I ordered my husband's 50th birthday cake. It was so cute. Exactly what I wanted and ask for. Service was very nice and the cake was absolutely delicious. The chocolate cake is amazing. Definitely getting another one soon. I love that. You can go in there and try samples and they already have some cakes made that you can just buy and treats. It's wonderful. You must check it out, they will greet you when you come in and ask if there's anything you need it's a quick and easy pick up. If you're just stopping by to grab something sweet we also loved the chocolate dipped cookies the brownies and the lemon bars.
I can't believe I've been a customer now for over 6 years! We consistently buy vegan cakes for our daughters' birthdays here. The cakes are always tasty. We also occasionally order cakes for other family members and pick up vegan treats when available. Alicia and her staff are now in a bigger building in the same complex. The decor is set up really cute inside and she has quite a few non-vegan options. I would call ahead if looking to pick up same day cupcakes. Otherwise, order your cakes with plenty of time in advance to make sure she's not already booked. Thanks for having vegan options!
Best day ever!! thank you again for the delicious, sweet and wonderful cake!! You never disappoint! the cake was so good, moist and the buttercream was perfect!
I've been using the Crimson Cake for years - everything from Cakes to pastries and custom cookies and all have been incredible! The best flavors and moist cakes and the pastries are divine! Alicia and her staff are amazing and SO talented - always have outdone themselves with any custom request I've had! I'll be a client for life!
My recent visit to Crimson Cakes was the best decision I have ever made in regards to a pastry business! The service was friendly, professional and easy to work with. I gave them my theme and examples of what I'd like to include in the design and they were in point! And the high quality ingredients were absolutely amazing! 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!!!
This cake and cupcake place (plus more!) is awesome. I have purchased a cake here before--rather last-minute--for my son's birthday, and they were able to make it look special while being affordable and delicious. Now, three years later, taste and service are still on point. I called ahead to see if they had pre-made cupcakes, I was told yes, so I timed my trip there based on when the mini cupcakes would be available. By the time I got there they were almost sold out (this is on a Saturday)! I'm glad I made it, because the cupcake flavors and presentation were excellent and it was so convenient to be able to pick them up the morning(ish) of the party without ordering ahead. My advice would be to get there early on the weekend though! Cupcakes are moist, flavors delicate and complex, and the piped-in whipped cream in the middle is divine.
Have never seen a more beautiful cake than my son's planets cake. He is obsessed with planets so I ordered this cake a week before his party and was able to get it even more stunning than the photo I saw online. My son doesn't like chocolate cake so he picked berries and cream and it was delicious! Our guests commented on how delicious and not to sweet the cake was. Plus I picked up some gluten free cupcakes at the store for some of our guests, which looked so posh like they were from a bakery in la or something, with flavors like red velvet, mocha, and confetti. Cake is not cheap, but worth it. Especially if you live near Oceanside.
The owner is my massage client and she knows I am vegan and I tell her about how hard it is to find tasty desserts. I had a heck of a bad weekend and was beyond surprised to be gifted handcrafted artistic vegan cupcakes because she loves my massages. Needless to say I was blown away and beyond touched at her kindness and generosity She gifted me a box of 6, 3 different flavors: confetti, vanilla churro and lemon... So far I have only tried the lemon. I love all things lemon! This was beyond exceptional and indescribable and delicious. I don't have enough adjectives to describe how delicious this cupcake was and it was light and fluffy (my experience with prior vegan cupcakes is not great)! The candied lemon on top was so yummy ! Highly recommended cupcakes and skills! Plus the owner is such a sweetheart!
We couldn't have been happier with our wedding cake from The Crimson Cake! They created a beautiful semi-naked three-tier cake that looked exactly like our inspiration photos. The details were done so thoughtfully and it fit our wedding style perfectly. They also offered three different flavors, which our guests absolutely loved and everything tasted just as amazing as it looked. The pricing was very reasonable and the delivery and setup on the wedding day made everything completely stress-free. If you're looking for someone who listens to your vision and brings it to life while creating a delicious cake, I highly recommend The Crimson Cake!
I ordered 2 dozen decorated sugar cookies for my granddaughter's Baptism. It was short notice, but Alicia was able to accommodate me. Not only were the cookies beautifully decorated with four different designs, they tasted amazing! I have included a photo of my favorite design. I don't live in the area, but was very happy to support a local Oceanside, CA business! Highly recommend!
Picked up some sweet treats, they were delicious. The box of 12 was 30, which is very reasonable. I can't wait to come back again!
Awesome bakery here in Oceanside. I purchased the piña colada cake for my daughter's 18 birthday. It was just what my daughter wanted: elegant, light blue with gold accents , and delicious! The frosting, coconut, and pineapple complemented each other beautifully. The ladies were so helpful in the shop--I would have definitely set that cake in my lap if she hadn't said not to, lol! I'm tempted to come back for their other sweet treats that were on display.
Thank you so much Alicia for going above and beyond for us It was a surprise bday party for my sister and she ordered a cake from here for her family to try, I asked Alicia to pretend cancel her order so that I could pick it up for her surprise party instead , and it worked out so amazingly well. She was absolutely blown away by the a surprise and the deliciousness and beauty of the cake You did amazing

