Carey K. Sent on 07/08/2022Wedding cake of my dreams!!!
For my wedding, I was blessed with an INCREDIBLE, MAGNIFICENT, FANTASTIC, BEAUTIFUL experience of working with Elaine from Sweet Cheeks Baking Co.!!! Elaine just GOT ME! I swear, in another life, me and her were sisters! She got my sense of humor as well as my vision! I gave her a rough idea of my hopes and dreams in cake form, and she put into reality (with her extraordinary team of bakers and artists) the wedding cake of my dreams! Elaine provided drawings and pictures and the funniest emails EVER to really make sure I was confident in what they would create! And boy oh boy did they deliver! They also allowed me to rent a gorgeous cake stand that matched the cake style perfectly, and safely delivered and setup the cake (or delicious artistic masterpiece, I should say) to absolute perfection!! When I saw the cake, I was over the moon! I didn't have to compromise in the slightest, it was EVERYTHING, and then some! Elaine... I LOVE YOU and your team! Thank you for all you did for me and Adam! We are so lucky we had Sweet Cheeks as part of our wedding! HUGS!!!! xoxo
Also…. I almost forgot to mention, we had the Triple Chocolate and the Fresh Lemon Berry cake! Both were very loved by our guests and we purchased for 124 attendees (which was or original guest count, but only 105 ended up coming). The only thing I would change would be actually getting some cake! Other than the bite we got for the cutting, Adam and I didn’t get any cake! I guess the guests loved it so much they ate it all!!!

Scrumptious!
The Sweet Cheeks Bakery team provided our wedding guests with scrumptious cupcakes! We had a simple, single tiered cake to ourselves. Our cake flavor was Smashing Pumpkin, and our cupcakes were Smashing Pumpkin, Fresh Lemon Berry, and Triple Chocolate Darkness.The cake itself was a perfect blend of pumpkin and cream cheese; it was so delicious! As for the cupcakes, our guests kept going back for more!
Because of the pandemic, our cake tasting involved us picking up the samples and trying them at home. The process was easy and Candace was super welcoming when I arrived. We also decided to rent cupcake stands through Sweet Cheeks. The team was great about providing options for us to choose from.
After our wedding, we returned all the rented stands at the bakery. Our dog was waiting in the car, and Elaine came out to say hi to us and our dog, and we chatted about our wedding. It was so nice of her to come out and see how our day went!
We would definitely order from Sweet Cheeks Bakery again!Sweet Cheeks Baking Company's reply:
Oh my gosh, Kristin, I somehow missed seeing your lovely review - THANK YOU! Yes, was super fun to get to talk with you guys afterwards and meet your pup... We are huge dog fans here! The Smashing Pumpkin is SOOOO good, I'm so happy it made your day extra delicious! We look forward to hearing from you again for a future fun party.

Delicious!
Our cake was absolutely stunning and everything we had hoped for! Besides getting married the thing I looked most forward to one our wedding day was the cake! I had been dreaming/thinking about it since we had our tasting! All of our guests raved about how delicious the cake was. I would highly recommend getting your wedding cake from here not only are they beautiful but the taste is amazing and will leave your guests talking about it.Sweet Cheeks Baking Company's reply:
Wow Simone, we're so happy to hear this and so appreciative that you took the time to write such a wonderful 5* review for us! I got to deliver your cake myself that day, and it really feels good to know you loved it.
You chose some of the best flavors: Triple Chocolate, Marbled with Love, and Tiramisu are all popular and delicious!
We hope to create something for you & Kyle again in the future, please stay in touch.

Best bakery ever!!
I can’t thank Lauren and her team at SweetCheeks enough! I had a very specific wedding cake in mind and when I contacted other vendors they either told me it was not possible or it would be very hard to make. But when I contacted Lauren she was willing to do anything to help me make my dream cake come true! She even drew me a picture of what my cake would look like and I was super excited to see the cake in real life! The whole team was very professional and super kind throughout the whole process! I ended up having faux cake for show which came out exactly the way I imagined and backup cakes to eat. The groom’s favorite was “Marbled with love” and mine was “the Sicilian.” We ordered extra big cakes so we could have two slices! I’m just sad I couldn’t eat 3 slices that night! Even my dad had 2 slices and everyone complimented on how delicious the cake was! Thank you so so much SweetCheeks!Sweet Cheeks Baking Company's reply:
Dear Jin, what an absolute HONOR to create something so beautiful and delicious for your wedding day at the Westgate Hotel!!! Thank you for your wonderful 5* review, we greatly appreciate it.
Yes, the Sicilian and the Marbled with Love are two of our favorite flavors as well, sounds like a magical late night snack for you!
Your cake required an extensive effort on site, but what a COOL result - I was the fortunate one to set it all up with the flowers. So beautiful, thank you for giving us such a lovely design to show off for you!

