All of our orders have always tasted delicious, came on time and, of course, made so beautifully! I stumbled upon them in IG and ever since I've ordered from them, they have been one of my go-to bakers for custom cakes. The smores flavored cakes are our absolute favorite! It so delicious and rich in flavor. The filling of graham and marshmallow is so good!! Ive also finally tried their ube coconut cake and it was so good as well! However, even though ube is a favorite flavor of mine, the smores definitely surpassed it this time lol oh, and they make great french macaroons and cake pops! Even coco bombs. Amelia and Rose makes them so beautifully with delicate, elegant and pretty designs. You can see more of their work on the IG page if youre curious. Definitely give them a try and you wont be disappointed. They offer order pick-ups at West Orange and they do delivery as well for a fee depending on location. May be a little pricey but so worth it! Cant wait to see when and what our next order will be!

When I needed to plan for my daughter's birthday, it was a no-brainer. Kaylyn was super communicative and helpful; I sent photos of my daughter's party invitation and she did the rest in terms of design. It was simply spectacular! Gorgeous beyond what I could even imagine. She was also helpful in discussing amounts (size of cake, amount of cupcakes, servings and leftovers) to make sure we had plenty without overdoing it. She never tried to get me to order more or spend more, which I respected. The morning of pickup, Kaylyn sent me abundant photos and videos of the cake and cupcakes and I was blown away! She was flexible with pickup at her house, provided cake cutting instructions and storage tips, and made the whole process easy. We received a ton of compliments at the party on how gorgeous the cake and cupcakes were, and the flavors were a hit! As delicious to the tummy as they are to the eye! I will definitely be using Sweetcheeks for our family parties going forward!

I emailed her regarding the order along with a picture for reference. Her replies were always swift with all questions and concerns being addressed. The outcome was a beautiful cake which looked better than the reference picture. The taste was amazing!!! Which I believe is due to the fact that she only works with ganache and not fondant. She even sent an email with storage & cutting instructions. I look forward to placing another order with her!!

Pilar was a pleasure to work with and I look forward to using her services in the future.

I really enjoyed it and would be happy to order a cake or dessert from there in a heartbeat.

First time ordering from this bakery as my go to bakery (down the block) were closed for vacation…read more I read the reviews and looked at the photos and was sold. Ordered a simple cake on Saturday and picked up on Sunday (1/28). I emphasized that I wanted extra guava filing she said "all my cakes are full of filing" . Dominican cake is the only cake i eat because it's moist and it tastes amazing. Not so much with my experience at this bakery. to start, the cake has a significant amount of frosting, was sort of hard (in fact it crumbled as i cut through it), dry and did NOT NOT have much guava filing, AT ALL. The quality of this cake was not of a typical dominican cake. I really wanted to like it but so disappointed and for the $50 price tag, I would say it was NOT worth it at all. Needless to say, that was my first and last time ordering from this bakery. SMH

I placed a cake order a week before my birthday photoshoot and provided a clear reference photo plus detailed instructions to the baker, Elizabeth, over phone and text. I even came in person to pay a $20 deposit because I wasn't comfortable giving my card over the phone. What I requested was simple: A white, heart-shaped cake with pearls, curtain detailing, black bows, and elegant black cursive writing that said "Chapter 30." Unfortunately, what I received looked nothing like what I asked for. * Photo 1: What I asked for * Photo 2: First attempt -- extremely disappointing * Photo 3: Second attempt -- still not what I asked for When I came to pick up the cake, I was visibly disappointed. The tall male supervisor apologized and told me, "I'll see if we can fix it. Please come back in the morning." I explained how inconvenient it was to come three separate times for one cake: once for the deposit, once for pickup, and again because of their poor quality. He assured me that the supervisor, Corrine, would call me the next morning about the revision and compensation for the inconvenience. That call never came. On the morning of my photoshoot, I had to call THEM to find out if the cake had even been fixed. Corrine sent a photo of the revised cake, and it still looked unprofessional. She said I would receive a refund if I remained unhappy -- yet I never received my apology, and I still never received my $20 refund. I'm sharing this review so others are aware. This bakery used to represent quality, but clearly that standard no longer exists. After showing the photos to friends and family, several revealed they've had similar disappointing experiences recently as well. The most embarrassing part? My mother named me after this bakery because of its reputation and legacy in Newark. After this experience, that association feels more embarrassing than meaningful. Calandra's bakery, do better. Your long-time loyal customers deserve far more respect and care than this.
