About this vendor
From concept to manifestation, we believe we are making more than just cake. Instead, we are crafting your vision, for your day. Clean lines and jaw dropping design are a given, but its the extra heart we put into our cakes that help make your wedding uniquely yours.
We want to make the very best tasting cake in Chicago. That starts with the best ingredients. In fact, we are the only bakery in Chicago making cakes with organic butter and eggs, raw American honey, organic whole milk yogurt, and hand made super premium fillings as well as a selection of ripe, hand picked fresh fruit filling.
We think you will taste the difference. Book a tasting on our website today!

Not good at all. We paid for a tasting for our upcoming wedding and got 4 different flavors to try: vanilla , lemon, red velvet, and chocolate. Each and every piece of cake was dry...
and tasted like it had been made days ago. Was not fresh and moist how one would expect a cake to be. Maybe they put more time and effort into the actual cake made for an event, but the cakes that we had during our tasting was not good at all. We went with another bakery.
Bjorn cakes did such an amazing job on our wedding cake! From the initial consultation all the way up to the day-of they did a beyond amazing job. They listened to exactly what we ...
wanted for the design and it was beyond what we could have hoped for. We got the strawberry and champagne cake and received SO many compliments from our guests that it was truly the best wedding cake they have ever had. We highly recommend Bjorn Cakes!
The cake is seriously some of the best cake ever! We could not have been more happy with the cake... the customer service could use a little work. But overall everything went smoot...
hly and I would recommend!
Kort and the Bjorn Cake crew are amazing. We had our wedding cake tasting a year before our wedding day and were welcomed with his grandmother's china. We tasted so many amazing cr...
eations it was fantastic. Not only that, but when we told him of our crazy vision for our wedding day cake, he welcomed it with open arms and tons of excitement. We let him pick a Calvin & Hobbes cartoon for the center tier and he picked the perfect one. We asked him for Totoro cake toppers, and he delivered. The wedding cake flavor was as incredible as we remembered from a year ago. Our family all texted and called asking me where we got that cake from and we didn't let them finish asking before we gave them all the Bjorn Cake information. Bravo to the team, bravo for your incredible creations. We adore you guys!!!
We had a tasting with Kort for our wedding cake and after it, we didn't feel the need to try any others. Kort created a beautiful cake that was absolutely delicious and it was exac...
tly what I had envisioned. We knew we wanted a cake with real pressed flowers and sprinkles, and it was done perfectly. We decided on two flavors - walnut cake with cream cheese frosting, and lemon cake with pistachio buttercream and fresh raspberries. They were both absolutely delicious, super moist, fresh, and not overly sweet. We can't say enough good things, we loved our experience with Bjorn Cakes!
Kort was so lovely to work with for our wedding cake! From the very first moment, he went over and above in customer service - and was wiling to answer any questions I had (event t...
he ones I asked multiple times)! I love that they use organic butter and eggs and their flavors are AWESOME! Highly recommend for a cake of any occasion.
The cakes was beautiful and all the guests said it was delicious. Even my sister who hates cakes. Bjorn cakes have the best prices in Chicago for top notch quality. And the level o...
f professionalism from the carefully planned and thought out tasting to delivery and communication was superb. I would highly recommend them to any bride looking to receive many compliments on a job well done.

e tasting to the deliver and the deliciousness of the cake was amazing. I would highly recommend using Bjorn cakes to make your wedding beautiful.
My wife and I share many things in common and that is a sweet tooth. We got married back in November and wanted to channel a sense of autumn into our celebration so we opted for ou...
r favorite kind of cake which is carrot cake. We had also wanted to infuse the frosting with a maple flavor as well. We provided these specifics to Kort who was more than happy to oblige. My wife and I weren't hung up on the appearance of the cake, so long as it tasted amazing. So we just went for a plain two-tier cake (about 60 servings) while supplemented with smaller desserts from the caterer. It couldn't have worked out better.
We had known what we wanted, but nevertheless Kort provided a thorough and diverse offering in the way of a tasting and still had us choose a few other cake/frosting combos to see if something else might strike our fancy. All the cakes we tried were wonderful, but he really knocked it out of the park with our maple carrot cake. My wife and I weren't so traditional so as to keep some of it to freeze for next year, but after having it at the reception it was so good that we kicked ourselves for not saving more for later. Oh well, guess we'll just have to go back and have more. Thanks again, Kort!
Kort was easy to work with, and made a delicious and beautiful cake. He has many unique flavor options, and is willing to do non-standard combinations (as well as standard wedding...
flavors). We went with a lemon cake with pistachio buttercream and fresh strawberries. The flavors were subtle and well-balanced. He also did a fantastic job decorating the cake. I would highly recommend Kort for both wedding cakes, and other special occasions.
Our cake from Bjorn Cakes far exceeded our expectations and everyone loved it! It was not only beautiful, but DELICIOUS! Kort was wonderful to work with - I would highly highly rec...

The cake tasting here was an amazing experience! First, of course - the cakes tasted absolutely amazing! Lemon cake with white chocolate frosting blew my mind. Also, Kort was great...
to talk to, he listed to what ideas I had and the whole experience from in the door to the follow-ups after were great. Unfortunately, I chose to last minute get married out of the country so I am not able to order from him - but the next time I need a cake, this is absolutely my go to! (its BYOB - so bring some champagne for your experience!)
Searched all over Chicago for a baker that could accommodate my husband's gluten sensitivity. I couldn't find a single one until I came across Bjorn Cakes online. Not only was th...

Kort made my engagement cupcakes when I tell you I was trying to get a good picture of them they were all gone and I ordered 60 cupcakes.. can’t wait to get my wedding ...
cake through him and for my guest to try it. Bjorne Cakes, needs to be 10 stars not 5
My cake was everything! I gave Kort the picture I wanted for my cake and he killed it. It was classic and beautiful. It was very tasty.
I've had the pleasure of trying several flavors. My favorite is the vanilla with blueberry cake, but the rich chocolate is a close second. I can only say good things. So delicious!...
Exquisite, really. Not-too sweet; just right. These cakes are as beautiful as they are delicious. Would recommend them wholeheartedly.
The sugar flowers will make you do a double and triple look, and the taste will make you want three slices as well. They make the planning/design process really easy.
I used Bjorn Cakes for my event and I couldn’t be happier about it! Since day one, Kort (the owner) went above and beyond to make us happy! First, he sent us a tasting (delivered t...
o my house, thanks for saving me time!) which included three different types of cakes (talk about commitment to clients!). We loved all theee of them (the lavender filling was to die for), but went with the pistachio and almond flavor. Perfect amount of sugar, not overly sweet, even kids loved it!
The cake in itself was beautiful, delivered on time, and with no complications.
Doesn’t get more “premium” than that!
Elegant, breath-taking, and absolutely delicious.
I have eaten many cakes in my day, and I have never seen or had such a unique one until Bjorn Cakes.
The flavor was a creamy v...
anilla buttercream that melted in my mouth, and filled with just the perfect balance of fresh strawberries and Argentinean Dulce De Leche. The pairing was beautifully aromatic.
Artfully prepared, Bjorn Cakes! I will for sure be seeking you out for any occasion that may need a dessert.
