Sweet Cheeks Homestead

Sweet Cheeks Homestead Custom decorated sugar cookies and sweet gifts. Baking, Decorated Sweets, Canning. Welcome to My Farm

I have always been a baker. Homestead?

I started decorating cakes in high school while I worked at a bakery. I LOVE making treats for friends and family. Each year at Christmas, my counters are full of yummy cookies and other fun treats. Alas, I went and became an attorney and my passion for baking stayed merely a hobby, until now. I really wanted a bakery so that I could continue to create art with my decorating skills, and see the ha

ppy smiles of the people that get to share my creations. I have spent a lot of time studying and refining my artistry. Having a cottage bakery has allowed me the freedom to truly showcase my work, and create amazing experiences for my clients. I do a LOT of research for my clients when I prepare a proposal and I regularly check little details so that each order is a purely custom experience. I take pride in my work, from a superior tasting cookie, to intricate artwork, to gorgeous packaging; when you get cookies from Sweet Cheeks Homestead, they stand out and taste delicious. My little bakery has given me so much joy and I want each client to experience the same feeling. Since I was a little girl, I always wanted to live on a farm. My grandmother grew up in Kansas during the Great Depression. She told me stories of farming and what it was like for their family living on a homestead. Later they moved to a farm in California and grew apples. Each year, we would drive by the farm they used to own, and my grandmother and mom would point out where they played and enjoyed each other’s company. I wanted that exact same thing for my family. We moved to Sweet Cheeks Homestead, in North San Diego County, in 2013. We grow organic produce: blackberries, tangerines, oranges, lemons, pomegranates, persimmons [when the squirrels do not steal them first], and all the veggies you can imagine. I regularly can and sell my jams and salsas. If you want a real treat… ask for some of your cookies to be my signature blackberry chocolate chip recipe.

I am excited to announce that No More Boring Cakes will be our FIRST featured instructor at Sweet Cheeks General Store. Please register for her class at the link below.

This is a fantastic opportunity to learn from an absolute master of fondant cakes.

We are so excited to have her.

From Jen:

It is with great excitement that I get to share a new business collaboration between No More Boring Cakes and Sweet Cheeks Homestead!

After I moved out of my last commercial storefront in 2023 where I taught classes on a monthly basis - I was really missing the teaching aspect of my business. I've looked at more than a dozen locations, but none were the right fit. I didn't lose hope, I just knew the right thing would come along at the right time.

At the beginning of the year when I updated my website, I placed an empty image placeholder for '2026 coming soon cake decorating class location". I did that in anticipation for finding the right place or partnership. Now I get to fill up that placeholder with an actual image and add this new venture to my long 17-year story. See placeholder here:

https://www.nomoreboringcakes.com/mystory

I have been incredibly lucky over the years to have great opportunities come to me with little to no effort. As you read my story, this has occurred time and time again. A couple weeks ago, I received a message from Christina Stendall a local cottage food baker (whom I had never met in person) inviting me to collaborate with her in her brand-new commercial storefront to teach classes! We met last week and had a 2.5-hour meeting that went spectacularly well! It's such a beautiful thing when 2 people are on the similar path and are willing to support one another instead of squabble over customers while being in the same industry, etc.

As of July 12th, I will begin teaching fondant cake decorating classes at her beautiful community orientated space on the border of San Marcos/Escondido. I have released the July class information on my website
(https://www.nomoreboringcakes.com/class) and will be releasing the classes that will take place monthly thru the end of the year in the coming days as well.

Classes will be limited to 6 students.

I am truly grateful once again for this invitation and I believe that both of our businesses will grow exponentially as we support one another and be an example to the community of 2 bakery businesses coming together to move each other forward. I am excited to see what fun and innovative ideas unfold in Sweet Cheeks Homestead new space.

GOOD STUFF ALL AROUND!
