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.

My idea of vacation. About to whoop some brush a$$ with my adorable chainsaw. I’m using our brush trees to fill in the sides of my new raised beds.

The Passionate Piekarza is another local Escondido bakery. Dawn taught me how to can and has been a friend of mine for years.

If you need some bread or cookies please consider helping her fundraiser for a local man that just lost his leg today.

💛 Baking for a Cause 💛
Friends and family – my heart is heavy today. A dear friend’s son - 20 years old - was in a serious motorcycle accident a few weeks ago. After several surgeries and a tough road of healing, the doctors made the difficult decision to amputate his leg earlier today.

In support of this incredibly strong young man and his family, I’ll be baking with extra love this week – fresh breads, cinnamon rolls, brownies, and chocolate chip cookies – and 100% of the profits will be donated directly to his recovery and ongoing care.

This is more than just a bake sale – it’s a way to lift up a family going through unimaginable pain. If you’ve ever enjoyed something from my kitchen, please consider placing an order or simply sharing this post.

💛 Let’s rally together and show Jeff, Ana and Jordan Pitt some love! Please text or message me for orders or details.

With love,
The Passionate Piekarza

They were divine. 🥂 🍾

Had an ad come across my profile for a new composting company in Carlsbad. Looks to be a promising product. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61577787845177&mibextid=wwXIfr

We collect scraps from local restaurants in North County, San Diego and turn them into compost. No farms. No fluff. Just damn good dirt made from food that didn’t need to be wasted. Born in Carlsbad.
