were graciously helped by the staff in answering our questions regarding ...
wedding catering. They had a huge selection of cupcake flavors as 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!
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 an...
d 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!
All I can say is wow! The cake was perfect just what I envisioned. The decoration and taste was amazing. The vanilla bean is to die for.
Choose Crushcakes for your wedding cake! The entire experience with Emily and her team was amazing. She was very quick to responding to emails and great to work with all around. Fr...

ot look exactly how I had requested, even though I provided a photo (was missing blackberry accents). Overall, it was still beautiful.
We ordered cupcakes and cake pops with Crushcakes for our wedding. We had tried their desserts at many occasions and liked them very much. We first visited the store who referred u...
s to Emily their Wedding & Event Coordinator. Getting a hold of 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!
I've been familiar with Crushcakes for years now, and have stopped in many a time for a cupcake or pastry when I'm in Santa Barbara. When we began planning our wedding and settled ...
on a Montecito reception venue, Crushcakes was at the top of our 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!
I am so beyond disappointed in my experience with Crushcakes. After my tasting and consultation Crushcakes assured me they would be able to make me a three tier cake with a white a...
nd grey marble design with silver leaf. The cake ended up being 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.
We loved our marbled cake. It turned out beautifully. However, My selection of the raspberry champagne tasted better when we tasted it as a cupcake then actually in a sheet cake. T...
he peanut butter and chocolate is amazing and something to definitely 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!!
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 cupc...
akes 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.
We ordered mini cupcakes for our Memorial Day weekend wedding and they were spectacular. The guests kept taking plates of them to their table. We ordered several different flavors ...
because they were all so good it was hard to keep it to just a few 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!
Crushcakes is our favorite bakery! We were worried we would not be able to have their amazing cupcakes for our wedding, but thankfully we were able to make an order and have it fl...

dmother spent hours making in the kitchen from scratch. It wasn'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!

s so easy, from general inquiries about pricing and process, to 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!

orgeous and delivered flawlessly to our wedding venue. At the venue, it was decorated with flowers. It looked beautiful and it tasted delicious! Thank you, Crushcakes!!
Crushcakes’ cupcakes have long been a favorite local indulgence of mine, so they were an obvious first choice for me when it was time to select a wedding cake vendor. While I knew...
from past experience that the product would be delicious, I was 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.
I don't have the biggest sweet tooth, so when it came time to get a cake for our wedding, I felt like I could just close my eyes & pick a flavor. We tried another bakery, which sha...
ll remain nameless, and it was very dry. We decided to do a tasting 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!
Our wedding cake was so affordable and delicious. The girls at Crushcakes were very sweet and made sure I got exactly what I wanted for our cake. We had a 3 tier cake with two flav...
ors. They were the most reasonable wedding cake vendor I could find with a delivery fee to Ojai for only $40 which was much less than what the competitors offered for the same size cake. I would recommend you do a tasting before hand as they have so many amazing flavors to pick from!
Great mini cupcakes, cake, and chocolate strawberries! Everyone loved them!
The cupcakes were perfect in every way! And they truly were a highlight of the night!

their cakes and cupcakes are delicious! The vanilla bean frosting is to die for and the cupcakes are so cute! We had their large 3-tiered cake and multiple flavors of cupcakes for our wedding for 175 people. The cupcakes were gone within 10 minutes, I even had to hide one for myself to eat later!
