Sweetcheeks Baking Co. is one of the competitors for the NBC Throws a Wedding at the Prado event in October 2009. The ladies there are friendly and creative – and truly enjoy their jobs! They were working on a huge cake while I was there, and they excitedly showed me all the various elements they had been working on prior to assembly. They are truly passionate about their job, and it shows!
This is the cake they’ve designed for Stefanie and Jerry, the lucky winners for the wedding!

This zoo-themed cake was for triplets. The attention to detail is impressive – from the sugar animals, to the scaly snake with a forked tongue, to the chocolate palm tree topper!

I had a “heavenly” time visiting San Diego’s Heavenly Cupcake store in the beautiful East Village.
They have a cool retro, whimsical look throughout, including a fun lounge area to hang out and enjoy a cupcake or two. They feature many different flavors, with varying daily selections. I think the red velvet with cream cheese frosting was my favorite, but it was a tough call! They have “minis”, too. AND – for weddings, Heavenly Cupcake makes cool cupcake tiers that are very fun!
Below are some images from my tour.
Isn’t the “lounge” cute?
And this is Rosemary and her husband who run the show!
