Amy Beck Cake Design

solutely delicious on top of being beautiful! The cake tasting was such a fun experience and Amy was a joy to work with. All of our guests loved the cake and I cannot recommend her enough! My husbands grandmother told everyone about the cake in advance of this year because she loved it so much from the previous year!

orgeous galactic unique wedding cake and OMG did it taste out of this world good!!! I would recommend her to anyone and everyone!

es, and they were by far the most responsive, creative and easy-going. I had pulled a few photos of cakes I like the look of on Pinterest and sent to Amy. My husband lives out of town and they were incredibly accommodating in letting us do our cake tasting on a Saturday (in July, during their busiest time with weddings). We sat at the table in the front of the shop and had a wonderful time tasting and chatting with everyone as they made the final preparations for the day's deliveries. Based on my interactions with Amy Beck and her team, I didn't give the cake a second thought on my wedding day. I knew it would be exactly as we had discussed...and it was! Amy Beck Cake Designs has a very talented, customer-focused team that is lovely to work with!

Moist, full of flavor, and light - not dense or greasy at all. As an aside - I know this won't be for everyone, but she is also terrific at unique, less-commonplace flavors. Her passionfruit curd is amazing. She made us a red current preserves as a filling, and we were blown away by her lemon-rosemary buttercream. If you want a touch of something different for your wedding, she is perfect. But even if you just want a wonderful basic vanilla, she will deliver.

well for the talent she brought to the cake!

vors. The tasting was lots of fun and showed us all the different types of options that were available. There was a good amount of options and overall we were very happy with how everything turned out.

r reception we were ecstatic to present the cake and show off it’s elegance and decadent appearance. Amy Beck Cake Design worked with us during the wedding planning process and provided the exact vision we had at an affordable price and great taste! We would highly recommend this company for any wedding or special event that you may have.

beautiful and very delicious. Cant wait to go back. Thank you Amy!!

be happier. Amy gets to know you as a couple so that she really knows your vibe/style before suggesting design ideas. She is available every step of the way to tweak her ideas, work on options to keep cost down, and sends you detailed plans with hand sketched mock-ups. During our tasting she whipped up a completely new type of cake filling on the spot at our request. We cant thank her enough!

g cake from Amy. We came to her with our big gay design concept: simple, timeless, fresh and modern. Going in for a tasting here was one of my most fond experiences because you don’t do it in a waiting room, you are in the bakery where the magic happens - sitting next to giant mixers! We had a design inspiration to include some Keith Haring inspired art. (Fabulous 80s nyc artist lost to hiv) She totally nailed it with a beautiful buttercream frosted cake with the Haring art on top. We even had my husbands moms jam baked inside which made it all the more special. We got the jam shipped from NC and Amy included it as filling. She was pleasant, flexible and wonderful. Yassss Amy Beck cakes.

ersion of our dog! It made us smile so big when we saw that while cutting our cake on our wedding day. In addition to all those wonderful things-the cake was delicious!!! We received so many compliments on how good it was. I would recommend working with Amy to everyone!

ts!

ting together a beautiful cake that went with our relaxed vibe. Not only did the cake look lovely it tasted GREAT too! Our guests couldn't stop raving.....and still are. Thank you Amy Beck Cake Design for being a part of our day and making extra sweet. ;)

large but from the beginning Amy never treated us like it was not as important (like a few other bakeries did). Our cake was one of the lowest on our priority lists and man were we wrong! We fell in love with her passionfruit cake from first bite and our cake quickly became one of our favorite things about our wedding. We are counting down the days until we get to have our anniversary cake. Not to mention the cake was beautiful! Work with Amy you will not regret it!

the cake tasting.

you for helping make our wedding perfect.

ea during our tasting and the idea came to life even more beautiful that we hoped. The cake tasted as deliciously as it looked, it was absolutely succulent! We are extra grateful that Amy took the effort to add the honeycomb, honey from our father's hive and created beautiful sugar bees. We would highly recommend Amy for any occasion that requires a special cake!

did it look amazing it also tasted incredible. All of our guests were raving about the cake and we can't wait to unfreeze our top tier to eat it again on our one year:)

t perfectly, better than all my expectations. She was also very accommodating and flexible in schedule our tasting and any appointments and was very helpful with ideas and suggestions. I hope we have the chance to work together again!

ived so many compliments on it throughout the night. I would highly recommend reaching out to Amy for your wedding cake.

ed and professional baker.

g my dream come true! I came across Amy’s cakes during a Chicago bridal walk, and I instantly knew I had to have her design my cake. She based my cake off of the intricate lace designs on my dress, and they couldn’t have matched any better! It was even more beautiful than I ever could have imagined! The tasting was a blast where my husband, mom, and I got to match different frostings to different cakes! Our cake that we saved for a year later truly tasted just as delicious as it did for our wedding! I loved Amy’s cakes so much that she designed for me a Chief Illiniwek cake for my husband as a surprise for our rehearsal dinner! Her work is pure perfection and art, and I absolutely cannot wait to have her design and create cakes for future special occasions!!

ooked and Amy and her team definitely achieved that! My husband was blown away by the design (it was a surprise) and it was so delicious that we had almost no cake left left.

