A darling corner café, Curshcakes Cupcakery has a clever and cute saying, "You never forget your first crush." We stumbled upon it while driving on Anacapa towards downtown, and since we love cupcakes we had to pay this place a visit. On our first trip there, they had closed early because they had sold out. A good sign of their popularity. So we returned the following Saturday, earlier in the afternoon to maker sure we could purchase a few treats. 
The store is small and quaint, with bar seating inside and tables and chairs outside. A few beverages are available, as well as peace offerings merchandise. You can see the kitchen past the front counter and smell the sweet, freshly baked cupcakes. Cupcakes are grouped together by flavor and displayed on glass cake stands of varying heights. With a few flavors to choose from, we decided on crumbcake, cookies and cream, peanut butter, lemon drop, and the signature crushcake (red velvet).
Strawberry Blush looked so delicate and sweet :) 
More cupcakes. So many flavors to fill my tummy.
The atmosphere was real mellow so we enjoyed a cupcake on their outdoor seating. 
My favorite had to be the peanut butter cupcake. Its frosting has just the right amount of sweetness to the light and fluffy cupcake, and the texture plays very well with each bite.
My love getting ready to enjoy the lemon drop cupcake. Lemon drops are my favorite drink so I was really looking forward to the taste.
One bite and I was hooked. Light lemon flavor for the cake and just the right amount of tart for the frosting. Mmm.We enjoyed all the cupcakes we purchased and really like all of the classic flavors available. It's great to know that Crushcakes caters so we are considering them as a vendor. I know the cupcake craze has died down considerably, but I still love them :) Plus, how could I forget my first crush?
