Custom Cakes near Northbrook, IL

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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 .“
