“I love to come here on a day off and get my High lemonade and a pastry roll (cupcake, cookie, slice of cake). The people there are amazing, kind, super chill & best of all welcoming!:) Although the place is small, it’s still a great place to visit + their cute duck collection!“

“We couldn’t be happier with the cakes the Mad Baker has created for us over the years. She isn’t just a baker, she’s an artist. The cakes are perfect aesthetically and are equally as delicious. Thank you Mad Baker for helping make our daughter’s birthday parties even more magical with your cakes.“

“My company, Epiq Solutions, ordered a custom cake to mimic one of our products. We are an engineering company, so this is no easy task. Central Continental nailed it with the look and the taste! Well done, and thank you!“

“Got my brother’s 21st birthday cake here in July 2023 & needless to say, it was beyond our expectations! We showed them the inspo & they made it even better. It not only looked good, but it tasted delicious!! Definitely going to order all my custom cakes for any occasion from here & will recommend them to everyone!⭐️“

“Fantastic service! Delicious ice cream! Highly recommend!“

“This place is amazing! We had to get
a couple cakes for some family birthday parties, and one very special unicorn cake for my toddler’s birthday. I walked in, described what I was looking for, and every cake I ordered turned out so much better than I could have imagined! The cakes were all absolutely beautiful and DELICIOUS! Kids and adults alike kept raving about them - and the process couldn’t have been easier. This baker is a gem to work with and he makes some very good baked goods. Wouldn’t think twice about going back, and recommended it to everyone at the party. Plus, he’s less than half the cost of some of these “designer” bakers out there - and it was SUCH a beautiful cake!!

Try the donuts and coffee cake while you’re there - also a huge hit in our household!“

“I have had cupcakes and other treats before, but this was my first time ordering some - a custom-made pumpkin pie without clove. My mom always made it without and I never could bring myself to like it with. Well, I took one bite and it tasted so much like my mom's pumpkin pie that I almost cried. She passed away last year and had actually not cooked for a couple years beforehand. This really hit me very unexpectedly! Thank you so much to Ashley and her wonderful team at Punky Cakes.“

“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.“

“We appreciated that the tasting was quick, and that they were very thorough about what the reception venue would pay for, and what we had to cover. They were very knowledgeable about what cake options were best with the different fillings. There were lots of options to choose from, and our guests were very happy with the way the cake turned out. It tasted delicious! We highly recommend the Baking Institute if you are looking for a wedding cake venue.“

“gracias por la decoracion y el sabor del pastel muy sabroso. recomendado al 100%.“

“We got our daughter’s 4th Birthday cake from here. We chose princess themed and were able to customize. We went in and the gentleman taking our order was very attentive and wrote everything down. I called two days before to confirm and they immediately knew what I was talking about. Pick up was a breeze and everyone loved the vanilla on top (two tier) and chocolate strawberry on the bottom ice cream cake. It was decorated well and I could tell they took their time. I am very pleased and would totally go back!“

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

“Since I'm in the area, I wanted to check this cafe out because I had a sweet tooth today. Their specialty is crepe cakes. I got a sesame and tiramisu slice. The cake's flavor is excellent, and its texture was delicate. Although it's quite expensive, I believe it's worth it.“

“Great ice cream! i don’t know if this is weird to say, but the ice cream is chewy! it makes it so good!! so many toppings to choose from, as well as scrumptious cakes! so many flavors to choose from. it’s is never ever busy there! i love the place!“

“My son and I enjoyed our visit to Coldstone Creamer Deer Park, IL yesterday. I absolutely love the Coffee Lovers ice cream. Hard to try another choice when you know you know you love a specific choice. Love this place!

Kid-friendliness: Love that the display is glass and low enough for kids to admire the selection. They have great waffle cones too. So many options! And they even sell chocolate!
