Custom Cakes near Northfield, IL

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“I was speechless when I saw the final results. I‘ve never had a cake before that met my expectations this close. David did an amazing job and the cake was not only visually stunning but also exceptionally delicious! He was super friendly and polite, always ready to answer my questions. I even sent images and he was able to create exactly what I asked for. I highly recommend reaching out to David!

David- thank you for creating an unforgettable moment for my family and me. I‘ll definitely work with you again!😊“

“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“

“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!“

“The best in Town! specially the Rosca“

“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!“

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

“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 .“
