I order a Birthday cake for my boyfriend’s 60’s, and it came out beautifully! I sent a photo of what I wanted, and the final result was even more stunning than I could have hoped. Not only was this cake beautiful, but it was delicious. The frosting was light and creamy. The cake was perfectly moist, and the chocolate ganache layer in between each layer was silky smooth. I could not be happier with how it turned out. Thank you ECBG for the stunning cake.

I just moved here and it was my birthday! I’m not familiar with my neighborhood yet, but saw they had great reviews and ECBG did not disappoint! They captured my vision perfectly, were so receptive via email, and the whole process was seamless.
Now for the cake itself… LITERALLY one of the best cakes I’ve ever eaten. I could’ve devoured the whole thing myself, but I froze half to control myself. I don’t like overly sweet cakes or icing, but the cake, filling, and icing were absolutely delicious! I’m going back for a St Patrick’s day order and while I live here, they will be my main cake spot! Highly recommend!
Pictured: my 28th birthday cake with orange and pink scheme. Writing says “Twenty Ate” with sparkles and disco balls. Lemon cake with raspberry mascarpone filling. Just 🤌🏻💋

For our wedding cake we purchased a signature heart shape cake and it turned out amazing! Since it was not a large tier cake to serve all of our guests, we booked directly through their online form after we completed a tasting. The form is straightforward and easy to use. I will say when we first picked up our cake we didn’t love the font of the writing and the color (black) that I chose didn’t go well with the overall look of the cake. ECBG was SO responsive and friendly and were able to quickly update the writing to a delicate cursive and in the same color as the frosting - next level customer service! The cake looked beautiful and tasted amazing. Highly recommend!

I’ve bought cookies and cakes from this bakery several times and each time I am thrilled and amazed with the level of detail these women put into their products. Everyone I’ve met has been kind and helpful, ensuring that they understand and can execute the ideas I have brought. If you are looking for a female-owned small business to support, and you have a sweet tooth, look no further!

The cake was GORGEOUS (please excuse the pizza box. My daughter requested it). A real showstopper. Everyone at the party was in awe. By far the coolest looking cake I’ve ever seen. Plus the delivery service was game changing. When you already have to decorate, pick up catering, fill coolers, greet your guests, etc. etc. it’s great to have the cake just show up for the birthday party.
That said, it’s prettier than it tastes. It was fine, but I expected a bit better for a $320 cake. There’s a disclaimer on their site about the way their buttercream tastes different or unlike buttercream you’d expect. I didn’t see this until after I bought, but thought it was a bit of a red flag that they give out a warning on what to expect from their buttercreams. I gotta imagine that’s the result of people complaining about it… like I say, it was fine, but the recipe could use a tweak for sure.
If I ordered again - and I definitely might - I would get something other than buttercream.

Previously had a good experience with them but I recently tried to order a custom cake which was going to be almost $500 and they couldn't bother to give me a 5 minute phone conversation. to finalize my idea. No problem I had to go elsewhere. I also am a business owner and I don't care if you spend $5 in my business I accommodate to my patrons; but that's my opinion...
I simply do not have words for how INCREDIBLE our cake looked AND tasted. We had our wedding at RPM Events in Chicago, and one of our Groomsmen ran his finger down the back of our cake prior to the reception because he claimed "there's no way that's the real cake". Not to mention, I opted not to have a meeting, and instead simply sent 3 photos of what I wanted & a description (I wanted our cake to look like a white rose, but still simple & elegant)- and it was even better than I imagined. We cannot say enough incredible things about ECBG!!!!!

We got a birthday cake for my grandma's 80th birthday and it was beautiful! Izzy was super helpful and helped me with all the flavorings and colors since this was the first time I ordered a fancy cake like this. Everyone loved it and was super impressed both with the cake decor and the taste!

Loved our wedding cakes from ECBG! Both were delicious - we got vanilla cake with chocolate layers and a chocolate cake with vanilla layers and everything served about 130 people. Make sure you are very explicit in what you want - if you want everything to be edible on the cake or if you want real flowers (not edible!) make sure you are clear.

We couldn't be happier with our wedding cake from ECBG Cakes! It was truly a showstopper – beautiful, elegant, and perfectly fitting for our special day. The real magic, though, was in the taste; it was beyond delicious. Many guests raved about it, with one even saying it was the best wedding cake they’d ever had! ECGB's attention to detail, flavor combinations, and presentation exceeded our expectations. Thank you for making our celebration even sweeter.

The cake's appearance was amazing and exactly what I wanted to be on the outside. The inside was very dry and hard. I follow instructions and let the cake sit until it was time to cut later that night. Try it again the next day and it was still dry.

We ordered a small cake to act as a cutting cake for our wedding. The whole process was very easy to navigate thanks to the info on the ECBG website. We ordered the tasting box which was awesome, pickup was so easy. We were put in contact with Sarah since it was a wedding order. Even though we didn't go custom, she was still very responsive to any questions. We ended up ordering the Eat Your Heart out from the Cake Shop and we're so so happy with how it turned out, both beautiful and delicious! Couldn't be happier and at a reasonable enough price to order again for special occasions or our anniversary.

Erin and ECBG team,
People are still talking about Kaley’s beautiful wedding cake, along with the delicious cake and filling selections.
It was perfection! Kaley was thrilled and amazed about your attention to detail. The colors, mountains, taste, and flower placement was divine! Thanks again for accomplishing our daughter’s dream cake!

We are so happy with our decision to use ECBG for our wedding cake! We wanted something small and classic for the “photo op” and ECBG made us the most perfect and delicious heart shaped cake! They care about the details and it shows—amazing product. The red velvet was so decadent and the cream cheese icing was such a nice compliment. It was exactly how I envisioned it! Working with the Izzy and the rest of the team at ECBG was so seamless. They are very organized and professional—I would highly recommend ECBG to anyone who needs a wedding cake or any kind of cake!