Brianna B. Sent on 03/17/2021Best Cake Choice!
Sweet Cheeks did our wedding cake and it was amazing!! They were so helpful from the start and every cake we tested was delicious. We went with a lemon cake and all of our guests loved it, not to mention it was decorated beautifully. I would absolutely recommend them for any wedding!Sweet Cheeks Baking Company's reply:
Yayyy Brianna, thank you so much for sharing how happy you were with your Lemon Berry Cake! I remember that day, setting up your cake at the Prado back patio, and it was one of the few amazing weddings we got to witness this past crazy year. Thank you again, you are a gem!

Cathy O. Sent on 01/19/2020Incredible Cake
We live in the Sacramento, CA area and had planned a small destination wedding in San Diego. We relied solely on reviews to pick our vendors for the event. From my first contact to my very last, everyone I dealt with was so helpful, polite and accommodating. I had a very vague idea of what I wanted, but after speaking with Elaine and answering a few questions, she came up with a beautiful design which fit us perfectly. Her creativity and expertise showed in the simple but elegant design which matched elements of my dress. She is truly an artist. The cake was so delicious, moist, creamy and the tiramisu filling was incredible. Elaine and crew deserve a "10" in our book!Sweet Cheeks Baking Company's reply:
Cathy, what a DREAM you were to work for, we can only say "THANKS TO YOU" for letting us play a small part of this very beautiful occasion! You gave us a very cool dress design (mid-century white on white, tre chic!), so that certainly made our job easier. I commend Britt, our decorator who completed the job for you with her attention to detail & pearl. Lovely! Yum, so glad you loved the Tiramisu cake!
Thanks so much again, we hope you'll reach out to us next time you know someone is San Diego who needs delicious sweets!

Kristen L. Sent on 09/01/2019The Sweetest Wedding Day!
From start to finish, Sweet Cheeks baking made our wedding dreams a reality! Elaine and her entire staff were so amazing throughout the entire process from selecting wedding cake flavors, to design to delivery. They are an incredible team and it shows through the service you receive. Elaine and her team helped us design a unique hand-painted wedding cake for our reception and a wonderful Groom’s Cake surprise for my husband during our friends and family after-party. The cake itself – let’s just say DELICIOUS!...And we visited a few bakeries for taste testings in the area before making our final selection. Hands down – Sweet Cheeks far surpassed the rest. Our guests ranted and raved about the taste of the cake! Elaine and her Sweet Cheeks team absolutely nailed it! Your clear and only choice for the most important day of your life is Sweet Cheeks Baking! You will not be disappointed!Sweet Cheeks Baking Company's reply:
Wow, THANK YOU Kristen!!! What an honor, we just loved working with you. We wish you all the best in life together ♥️♥️♥️ -

Melissa Sent on 06/22/2019Yummy wedding cake and mini desserts
We used Sweet Cheeks for our wedding cake and desserts as they were part of our wedding package at Lomas Santa Fe Country Club. Our cake was beautiful and our mini desserts super cute! The quality of their cake and desserts is excellent. All of our guests enjoyed the cake and desserts. Although my husband and I didn't get to taste too many desserts during our wedding, during our pre-wedding tasting, we were impressed!Sweet Cheeks Baking Company's reply:
Wonderful news, Melissa!
Sounds like you need to come back in some time and get some more treats for yourselves... We'd love to see you again.
I'm so happy that you loved everything, thank you very much for your great review!

Erin Sent on 01/25/2019Beautiful, fun wedding cake!
We had a casual wedding celebration, and wanted our cake to reflect that. I didn't give too much direction so that I would be a bit surprised, and they did such a wonderful job!! We had funfetti and vanilla/chocolate marble as different tiers, and guests raved that both tasted amazing. Sweet Cheeks did an amazing job and were super easy to work with remotely.Sweet Cheeks Baking Company's reply:
YESSSSSS...!! So great to see your wonderful review, thank you Erin! You picked such fun flavors to match your fun-spirited celebration, I'm thrilled that you loved your experience and your cake.
Wishing you so much happiness, love, and health for a future together!

