Custom Cakes near Mount Prospect, IL

“A huge THANK YOU to Central Continental Bakery for creating the most beautiful, delicious cake for my daughters baby shower. I cannot tell you how many guests asked me where it was from. Their attention to detail is extraordinary. Their patience (Bobby) was above and beyond and he really listened to my description of what I was trying to achieve. THANK YOU! Thank you for making our special day even that much more beautiful!“

“This place is a gem! From the moment I walked in, I was blown away by how kind and knowledgeable the staff was. The girl who helped me was so sweet, super patient, and explained everything perfectly. You can really tell they care about the customer experience and make sure you feel comfortable and taken care of. Now let’s talk about the lemonades—WOW. Infused and delicious, it was honestly one of the best lemonades I’ve ever had. And the baked goods? Incredible. Soft, flavorful, and just the right amount of kick. Everything I tried was amazing, and I can’t wait to go back and try more. I seriously love, love, love this place. The staff, the products, the vibe—Blazed Bakery is on point. Thank you for such an awesome experience!“

“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.“

“Nadiya created the most magical Harry Potter inspired wedding cake for us. From the beautiful tasting to the final design, the entire experience felt enchanting. She listened to every detail and brought our vision to life with the hand painted forest, the Patronus, the gold accents, the Golden Snitch and the perfect “Always” touch. The cake was stunning, meaningful and completely gluten free for my allergy, yet it still tasted absolutely incredible. Our guests were in awe of how beautiful and delicious it was. Seeing it on our wedding day felt like pure magic. Thank you, Nadiya, for creating a cake we will remember forever.“

“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!“

“Many Oat milk ice cream options, and so many delicious flavors for ice cream, shakes, sundaes and shaved ice. Love that your dog gets to come into the restaurant and gets free ice cream. Chairs to sit inside or outside.“

“Wonderful Bakery. Definitely worth a visit.

I have ordered many cakes from them. All have been great.
Even if you order them ahead of time. They seem to make your orders, so they finish them at the agreed order date. Always very fresh.

Their chocolate Ganache cake is a fan favorite whenever I order that. I personally like their strawberry vanilla cream cake. T

heir donuts are also good if your looking for a morning or weekend treat.
Same with their huge variety of cookies.

Lucky to have such a nice bakery in town.“

“Delicious old school service and the ice cream is outstanding!! Had a wonderful experience!!“

“We were at the Bakester today and they were understaffed. Iliya was there working as hard as he could and was doing a great job. Through no fault of his own and under great pressure, he tried to get the job done to keep the restaurant moving. The food was great.“

“The Baking Institute has been a trusted partner of ours for 20+ years. Their cakes are elegant in presentation, outstanding in taste, and consistently delivered with professionalism and care. We’re grateful for the long-standing relationship and confidently recommend them.“

“Placed an order for a firefighting themed cake for my brother with such a short notice through Miri Cakes but they still were able to accommodate me! Service at Miri Cakes was beyond wonderful. The chocolate fudge flavor in the cake was phenomenal and super delicious 😋 I was supposed to pick up the cake at a certain time but plans got rearranged so I needed it 2 hours earlier then scheduled time and they STILL made it happen! Definitely will be recommending this place to lots of friends/family. Think this might be my new go to spot for custom cakes!“

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

“I don’t usually write reviews, but I had to share how exceptional the service was today. I visited the Deer Park store with my son, and when he had a meltdown over losing his favorite toy, the crew member (Sri) went above and beyond. She directed us to a quiet area to help calm him down, then checked in on us with a thoughtful gift for my son, which made his day (it was his birthday!). She was kind, empathetic, and made us feel so comfortable. Thank you, Sri, for making this experience so special!“

“Good food from the restaurant. The bakery didn't have much to offer was told I had to come back in afternoon for their pan frances which is strange because I feel it's something that should have been available as it was only 10am on a Monday. What I did buy was good though. I was not disappointed.“

“Lady M’s Mille Crêpes cake is absolutely delicious and feels very luxurious. The texture is soft, the layers are perfect, and the sweetness is just right. However, the price is definitely on the higher side. Overall, it’s a great treat for special occasions, but not something I’d buy every day.”“

“First time at cold stone… ice cream was great. Wish the server wouldn’t have given us dirty looks and rolling her eyes for not understanding her question after she mumbled it to us. She shouldn’t have a loose ponytail with long hair in food service. At least the other two girls were kind and had their hair in tight buns. Poor customer service on the one girl .“
