Custom Cakes near Evanston, IL

“We worked with Sweet Temptations to create our dream wedding cake and WOW is this team impressive. Looking back at our wedding photos, it is truly impossible to tell the difference between the inspiration photo sent and the cake delivered to our venue. It was GORGEOUS! In addition, the flavor was out of this world. They even sent a custom box to package our top tier for easy transportation after the reception. From planning to delivery to execution, Sweet Temptations exceed all expectations. Photo credit: Emma Petersen Photography“

“The BEST cake and cupcakes ever!
We’ve been going with MadBaker for two birthdays now and won’t be going back - Vanessa is the best! Creativity, attention to detail, and on top of that, the best taste and filling! Thank you! 🩷 10/10!“

“I was speechless when I saw the final results. I‘ve never had a cake before that met my expectations this close. David did an amazing job and the cake was not only visually stunning but also exceptionally delicious! He was super friendly and polite, always ready to answer my questions. I even sent images and he was able to create exactly what I asked for. I highly recommend reaching out to David!

David- thank you for creating an unforgettable moment for my family and me. I‘ll definitely work with you again!😊“

“Everything I have tasted from here had been excellent ,I am especially fond of their chocolate doughnuts,, sweet rolls and their Cannoli cake is great.“

“Jorge and his team, especially Josh, are the most welcoming, accommodating people. They truly love what they do and strive to make your day special. They made a cake for my husband's birthday on fairly short notice that was beautiful, better than expected, and delicious! The cream and fruit filling were fresh and not too sweet but honestly the actual cake itself, even though it was just vanilla, was so light and airy. I've never had cake like this! Definitely recommend supporting this wonderful business and will be back for more!“

“As a busy working, traveling mom, I was trying to plan my precious daughter’s sixth birthday party when I was out of town and was in a bind because I didn’t order a cake I envisioned in advance. The bakery called me back promptly as I was sitting at the airport in Boston, I sent over a picture of the unicorn cake I envisioned, and they had it ready along with 2 dozen cupcakes that day! Also ordered their butter cookies and the broffee and it was all a huge hit with our guests. Thanks again for coming to the rescue. My daughter and her friends absolutely fell in love with the magical unicorn cake.“

“First time coming, and I wasn't sure they accepted credit cards, but they do, so that's great. The flavor of the bread is good. The employee is very nice. I got some bread for día de los Muertos ? and the turtle concha ? was so cute my kid didn't want to eat. The place is clean and very nice decorated. Street parking. I'll be returning because I want to try their cakes.“

“It is hard to find a cozier spot than this in Lincoln Park! We love this place from their cappuccinos to their macarons. My husband is German so he is very particular about his baked goods and he goes crazy over all things Vanille!“

“The best in Town! specially the Rosca“

“Everything is always excellent.“

“I had a delightful experience at Cake and Beyond! I purchased a small chocolate pistachio cake, and it was delicious. The cake was moist, rich, and perfectly balanced with creamy frosting. The staff friendly, offering great recommendations. My order was ready quickly, beautifully packaged, and made my day extra special. Highly recommend! Thank you“

“We absolutely loved working with The Baking Institute! Not only was the dessert stunning but it was also incredibly delicious. Our couple couldn’t stop raving about how much they loved it! The design perfectly matched the vision and overall aesthetic, and the flavors were spot-on.

The team was also wonderful to coordinate with, responsive, professional, and so clearly passionate about what they do. We’d happily recommend them to any Chicago couple looking for a beautiful and memorable wedding cake or dessert display!“

“I absolutely love this bakery. The food that they have is amazing! I can buy a whole bag of baked goods for even better prices! They also accept Snap. When I walk in the door the woman there is always super friendly, and Salazar Bakery is always clean.“

“Professional, carry on, delicious products !!!“

“Alliance Bakery is the best! We got our wedding, rehearsal dinner, and bridal shower cakes from them, and we received so many compliments on the taste! They also looked so great. The planning process was smooth as well, and I think their prices were pretty affordable compared to other bakeries in Chicago. We're looking forward to our next occasion to order dessert from them!“

“Very good service... I highly recommend the place...“
