SusieCakes in Carlsbad's La Costa Town Square is a women-owned bakery at 7610 Via Campanile that bakes every item from scratch — layer cakes, cupcakes, cookies, and pies — using recipes inspired by the founder's two grandmothers since the brand's 2006 launch. Custom celebration cakes in vanilla, chocolate, red velvet, and carrot serve as centerpieces for weddings, birthdays, and gender reveals, a special-occasion role that aligns with the venue programming at Carlsbad Windmill by Wedgewood Weddings nearby. The San Diego County health department scored the kitchen at 100 out of 100, and gluten-free flourless peanut butter cookies expand the allergen-conscious options beyond what most scratch bakeries offer. SusieCakes also operates a second Carlsbad location at The Forum on Calle Barcelona, and both stores provide corporate catering platters and custom graduation cakes featuring university logos — a celebration supply chain completed by Ohana Creations Floral Designs & Events for coordinated cake-and-floral packages. Signature six-inch and ten-inch layer cakes require 24-hour notice, and the buttercream is whipped in-house from real butter in the bakery's proprietary SusiePink and SusieBlue color formulations for gender-reveal builds.
