We thought we'd try Little Cakes Kitchen, so we ordered the half-dozen box of assorted cupcakes. They were delivered through DoorDash. We knew we were not able to pick our flavors by ordering this way, but figured Little Cakes would send a representative sample, which I assume they did. I'm not sure which flavors were in our box because they weren't labeled. I wanted to know what we were eating, but I had to dig through many past reviews to identify most of them. The 6 flavors received in the 1/2-dozen box were: * Vanilla * Chocolate * Almond Champagne * German Chocolate * Something Marshmallow-Topped * Something Chocolate--Topped with Thin Vanilla Icing and Vanilla Buttercream All the cupcakes were of average size and were decorated nicely enough. Albeit the cake part on all the cakes were a bit dry. It was difficult to discern a specific flavor on a few, so I've come to the conclusion that garnishing must be their gift. Most of the 'vanilla' flavors, were indistinguishable in flavor from one another, except for the Almond Champagne, which had a cloying almond paste filling, and too much filling to cake ratio. Of particular concern was that the frosting on all seemed to be off in ratios of butter to shortening. I suspect there was an over abundance of shortening in all the cupcakes, which to me, is not palatable, nor is it delicious or anything resembling what a good cupcake should be. They miss the mark in my opinion. Due to the high prices and the fact that the frosting on all the cupcakes was cloying and poorly prepared with what I suspect was too much shortening, and not enough icing sugar, I would likely not buy cupcakes from Little Cakes Kitchen again.

I finally decided to head out to north county to try these since I do follow this business social…read moremedia and I was not disappointed at all!! Things bought: Raspados (1 fresas cremosas and 1 strawberry), elotes puercos, equites, and some pan). Food: Raspados flavors were really good and not watered down at all. What I liked about these raspados was that the ice doesn't melt fast and nice ice texture unlike other spots I've tried in SD county. The esquite has been one of the best I've ever found here in SD county (I've tried so many trying to find the right one since moving here 9 yrs ago!). Fresh corn, perfect amount of cheese with great taste, and just delicious. Elotes puercos had this sauce that I wish it was offered in the esquites as a flavor. PLEASE NEVER CHANGE THE RECIPE of this sauce!!! I tried 3 different types of pan (cochinito, oreja, and this white yellowish ball). The cochinito had a strong after taste that I didn't enjoy. Oreja was ok and I actually did eat, would of liked more of the glaze on it. The white yellow ball had no flavor at all (I'm assuming it was butter with sugar but still no flavor) but the bread itself was tasteless as well. Ambiance: Pretty clean and organized, bright pretty color tones. Customer service: Was greeted as soon as entering and every employee was very attentive and with a friendly attitude. Great job to all of you! I will definitely come visit again, I don't care that your location is about 1hr away, THIS SPOT IS WORTH IT. Please open one down south area in SD County.

They also have different options of things to add to it from graham crackers, candies, and syrups. The ice cream is more creamy than typical ice cream. It's also pretty neat to watch as they don't just put the extra things on top, but rather mix it in to the ice cream itself. I got the strawberry and sweet cream together, mixed with graham crackers pie crust, strawberries, and a whipped topping. It came out super good! The staff there were really nice and helpful. Not to mention patient with me haha. There's no places to sit inside but there are some benches surrounding the store.

We tried a chocolate, a lemon, a vanilla bean, an espresso, and a marble cake. It was crazy that they were all my favorite. It was nearly impossible to choose. The buttercream frosting was incredibly smooth and the blend of the flavors were just incredible. They also make all of their own pastries and syrups and all that jazz. If you are in the mood for a coffee or tea, they also serve that. Just do yourself a favor and check this place out. Really cute, quaint, and they are just getting started too!

They were super kind and read me the list and this one stood out to me. It was vanilla bean with custard and pears! As a person who's not a big chocolate fan, it's so hard to find desserts where chocolate isn't involved. But Crimson Cake does so many variations that I had so many choices, but this one was a winner and I don't know that I wouldn't continually order it. Try it!!! Oh, and look how beautiful!!!

I have had amazing cake shops in Los Angeles (sweet lady Jane, Porto's, even the tom cruise cake) but this place makes the most amazing, consistently delicious cakes. I dream about the moment there's another event that needs a cake so I can bring some from Crimson cake. I love their cakes so much I ordered a full cake tasting so I can try different flavors. My top favorites: 1. Chocolate with chocolate mousse (it's insanely perfect and great for freezing small pieces and bringing it out to nibble. Also equally love chocolate with fresh strawberries but just doesn't last as long in the fridge. 2. Black Forest cake - decadent chocolate with fresh raspberries that cut the chocolate decadence with the perfect balance 3. Pineapple and coconut- anyone who loves this combo will LOVE this cake. My husband's favorite. 4. Red velvet - not overly sweet exactly how I love it. The other favors I've tried that were decent were carrot cake, pistachio raspberry, almond raspberry. Pistachio flavor is super subtle. Carrot cake was not as moist as other carrot cakes I've had and almond raspberry couldn't taste much almond. Service is great and always good communication. They even made sure to load my car with items I've over based over the past year. Location is in a business park area so never had an issue finding parking. Crimson Cake will be my forever cake shop.

Whether I'm picking up a cake for a birthday, holiday, or just because, they've never let me down. Most recently, I stopped in for a last minute Father's Day gift and picked up one of their two bundtlet towers. The recipient absolutely loved it, which wasn't surprising. Their cakes are always incredibly moist, and the cream cheese frosting is so good. I enjoy all of their flavors, but I especially look forward to the seasonal and limited time offerings. The new Peach Cobbler flavor was amazing, and I really enjoyed the seasonal S'mores flavor as well. Every order I've placed has been accurate and ready on time. The employees are friendly, the shop is always clean, and it smells amazing the second you walk through the door. There's plenty of parking available, although the shopping center can get pretty busy. This is one of my go to places for gifts, celebrations, and sweet treats. I'll definitely keep coming back.

Despite the café not being busy, it took an unnecessarily long time to receive both my food and drinks. When my order was finally ready, the staff repeatedly screamed my name across the café while I was in the middle of a conversation. It was bizarre, aggressive, and very off putting. To make matters worse, when I realized I had ordered the wrong sandwich, I also noticed the texture and color of the egg. It was extremely watery and gray on the inside! I tried to switch the sandwich out and the employees shrugged and said, "that's what you ordered." They weren't wrong, it was what I ordered, and I won't order from Skybound again. Between the slow service, uncomfortable interaction, poor food quality, and dismissive attitude from the staff, the entire experience left a bad impression. Unfortunately, Skybound missed the mark on every level. There are plenty of other coffee shops that offer better service, better food, and a more welcoming atmosphere. I won't be back.
