Last week was full of fun and we ended summer break 2026 with a bang. Started the week with a long-overdue visit with family and the Noah Kahan concert . Middle of the week we had an 11 year old play an unbelievable, mini concert on his ukulele for all the ladies in the cake shop (on a whim, because his mother asked him to) shout out to Christian - you rock! 🤘 Then…. We ended the weekend with a couple of LEGO cakes for two lucky, VIP kids visiting Legoland . Happy Birthday to Daisy and Legend KATY PERRY

Gorgeous home wedding with a poolside reception. I had to stack this cake and finish the decor in front of a group of little kids. Oh, the commentary as I put the cake together

What people say

Newspaper reviews of The Crimson Cake in Oceanside are mixed, with opinions ranging from enthusiastic praise to lukewarm critiques. A review from the local newspaper dated last month described the cupcakes as "heavenly," highlighting the red velvet and lemon flavors as particularly noteworthy. However, a review from a national newspaper just a week later was less impressed, calling the cupcakes "too sweet" and lacking in flavor complexity.

Online customer reviews largely echoed these sentiments, although there were some notable exceptions. One customer raved about the chocolate ganache cupcake, saying it was "the best cupcake I've ever had!" Another noted that the staff was friendly and accommodating despite being busy.

Overall, it seems that The Crimson Cake has its strengths and weaknesses. While some customers may find their cupcakes too sweet or lacking in depth of flavor, others will no doubt appreciate the indulgent sweetness and classic flavors on offer. As always with food reviews, personal taste is key - but it's clear that The Crimson Cake has at least some passionate fans among its customer base.
