“They have the best Birthday cake that I’ve even had in this area. Very creamy and fresh, not too sweet. The cake was beautiful like a wedding cake, and it was very tasty, lots of strawberries in the layers. It definitely brought more joy to my daughter’s birthday party. Kids and parents all loved this cake. I felt so blessed to find this place before the Bday party. Thanks for bringing good food to this area!“

“I picked up a Piña Colada rum cake today and it was absolutely delicious. I took it to a family gathering and it was a hit! Nana was super sweet! I own a small cake and cupcake business and I shared this place on my own business page. Was way to delicious and had to tell everyone we know!“

“Good food very friendly employees clean store 🏬“

“😋Everything is just delicious and fresh. Best bread and coffeecakes around.“

“Wowowow!! Although there haven’t been too many cookies and pies I didn’t like, I must say the sampling I bought from Bake Share were among the best! This past week I purchased peanut butter chocolate chip cookies, chocolate marshmallow cookies, a lemon blueberry pie, and a chocolate coffee pie. I was also gifted a chicken pot pie from a friend. I honestly couldn’t tell you which I loved the best! This bakery is top notch. Highly recommend.“

“I am only getting my cupcakes/cakes from Sweet C’s. Love the online availability through her website.

I ordered through Sweet C’s website for a birthday and I was behind on ordering due to my kids being sick. Celia was extremely kind despite it being a last minute order that was 100% my fault.

She had 2 dozen cupcakes for me and they were delicious. Everyone loved them - from the adults to the kids at the party. I always order extra cupcakes to bring home in case I can’t sit down at the party and enjoy a cupcake. I only have 2 left over and now have to share with the kids?! Not happy. Next time I’m giving myself a 6 cupcake buffer instead of 4.

Very easy to communicate with, is on time for pick up the cupcakes and you can still upload a design like she had in store. 10/10 recommend. We went with chocolate cupcakes and a vanilla buttercream. The cupcake will so soft and the buttercream was perfectly fluffy and just the right amount of sweetness. Very well balanced cupcake.

The customer service and the cupcakes were both outstanding. Placing my cupcake order for my birthday today with a 1/2 dozen cookie kit for Halloween.

Dietary restrictions: Able to have some accommodations for dietary restrictions but like many bakeries, cross contamination can happen. She has an info section on this on her website.

Kid-friendliness: She was amazing with my youngest who attempted to place a birthday cake order for June of 2025.“

“we had our wedding cake made by this bakery. and it was amazing from the design to the taste.“

“Ordered a Tres Leche Cake fora Mexican party. Sandy who helped me was terrific, very helpful. Carlos also. Sandy asked if I wanted anything written on cake I said fiesta. When I went to pick it up, the 1/4 sheet looked like it had been decorated by professionals. It was just so very beautifully decorated I could not believe it . So much much more than just the word fiesta. Taste people could not get enough, everyone just loved it. Not too sweet perfect & The price was way under what it should have been. I am sorry I did it photo it. I also bought a cookie for my ride home, just yummy.“

“They did our recent gender reveal cake and knocked it out of the park! Not only did it look exactly like the design idea I shared with them, but it tasted incredible. I literally liked this cake better than my own wedding cake, haha!“

“The cookies are awesome! We had the valentine ones with the Hershey in the middle and some chocolate chip! I’m getting the giant one for my birthday, already decided.“

“Cookie decorating class was so much fun. The cookies looked great and were delicious. I will definitely do again.“

“She's got the most delicious pastries, but not only that, we used her for making our wedding cake, and man was it good! Even our guests that had cake loved it! I would give her 10/10 rating and will most definitely recommend touch of sweets to anyone who's looking for a baker for their wedding. Thank you to her for making not only a beautiful cake, but making it so delicious.“

“Placed my tamale order last night and I picked up the freshest ever just made this morning tamales. I ordered pork, pepper/cheese, and sweet pineapple. Each type is delicious, moist, and full of distinct flavor. You will not be disappointed. And the service made the visit all the more pleasant. Authentic tamales and English is spoken too. THE BEST!!@“

“I love the new cookie releases every week. It's fun to check the app weekly to see if they have any flavors I would want to try. I'm finally rating crumble 4 stars because crumble has come out with mini versions of their cookies weekly too. The app is amazing as well because you can accru points for freebies. Sometimes, the cookies can be to raw for my taste at this location or there not enough sauces or toppings, but it just depends on the flavor and batch.“

“I wish I took pictures, but we ate everything so quickly… IT’S JUST SO GOOD! We had the Korean hotdogs, mochi donuts and boba coffee and milk tea. Every week they have different mochi donut flavors, try them all! For the Korean hotdogs, you choose your flavor, then if you want mozzarella/sausage, and a dipping sauce. Also, the actual location is cute and inviting with extra seating in the back. Highly recommend!“

“Best local Mexican snack shop in all of the greater Round Lake area! Doesn’t matter if you’re trying to get healthy and lose some pounds (like I did) or just simply trying to satisfy a guilty pleasure, they’ve got you covered!
