Sweet Cheeks Baking Company

We love helping our clients plan for their wedding, so when they’re wedding is especially unique and incorporates their culture, we get even more excited to cater to their wishes.  This was exactly the case for a recent Indian wedding of ours.  For this special couple, we made a cake with a traditional Mendhi (Indian) design in red icing on fondant.  The flavor: a delicious citrus cake with passion fruit curd and lemon butter cream!

Besides being delicious, the cake fit perfectly with the couple’s Indian-themed wedding day.  The day also gave us the opportunity for a fun photo shoot, complete with elephants and elegance!  To see more of these images, check out the following magazines, which will feature the wedding in upcoming issues:

:: South Asian Bride
:: Maharani Weddings

Check out this  video to see how Cupcake weddings are fun and can be as beautiful & festive as wedding cakes when you let your bakery be creative.

Fortunate enough to be asked by Nancy & Kyung to create the cupcake tower of their dreams, we feel so privileged to have been a part of their special day at the Ocean Beach Villas.  RA Creations Video made a beautiful wedding video for them, and they featured the cupcakes more than once…NOW we feel special!  Thanks Ruben!

DeShai Roberson of Oh So Chic Events coordinated the day beautifully, as you can tell by the level of calm on the bride & groom’s faces.  Nancy’s dress is magnificent lace, and the detailing in the floral pattern is mimicked in the top tier cake that they cut for the ceremony.  That’s the way to make cupcakes look delicious and beautiful without spending a fortune!

 

 

 

Blessed are we for having such amazingly fun industry friends!

Julie & Mick Scrivener celebrated their 10-year Wedding Anniversary with a VOW RENEWAL to “CHOOSE LIFE,” as the all-pink 80′s tees read, at the Culy Warehouse in Downtown San Diego. What a blast!
As owners of the famed Elite British DJ and coordinating company The Best Wedding For You, these two have built a great following in both clients & friends to last a lifetime of photos, but here are a few to enjoy from this special night.

We danced the night away with many pink-laden friends, most of whom were carefully hidden from photographic view by sheer luck…(wink-wink-nudge-nudge, Liz and Kevin….)

Mick’s surprise “Cat in the Toilet Bowl” cake to Julie was a red velvet hit at the party! Apparently a nod to their loveable kitties at home who believe that water bowls are a thing of the past. So glad we could add some humor to their already joyous occasion.  Welcome the white chocolate PORTMAN, the PINK KITTY.

Hope the African safari is treating you well, Newly-reweds!
Thanks for sharing such a fabulously fun party!

Cake by Sweet Cheeks Baking Co…uh, duh.

Victoria surely surprised her new groom Gavin at their wedding with their now famous SPAM cake! What a riot they are! We were so thrilled to make this cake for them that we dove into it with abandon and gave them a screaming deal. So many people have seen our initial post with the photos but thought it was just photos of SPAM cans, so we decided we needed to blog it briefly with the real shots we now have of this beautiful couple and their (2) cakes from our talented friends at TRUE Photography! Thanks to Gavin for using his sword to cut the Vanilla Sour Cream Cake with Slow-Cooked Chocolate Fudge, he made it all too much fun.

 

The happy couple and their elegant wedding cake:

Letter from the Bride:
“Elaine,
We received our wedding photographs and I just wanted to send a few your way! Gavin was so surprised with his Spam Cake and let me tell you, it is REALLY hard to surprise a Marine haha
Everyone loved it and it was one of the highlights of our wedding Well it was probably THE highlight of the wedding, but I would like to think my walk down the aisle was haha
Thank you again for everything! And we have decided each anniversary we are having one of your Spam Cakes! So I hope it wasn’t too much trouble,

Victoria”

At Sweet Cheeks Baking Co. we love grooms who get involved and so rarely find one like Uly. In addition to helping his gorgeous bride to design most of the reception setting, he sent us one of the most lovely, to the point, and gracious notes of thanks from a groom that we’ve ever had. While we get wonderful notes all the time from happy couples, we have never before posted them to our site…rather, they grace the hall bulletin board of our bake shop.

Today, an exception, I am including this nice note from the newly married Ulysses and Ala, truly one of the nicest couples we’ve met in a long time! They were married recently at the Estancia La Jolla - always a happy place for weddings – and were guided along by Alexandra Roselee Hatcher as coordinator. Aqua Photography provided their amazing shooting skills…
Their design was based on a beautiful invitation designed for them by Pink Star Designs the manazanita trees and bird houses that filled the ballroom…amazing floral branches with cascading crystals designed by Patrick Higgins of Artistic Florals & Plants!

“Elaine, Donna,

What an amazing cake! It was a remarkable hit at the wedding – the decoration was artistically perfect and the combination of flavors were yummy! We enjoyed working with you to make a memorable wedding cake – hopefully, the design can spark some additional business for you in the future.

Thanks!

Ulysses & Ala”

Maybe it’s time to start posting more of these amazing notes that we receive! We are so lucky to work for so many amazing clients!

Some of our recent San Diego wedding cake clients had wonderful things to say about Sweet Cheeks Baking Co. We love our jobs, and it just pays off when we get to work for awesome people!

Wow, what a stunning display of creativity and regal elegance at the US Grant Hotel this past week for their annual wedding show! It truly was “A Royal Affair” with radiant hues of silver & gold, blues, and jewels tones.

We teamed up with 3 different booths. Our main focus was on the British Royal Family theme, where we worked with incredible talent in vendors:
* coordinated by Liz Beck www.lizbeckevents.com
* beautiful florals by Dawn Stone www.embellishmint.com
* contemporary seating by www.koolpartyrentals.com
* vintage seating by Hire Elegance
* plateware and silver pieces from various San Diego vintage shops (found by the resourceful Liz Beck, of course)
* photos by Braja Mandala www.mandalaweddings.com & Gene Higa

Even though we couldn’t get Liz to wear the giant red velvet hat with the leopard skin trim, we still felt it was a pretty special setting…
