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!“

“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!“

“David from Iced Bakery went above and beyond to make a beautiful cake and cupcakes for a co-workers baby shower. Both were exactly what we asked for. He was very accommodating with what I was asking for and even the pick up time. The cake and cupcakes were delicious! Many of my co-workers said the same thing and asked for the bakery information which I gladly passed along. Do not hesitate to choose Iced Bakery for your next bakery need! I highly recommend Iced!“

“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.“

“best coffee cake . so many flavors“

“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.“

“The best in Town! specially the Rosca“

“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.“

“I cannot recommend Cakes & Beyond enough! From start to finish, everyone was so kind, welcoming, and helpful. The bakery itself is beautiful, very clean, and you can tell they truly care about the quality of their work.

They completely brought my vision to life and made the cake even better than I imagined! Not only was it absolutely beautiful, but the flavor was UNBELIEVABLE. Our guests are still talking about how delicious and memorable the cake was!

They also offer so many different flavors, fillings, and options, which makes it easy to create exactly what you’re looking for. You can truly tell how much care and talent goes into every cake they make. Thank you, Cakes & Beyond, for making such a special part of our celebration absolutely perfect!“

“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.“

“We had an amazing cake from The Baking Institute at Drury Lane! Their partnership made it so easy and everything was there and ready to go for us! The only thing is it was slightly different from what we originally sent as a reference photo, but it came out adorable“

“Everything is always excellent.“

“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...“
