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!“

“The cakes are delicious! I ordered the mango passion and the Neapolitan cakes flavors and they were outstanding! The cake was light and the buttercream so much flavor but not too sweet. I was so happy to know that he is from Hawaii so the Hawaii flavors I grew up with, David brought those flavors out in his cakes. I can’t wait to try the guava and POG. So if you’re looking for amazing flavors order from Iced Chicago!“

“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.“

“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.“

“best coffee cake . so many flavors“

“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.“

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

“I ordered my son’s Golden Birthday cake from Cakes and beyond and did everything from out of town. Anna was very easy to work with and did absolutely everything I wanted. Her communication is Great. I had her deliver it to the restaurant we were going to celebrate and when she dropped it off she texted me to let me know it was there. The cake was Beautiful and better than I expected. It was very delicious and everyone around us was saying how nice it was and asked where I got it from. These cakes are worth every penny!“

“Very easy to work with! Our reception venue set up our wedding cake through The Baking Institute. It was easy to set up an appointment and select our tasting menu. When we arrived, things were prepared and it didn’t take much time from start to finish to taste, select the flavor, and choose the design. The cake looked beautiful and tasted great too! I would recommend!“

“Everything is always excellent.“

“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.“

“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...“
