Look no further if you want a really delicious cake! Our whole family agreed that Lana's cake is…read morethe best one we've ever tasted. I think it's bc her ingredients are simple and fresh or maybe it's the love, but she can bake! We had a cake made for our daughter's 30th and we sent a design which Lana did beautifully. At first we thought the outside icing was fondant bc it was so perfect but we got a happy surprise with the realization that it was yummy white icing! We got a vanilla cake with chocolate frosting inside. The cake was fabulous and the frosting was unreal. It's a buttercream frosting but she added a bit of salt to it, which made it so delicious. The ordering process was super easy and she even delivered it to our house for a small fee. Even the cake box was good, nice and sturdy but with a window to see what's inside. Lana has created a very high quality product and high quality customer service but for a reasonable price. We can't wait until the next special occasion so we can order another one! Thank you, Lana!

Guests got a huge kick out of these cookies, and they went like wildfire! In addition, they are as delicious as they are charming. I was at a follow-up event several days later, and I had a guest come up to me to commend me on the party. Of all the things that I did...the taco bar, the margarita stand, the donut tower...none of that was mentioned. Out of EVERYTHING...this guest approached me and told me how delicious that cookie was! Tara gave my daughter a special box to savor, and I'm hoping she'll share because they all went so fast that I never got to try one. Tara is professional, and helpful, and went out of her way to make sure the cookies were perfect. Tara, expect to hear from me in the future. Your cookies were the hit of the event. THANK YOU!

Everything was on time, beautifully packaged, and completely stress-free on our end.

For my wedding I wanted to set up a dessert table with a variety of mini cupcakes and bite size desserts. I needed to serve enough desserts for 150 people without sacrificing good quality. I reached out to Crimson cakes for a tasting and I was able to get a box of samples before making my decision. In the end I selected 3 mini cupcakes (strawberry pistachio, red velvet, and black and white), fruit tarts, and chocolate mousse baskets. The desserts not only tasted amazing but they looked incredible and were decorated to match my wedding colors. I also got a cutting cake which was black berry lime flavored. My husband and I love this cake and we still can't stop thinking about it. We will have to go back to get this cake for another special occasion.

The taste of the cakes and petit desserts were phenomenal and freshly made. My guests couldn't stop raving about how delicious the desserts were. And what I loved was it wasn't excessively sweet but exactly the right combinations. They also have last minute already made cakes and desserts but also decorated a cake for me in one day!!! That's unheard of! For wedding and more elaborate cakes they need several weeks notice but their cakes are worth the wait!!! They truly are works of art that taste unbelievable!!! My favorite, if I have to pick one, is the chocolate cake, chocolate ganache filling with a white buttercream. The icing is so light and airy almost like a whipping cream icing. My guest were fighting over the last piece! Definitely will get a larger cake next time! This woman-owned business is no joke! These artist and master pastry chefs do it all! You might say their confections are perfection!!!

BIERGARDEN @ ENCINITAS…read more Parking can be a little difficult since this spot is located right on the main strip in Encinitas. There's parallel street parking throughout the area, so you might get lucky and find a spot nearby. I ended up parking on one of the side streets, which worked out perfectly. I came here on a Sunday afternoon, and it was definitely busy. We had to wait a little while for a table because several tables still needed to be cleaned before they could seat new guests. The staff was incredibly friendly, though, and we were seated as soon as they could. It did take about 15 minutes before a server was able to come over and take our order, but the restaurant was completely packed, so it's something to keep in mind if you're in a hurry. After spending the day at the beach, we were really just in the mood for drinks. I ordered the Blood Orange Margarita, which can be served with Tajín, sea salt, or no rim at all. It was really good and definitely on the stronger side, which I appreciated. My only complaint was that there was a bit too much ice, but the flavor itself was great. The atmosphere is what really makes this place stand out. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, large open windows that let in plenty of fresh air, and a fun, lively vibe that makes it a great place to relax after a beach day. Overall, I'd definitely come back for the ambiance and cocktails, just be prepared for a little wait if you visit during peak hours.

We also got the pork skewers and shared the pork rib sinigang - that sour broth was ideal for cutting through the sweet skewers and adding a really nice variety of flavor profiles to the table. This is a gem in Encinitas.

Service was pretty quick, which I appreciated. They also offer gluten-free cookies and other baked goods, which is a nice bonus. That said, the gluten-free cookie on its own was pretty bland--but I could see it being much better paired with ice cream. One thing to note: they don't really offer a kids size, and when I asked for smaller portions, they said it would still be charged as a regular--so parents of little ones, just a heads up! The ambiance wasn't super inviting--more of a "grab your treat and go" vibe--but with its prime location near the beach, it's easy to see why it stays busy. Overall, still worth checking out!

Not worth the difficult parking…read more Food: 1/5 One flavor is three scoops of ice cream. We ordered two flavors, which was four scoops, hoping we could split the ice cream into two cups so we would each have two scoops. We asked our server if they could split the ice cream for us--just put two Ube Matcha scoops in one cup, two Cookies and Cream scoops in another. This is against company policy, but they were willing to give us a second cup so we can surgically operate on the mixed ice cream and split it ourselves (??). The Matcha Ube was more green tea flavored than matcha or ube. The Cookies and Cream was good. The ice cream--even if three scoops for one flavor--is just not worth the street parking or flavor mashing. There are other better ice cream places. Service: 3/5 Nothing to say or add. No bad news is good news. Atmosphere: 2/5 Holy overstimulation. There were two other families in the ice cream parlor with us, and we were all being serviced at once at the cashier. It's too small of a room to do that. I would recommend this place to kids 12 and under who live down the street and need a quick sweet treat. Final rating: 2/5
