Sweet Cheeks Baking Co is a women-owned team of super talented people! We pride ourselves on quality in all aspects — from great customer service, to healthy infusions in the product, to the highest level of flavor in every bite. We buy many of our ingredients from local farmers, use eggs from local/veggie-fed chickens, and even deliver in a Hybrid vehicle. We incorporate fun into our baking world and do our best to share our positive energy with the industry and our clients. After all, cake is supposed to be fun and delicious!
Cake trends vary in color and design. The current trend is towards either super clean lines (often the most challenging décor due to its need for perfection) or rustic-vintage outdoorsy designs (a’ la Anthropologie, like the birdies in a nest as a cake topper, below).
Our design style is personalized to each client, and customized to their vision and personalities. My personal focus lies in nature, and its amazing opportunities for spiraling vines, leaves, feathers, and anything that creeps up a cake in a cool way.
Since our cake flavors are all custom combined by our clients, it is hard to say which is most popular. It’s probably a toss-up between our Fresh Banana Cake with Peanut Butter Mousse & Slow Cooked Chocolate Fudge, frosted in Italian Butter Cream or our Sunshine Raspberry Swirl with Raspberry Curd & Lemon Butter Cream.
We believe that the most important part of the cake (especially to most grooms) is the TASTE. We want to be sure that clients choose us because they love the cake. Great design can be done any time after they’ve chosen our product and have budgeted accordingly!
For Ashley and Derrick’s wedding at the Hilton Bayfront, we were given a great chance to express both their excitement for modern lines with fabulous embellishment. This cake, with its dangling crystals and mod square layout, utilized edible silver pearls and gorgeous hand painted scroll décor. They selected two delicious flavor combos for their tiers of So Cal Citrus Cake with Lemon Curd as well as the Red Velvet cake with Cream Cheese filling.
We tend to charge based on the size of a cake, which on average is $6.50 to $8 per person. Some designs, based on lengthy labor hours involved, can jump to $10 or even $12 to $15 per person. Rather than having a large cake, many clients opt for a fun buffet of mixed mini desserts, which average closer to $3.25-5 per person. We create dessert buffets at least once each weekend with separated cakes, cupcakes, mini key lime tarts, crystal sugar cookies, mini cannoli, and various yummy cake bites.
We make brilliant groom’s cakes, and love creating them to fit the passion of a groom! The groom’s cake is often a surprise planned by the bride or by his parents. The groom’s cake should represent his style, his love outside of his obvious love for his bride – cars, sports, movies, beverages, pets, music, etc. Many people choose to give this cake its own focus by featuring it at the Rehearsal Dinner vs. competing with the main cake on their wedding day. The groom’s cake is typically a totally different flavor from wedding cake, to offer something fun, unique, and super cool.
We offer many fabulous footed pedestals for cake and cupcake displays, and have also created many custom stands by utilizing fellow vendors such Enticing Tables Designs and Embellishmint Floral & Event Design! We charge anywhere from $10 to $75 for such displays.