utiful and it was the talk of the wedding! The detail she included was impeccable and she worked with me to add elements to it that was unique for us. Every aspect of the process with her was fantastic. The tasting was so fun and everything was delicious! She listed to our ideas on both what the cake should look like and different flavor combinations and created the perfect end product. I would 100% work with Amy again and highly recommend her for anything you are thinking of!

nd completely aligned with our vision. Thank you, Amy!

ch my own attention to detail. Amy Beck Cake Design is the easiest, most beautiful delicious decision you will make. She is completely professional and more importantly personable. As a client she makes you feel comfortable and allows for you to ask questions as many times as you want. I told her my vision once and she ran with it and made my dream come to life. She is amazing and I look forward to using her for future major events. Thanks again to you and your team Amy!!

price! Amy's team executed perfectly, and I'd highly recommend her for your wedding cake needs.

ful but they taste amazing! We were able to select a few of her previous designs and customize for the look we were wanting to do. We loved how you could mix and match different flavors and when we inquired about a flavor she didn't have- she took the time to see if she had it and brought it out. She was patient with us during the cake tasting process as we asked questions to determine our final selections. We received so many compliments at the wedding on the beautiful look but also how great the cake tasted. Our flavor combination of devils food cake with salted caramel and chocolate buttercream was a big hit!

st me, amazing). Our guests are still talking about the cake--there were no leftovers because so many people asked for seconds! It also was beautiful and unique, with live flowers and rose gold decor. To top it all off, Amy is just a lovely, kind person who really added to our wedding experience.

use two flavor/filling combinations (which I enjoyed both of at our reception)! They even allowed us to ship our custom cake topper directly to the bakery for safe keeping and to eliminate any need for us to make an extra trip. The finished product matched our vision (and venue) perfectly! We highly recommend Amy Beck to everyone!

ft but the cake was definitely one of the stars of the wedding! The cake has gone viral since posting and was yummy as well! If you are looking for a top notch baker for a Chicago area wedding - Amy Beck Cake Designs will not disappoint.

dget). The design was perfect and the cake was absolutely delicious!

g it. We came to Amy Beck with a very specific idea--we are nerds, and wanted a nerdy wedding cake. Amy Beck rose to the challenge, making a show stopping cake that helped make our wedding memorable. Finally, the cake itself was amazing--it was so difficult to choose flavors because there were so many that were great! It's the kind of dilemma I didn't mind having.

ith the best artistic style. The cake perfectly tied into our theme, and the guests were raving about it. Not to mention the taste. Lots of people had multiple slices. I had enough to take home as well, which made my preggo self very happy!! I still get happy thinking about the chocolate devil’s food cake with Salted Caramel buttercream...mmmmm!!!

s and designs. My daughter came with some ideas, but the examples in the shop helped her and her fiancé visualize their concept. Every flavor of cake and frosting we tried were wonderful. It was really hard to decide, but Vanessa helped us through that part of the decision as well sketching-out the final design. Since Amy Beck Cake Design is a preferred supplier with our venue, I did not have to think about the cake again after we completed the contract. The venue even posted a picture of our beautiful cake through Instagram right after the wedding! I highly recommend Amy Beck Cake Design for a wedding cake or any other celebration where you want a tasty, custom-designed cake.

biggest cake lover, but if all cakes tasted and looked as beautiful as these it is safe to say I'd probably be eating cake A LOT. We will absolutely recommend Amy Beck Cake Design to all of our friends and family. Thanks Amy, you (and your cakes) are amazing!

to work with. There was a great selection of flavors. On the day of our wedding, the cake arrived with no issues and we enjoyed it so much! We definitely recommend Amy Beck Cake Design for your wedding day. (Married Oct 2016)

l for wedding cake. These cakes make you want to go back for seconds. There are such a variety of flavors too. It is a really fun tasting! Amy created hand painted watercolor flowers and leaves that where on the cake which surrounded the custom monogram we had made, the cake was accented with fresh flowers which Amy coordinated with the florist. Who else would go to such detail? Only Amy Beck Cake Design! The watercolor flowers Amy created for the cake was so beautiful, and my daughter loved it SO MUCH, it was used for the church programs and the table menus! A true artist! The Grooms mother and many of our guests had gluten allergies, and Amy Beck was able to have gluten free cake for that those who needed it they were raving about! There was a storm the night of my daughters wedding and in the rush to leave the planner never took the top of the cake, my husband never tried it, I felt awful! I called Amy Beck Cake Design and they were so wonderful to us and gave us a small cake for our family to have when my daughter and new son in law came home from their honeymoon. How many businesses would do that? I can't say enough about our experience with Amy Beck personally, her staff, and Amy Beck Cake Design. If you want to be sure you are getting an outstanding, memorable, great tasting, and beautiful cake use Amy Beck. Once we picked flavors, set the design and ordered, we didn't have to give it a second thought. They are the best! Amy Beck Cake Design is Chicago's BEST!

r cakes!

e cake would be the vision I had dreamed of. Throughout the entire process, Vanessa offered suggestions such as our cake topper to make sure it fit the look I wanted & was extremely easy to work with! When I saw my wedding cake on the day of the wedding, I instantly ran to my photographer to make sure they took tons of pictures & looked for my husband to tell him how perfect it looked! They had put my precise vision into something absolutely perfect! I should also mention besides the design it was absolutely delicious! My friends are still telling me how awesome my cake is. I would HIGHLY recommend Amy Beck & Vanessa for an incredible wedding or special occasion cake!

ous options. I highly recommend!
