Cheat Day Sweets made cupcakes for our wedding dessert table, and they were beyond what we could have hoped for. Very affordable and extremely delicious! Melissa even helped us decorate the cutting cake and dessert table when she arrived. We had so many compliments about them from our guests!
Mitch & Becca
Cheat Day Sweets put together a dessert bar for our wedding and the presentation was beautiful and everything tasted amazing! Melissa was so great to work with, she responded quickly and made the process so simple and easy. She set everything up for us and even brought boxes back to package up the leftovers. My husband is already planning to order cookies soon since they were "the best he's ever had", and I'm bummed they were gone before I had a chance to try one.

SCREAMING FROM THE ROOFTOPS!!!!! Melissa IS THE ONE! My wedding day was complete with my dessert table/candy bar. She was so fun to work with and answered every single question I ever had. Planning a wedding on your own as a bride for 150+ people is stressful. She made my life so much easier. The amount of people that said my dessert table was the BEST they ever had at a wedding just makes my whole life.. because dessert has always been a huge part of my life growing up. Look no farther. She’s it. She will make any special day THAT much sweeter.
Noel & Tim
Melissa was such a treat to work with for our dessert bar at our wedding! Not only were her desserts ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS, but beautiful as well! Melissa was easy and quick to communicate with throughout the entire planning process, arrived on time for the set up of the desserts, and was just overall a blessing to work with. We ended up supplying our own display, and she had no issues with setting up with what we provided. We received a ton of compliments about our dessert table being so yummy! THANK YOU, Melissa, for being so easy to work with and for making our day so sweet!
Logan & Neil
Melissa was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding. They truly go above and beyond with their desserts and customer service. We received full sized items for our tasting and had plenty leftover. She picked ribbons and sprinkles to match our wedding colors and decorated beautifully. The desserts themselves, were amazing and we looked forward to desserts the entire day. I have recommended and bragged about Cheat Day Sweets to not only our venue, but our friends who are getting married. I could not have had a better experience from communication to having our desserts carefully brought to our vehicle on the day of our wedding. You cannot go wrong choosing Cheat Day Sweets for any event or occasion!
Devon & Brandon
My husband and I are not big fans of cake, so we decided to do a dessert bar at our wedding. Melissa went all out. We asked for a variety of different desserts, and that is exactly what she gave us. People are still talking about how great the desserts were: kids and adults! We wanted to do a small cake cutting, and Melissa went out of her way to try something she had never done before to make my vision come true. And it turned out perfect! She quickly replied to messages throughout the planning process and was on top of it more than I was. She was on time to set up, came late at night with to-go boxes and helped pack it all up. My favorites were the chocolate chip cookies and monster cookies. The next day I ate the last red velvet cupcakeand I could’ve eaten 10 more. I highly recommend her and cannot wait to work with her again in the future!

FAQ's
Do you do tastings?
Because there are so many dessert options for tables and we bake everything to order per batch, we do not offer tastings of individual items at this time. If there is a dessert item you are interested in trying please contact us! Or please feel free to place an order from our order page.
When is payment due?
An initial deposit is required to secure your date. The remaining balance is due three weeks prior to your wedding. Up until then you are more than welcome to make small payments or pay the balance off at once. We accept cash, credit, Venmo, CashApp or Paypal.
Is the deposit refundable?
If your order is canceled within two months of your scheduled event the deposit is not refundable.
Do you deliver?
Yes, we deliver wedding orders. Please check with us for delivery fee. Sweets table setups and display rentals will have an additional fee.
Can you accommodate food allergies?
While we can certainly exclude allergens from some of our recipes we cannot guarantee the elimination of cross-contamination because we use shared equipment in a small kitchen. We use tree nuts, dairy, corn, eggs, and gluten in many of our recipes.
It is possible that ingredients we use came from a facility that handles peanuts. Please let us know if this is a concern.