Our oven decided to give out right before my husband's birthday brunch today and I remembered I was referred to The Crimson Cake by a local friend but I knew that they normally need to pre-order but I was lucky to find out they have last minute cakes. So I threw myself at their feet and what a perfect decision! My husband loves pink desserts so I told the lady I wanted a sparkly pink cake like a 6yo girl would love. They nailed it! That, and it was as delicious as it was pretty. The staff were so lovely and kind. Highly recommend. read more

Im going to make the boldest statement I've ever made on yelp: This is THE BEST CAKE/dessert shop. EVER. 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. GOODBYE SUSIECAKES. A local baker is San Diego's hero! read more

The Crimson Cake provided the tastiest desserts for my wedding! Their bakery offers a wide variety of cake flavors and mini desserts and all were delicious. 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 Crimson Cake did an amazing job providing great tasting desserts on time for the wedding. I would highly recommend this bakery for any events. read more

The cake was not only gorgeous but delicious and all our guests said so. I would definitely recommend Alicia and absolutely think she did a fabulous job with what I wanted and the execution was beautiful! Everyone was impressed that the hat was edible as well with rice crispy treats helping to keep the shape. The top layer was carrot cake and my friend said it was the best she had ever tasted. My son is allergic to tree nuts so it had none and l thought it was awesome that it's pretty common that Alicia does a lot of cakes without nuts. The bottom layer was red velvet. It was superb! read more

The cake was absolutely beautiful and delicious! It was creamy, moist and very flavorful. My daughter wanted a custom cake (saw a picture online) and they were able to create this masterpiece for her. The communication was amazing from emails and in person. No deposit needed. We paid when we picked up the cake.. The service was great and warming. I highly recommend this business to anyone who wants something special. They delivered a 5+ star review. read more

Alicia is not just a baker. She's an artist. I wanted to order a speciality funfetti cake for my girlfriend who is obsessed with pickleball. I reached out about a month before I needed the cake, and she was quick to reply. I simply told her what I was thinking in terms of vision, and I even sent some pictures I found on Google Images as some inspiration. When I picked up the cake from the shop, she needed to pull out a few other cakes to get to mine. It was like the greatest hits of cakes. If you haven't visited the gallery on the website or visited the Instagram, you're missing out! They can seemly do EVERYTHING. My girlfriend and her entire family were AMAZED by the cake, and with good reason. If you ever need some custom goodies for a special occasion, make Crimson Cake your first call. read more

The Crimson Cake lemon and strawberry cake was super delicious and too beautiful to cut. 5 Stars plus! It was the perfect flavor combination for a warm summer day. Wife ordered a cake for her Mom's 90th birthday celebration, several weeks before picking up. It was ready on-time as promised. The decorations to the cake were spot on, matching the party decor as requested. See attached photos Recommended to family and friends. read more
