About Cheat Day Sweets

Cheat Day Sweets

Cheat Day Sweets was created as the passion project of its founder, who embodies the conflicted spirit of both fitness enthusiast AND baker. Out of this push/pull mindset, a sweets/treats brand was envisioned that allowed for a "once-in-a-while" cheat day, because we all need a well-deserved reward every now and then. Made fresh to order in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Cheat Day Sweets is a locally owned and operated small business that strives for the perfect sweet creation, each and every bake. If we aren't confident in our own flavors, we don't make it. Only the best, most luxurious, delicious treats are worthy of OUR Cheat Day.

Imagine walking into your reception venue and being greeted by a breathtaking display of sugary delights. Our dessert tables are more than just an assortment of treats, they are a work of art, carefully curated to match your theme, color palette, and personal style. Whether you're dreaming of a rustic chic vibe or a glamorous soirée, we'll bring your vision to life with enchanting dessert spreads that will be truly unforgettable. We handle every detail, from the setup to the arrangement, so you can focus on enjoying your day to the fullest.

    Amazing Cakes

    Cheat Day Sweets was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding desserts. From the very first communication, Melissa was responsive, kind, and accommodating to all of our requests. The final results were not only delicious, but also beautifully presented. Our guests raved about the quality and taste of the desserts, and we were thrilled with the value Cheat Day Sweets provided. We highly recommend them to any couple looking for a top-notch wedding sweets experience.

    Beauty only matched by deliciousness

    Working with Cheat Day Sweets was so much fun and a smash hit at the wedding! We had decided early on that we don't understand a traditional wedding cake, and making people watch us cut a cake was just one more thing. So, after discovering Cheat Day Sweet's Instagram, I knew they was the one to book for our dessert bar! I worked with Melissa to design the aesthetic and the menu, but to be completely honest, I was at a point where I was SO over planning and so overwhelmed I couldn't make any decisions (my now husband came home one day and asked if I wanted to go to the gym or do dinner first and I cried because I literally couldn't make another decision). So, I pretty much told her I trust her creative direction and she KILLED IT! Thank you so much for such a beautiful set up and the delicious treats! Photos by the wonderful, Gauper Photo.

    The best desserts!

    Melissa did an incredible job on the desserts for our wedding! These were honestly the best desserts I’ve ever had! She set up everything beautifully, was so easy to work with, responded quickly, and was very flexible. I’m so happy we decided to go with Cheat Day Sweets for our wedding day!

We don’t offer traditional tiered cakes, but we do have special options for your cake-cutting moment: an 8" round, 3-layer cutting cake (semi-naked or white whipped cream with flowers or a topper), a sweet little mini cake for two that's just enough for the couple to share without leftovers, or a Rice Krispie treat “cake,” stacked and decorated like a cake but made entirely of chewy, gooey Krispies. Each pairs beautifully with your dessert table, and examples can be found in our photo gallery!
Yes, we require a $50 deposit to hold your date. This deposit is applied to your final balance and ensures your spot on our calendar is reserved.
We offer several options! You can pick up your order, choose delivery only, or add full setup. With setup, we use our displays, provide flavor cards, plates, napkins, silverware, to-go boxes, and return at night for cleanup. For a smaller fee, we can also set up on your displays only (no cleanup included).
We suggest choosing 4–8 flavors and planning for about 2–3 pieces per guest. The exact number depends on what you select. Guests may grab multiple cookies to try different flavors, while one cupcake or shooter is often plenty. A good variety usually means guests sample more, so we’ll help you find the right balance for your crowd.
We offer a gluten-free, dairy-free version of our brownies, chocolate cupcakes, vanilla cupcakes, and chocolate chip cookies (with or without gluten-free Oreos). Please note: our kitchen is not allergen-certified. While we wash all tools between recipes, cross-contamination is possible.
