Little Whisk Bakes provided excellent service and communication throughout the entire wedding planning process.

Bartleby's Homemade Ice Cream 
Rating: 5.0 (5 reviews)
  • Starts at $64
  • Serves Palatine, IL
  • Offer

Our fresh, custom, elegantly decorated ice cream wedding cakes are like no other dessert option in Chicago! I have been creating ice cream cakes for decades and have been serving wedding customers in Chicago since 2019, first through Bartleby's Ice Cream Cakes online and since 2024 from the Bartleby's Homemade Ice Cream shop. With my many years of experience providing wedding cakes of all sizes, flavors, and designs and in all kinds of venues and weather, you can be sure that your Bartleby's cake will be beautiful, structurally sound, and delicious!

My husband and I used Bartleby's for our wedding, and they were fantastic! W had tried their cakes prior to our wedding and loved them, so we knew we had to lock them in for desserts at our reception. We're both vegan, and were thrilled to find a vendor who made quality vegan desserts with a plethora of tasty options, with countless ways to mix and match flavors. Plus, how fun is ice cream cake?! Our guests loved it (it was entirely gone by the end of the evening!) and they also enjoyed the bonus ice cream sandwiches we also ordered from Bartleby's. The entire ordering process was super easy as well, from tasting all the way up until finalizing delivery.

Molly's Cupcakes 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
  • Starts at $3
  • Serves Palatine, IL

Welcome to Molly's Cupcakes! Ms. Molly was my third-grade teacher. Whenever my classmates or I had a birthday, she would bake us cupcakes. She had her special recipe for chocolate and vanilla cupcakes. In honor of Molly and as a way to help our kids and community, a portion of our profits is donated directly to schools in our community. Every time you eat a cupcake or sip a latte, you help our kids. So eat up!

So happy we decided to get our cake from Mollys cupcakes. We had our wedding in Chicago but live in NYC so the fact that Mollys had bakeries in both cities was a huge plus! They provided a free cake tasting of 6 different flavors, was very easy to work with and was priced very well compared to others I looked at. Their cupcakes/ cakes were DELICIOUS! Would highly recommend.

Hello future brides! I'm Audrey O'Shanna, owner and operator of Windy City Cookies. I specialize in custom sugar cookies. From favors to bachelorette parties, showers, and every event in-between.

We had Windy City Cookies make these beautiful cookies for a graduation party. They were the perfect graduation theme cookies , and I asked her to individually wrap them with for me. They were beautiful—everyone loved them! I heard from reliable sources that they tasted delicious, too. Sadly, I did not have any of the cookies for myself. Hopefully next time!

Elisa’s Cake by the #Pound 
Rating: 5.0 (1 review)
  • Starts at $300
  • Serves Palatine, IL

I am a self-taught home baker and proud mother of one. My journey began as a paralegal, but everything changed when I baked and decorated my first cake in 2014 for Ella's 4th birthday. I wanted to create a memorable experience for her party, and little did I know it would ignite a deep passion within me. Soon I found myself baking for friends & family. Before I knew it, I had developed a substantial customer base. Over the years, I have come to realize that baking is a pure and simple expression of love and joy for others. In January 2020, I made the bold decision to follow my passion and pursue my dreams in the world of baking.

Elisa's Cake by the Pound was a fantastic choice for our wedding cake. Their communication throughout the process was prompt and consistent, which put us at ease. The quality of their work was exceptional - the cake was absolutely beautiful and delicious. We only needed a small cake for our wedding, and they were very accommodating, offering the perfect sized cake for a reasonable price. It exceeded our expectations and our guests raved about how great it tasted. We highly recommend Elisa's Cake by the Pound for any couple's wedding dessert needs.

Charlene suggested some design ideas to compliment our Sophisticated Disney theme while also using a custom monogram we designed. The best part was finally getting to eat the cake! We chose two flavors for our cake; bottom & top tiers (anniversary tier) were a Vanilla cake, layer of Biscoff cookie butter, with Biscoff buttercream and the middle tier was Ube cake, Ube mousse, and Ube buttercream. We would highly recommend Coco & Eve Custom Cakes! Thank you for making our special day that much more special, and tasty!

Milk Bar 
Rating: 5.0 (8 reviews)
  • Starts at $300
  • Serves Palatine, IL

Milk Bar is a sweet (and occasionally savory) shop that’s been turning familiar treats upside down and on their heads, shaking up the dessert scene since 2008. Bon Appetit magazine called us “one of the most exciting bakeries in the country.” But you can literally just call us Milk Bar. We’re not big on feeding the hype beast. But we’re super into feeding our flavorful treats to those who crave the unexpected.

Awarded Best of Zola
When we started planning our wedding, wanting a milk bar cake was one of the first things we decided on :) The team was so easy to work with and shipped us multiple cakes on time to our wedding location, and all arrived in perfect shape. The cakes were such a hit, our guests were so surprised to see milk bar all the way in upstate new york!

Trying the cake and frosting flavors was so fun, and we ended up picking fun flavors we originally wouldn’t have gone with if we didn’t do a tasting. The cake was adorable and just what we wanted!

Sweet Temptations was absolutely wonderful to work with for our wedding. Their communication throughout the entire process was great - they were responsive, helpful, and really took the time to understand our vision. The quality of their work and value was truly awesome.

Working with Let Them Eat Cakes was an absolute pleasure. Ava's communication through text and phone was perfect - she was always prompt in responding and made sure we were on the same page every step of the way. I would give her a 10 out of 10 for the quality of her work and value, and if I could go higher, I would. Ava was always on time and was able to navigate each day without my help.

Nadiya's Cupcakes 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
  • Starts at $640
  • Serves Palatine, IL
  • Offer

Custom wedding cakes for Chicago couples who want something artful, meaningful, and unmistakably their own. At Nadiya’s Cupcakes, we design refined, story-driven wedding cakes that feel personal, never pulled from a catalog. Each cake begins with a thoughtful conversation and unfolds into a design that reflects your celebration, your heritage, and the emotion of your day.

Nadiya created the most magical Harry Potter inspired wedding cake we could have dreamed of. From our first tasting to the final reveal, the entire experience felt thoughtful, creative and enchanting. She took every idea we shared and turned it into something far more beautiful than we imagined. The cake itself was pure magic. The hand painted Forbidden Forest, the white stag Patronus, the elegant gold detailing, the “Always” inscription and the Golden Snitch on top all came together so perfectly. It truly felt like a piece of the wizarding world brought to life in the most elegant way. On top of being stunning, the cake was completely gluten free for my allergy and still tasted absolutely incredible. Our guests were amazed that something so beautiful could also taste so good. People are still talking about it. Seeing the cake on our wedding day was a moment I will never forget. Nadiya’s talent, care and attention to detail made the entire experience unforgettable. We are so grateful for the magic she created and for giving us a cake that was meaningful, delicious and everything we hoped for. Thank you, Nadiya, for bringing our vision to life so perfectly.

Ethalle's Cakes and Bakes was the absolute sweetest to work with for my wedding. I gave her my wedding mood board and she made sure all the cakes and bakes she created matched the theme perfectly! I was especially excited about the rice crispies and cake pops, but by the time I had a moment to grab some, they were all gone! Everyone kept raving about how delicious they were, and Ethalle even gave me a rice crispy treat afterwards (with my wedding colors!) so that I didn't miss out. Tasty custom sweets at a great value - I highly recommend Ethalle's Cakes and Bakes!