Kristen Sent on 09/27/2013Though it’s not done often out here on the West Coast, I wanted to get my husband a surprise Groom’s cake for our wedding! I have a friend in the industry, and she said that Sweet Cheeks was the best place for me – I am so happy I listened!
My contact via e-mail was Kristy, and she was prompt, specific, and courteous, which were all things I was looking for in a vendor. I had very specific design ideas, and after Kristy helped me understand pricing, she scheduled me to come in for a tasting.
Choosing to hire Sweet Cheeks Bakery is the easy part – the only complicated part is deciding on flavors! I met with Elaine, who is charming and amazingly helpful. She even sketched out my Pac Man and Ms. Pac Man design (using a variety of colored pencils), and took very specific notes to ensure the bakers and designers understood my wishes. She even gave me the excellent idea of using books in lieu of a cake plate! I chose some well-known financial and leadership books from home that really described my husband, and they made for a colorful, personal addition to the presentation.
After much tasting and deliberation, I selected the Vanilla Bean Sour Cream cake, with a filling of Cinnamon Spiced Cream Cheese, and the Pistachio Butter Cream Frosting (which is very subtle). I cannot recommend the Cinnamon Spiced Cream Cheese enough – it definitely MADE the cake, and added such a wonderful flavor.
The ladies at Sweet Cheeks were an absolute joy to work with, and their product was simply incredible. Everyone at our wedding loved looking at the “Pac Man Cake,” though only a select few got to try it. ;)
This bakery is absolutely worth the money – give them a shot, you will be so glad you did!
Sweet Cheeks Baking Company's reply:
Yay, Spiced Cream Cheese and PacMan!!! Thank you, Kristen! -
Ashleigh Sent on 05/28/2018The cake was AMAZING! Everything was exactly what I envisioned but I didn't even have to tell you of course! Again thank you so much Lauren for all of your advice & helping me find Korie! My "best day ever" would not have happened without the team of vendors you referred us to. It was a pleasure meeting with you to discuss cake design. Again thank you and your team!
Sweet Cheeks Baking Company's reply:
Dear Ashleigh, We're so thrilled to see your wonderful review, thank you for trusting us to help create your wedding magic and for introducing you to one of our favorite wedding coordinators at Bliss Events! Korie is awesome, as is our Lauren. Wishing you all the best in your future together!

Sharon Sent on 01/20/2018We met Lauren when we came for a consult and to pick up our tasting. She is so sweet and genuine that we left hoping we would like the samples because we liked her so much more than the people we’d met at another option. Lauren sketched a quick beautiful cake and was willing to add our florals which was a big plus for us since I was hoping to do the décor myself without hiring a florist. Fortunately, the samples were fantastic, and Lauren was great over email with recommendations for complimentary flavors to help us make final decisions. We ended up with tiramisu cake with the white chocolate mouse & chocolate whip and citrus cake with lemon buttercream & raspberry buttercream/crème. Our cake was so delicious that after the cake cutting and a bite each, we ended up standing by the cake table and devouring the entire piece. At our table, we later enjoyed both flavors and my mouth waters when I see the pictures. Thank you Sweet Cheeks and especially Lauren!
Sweet Cheeks Baking Company's reply:
Dear Sharon, we are over the MOON with your wonderful review, thank you for sharing your love for us! Lauren's heart grew 3 times when she read it. So great, thank you again. -

Tiffany Sent on 03/28/2017Lauren at Sweet Cheeks was a doll to work with. From the tasting to the day of the wedding, she was just tops! The cake itself was delicious and beautiful. She used real flowers from my florist to decorate the cake and did an amazing job with placement. I love the choices of flavors for the cake itself, and the filling. The guests all commented on how GREAT the cake was. Lauren also went out of her way to make sure my display was gorgeous. We had mini fruit tarts and brownies in addition to the cake and she took over making the whole table display just lovely! Thanks so much, Lauren!Sweet Cheeks Baking Company's reply:
You're so LOVELY for saying so, thank you! I just read your review to Lauren, and it made her day...yayyy! I'll also tell our amazing bakers who make everything so delicious, and they will be equally psyched. Many congratulations!!!
Elaine
