Cake Chicago

n who made the process so much easier. She was able to create a fake/display cake in the exact floral/delicate design I wanted! She also was able to combine my love for vanilla and my husband’s love for chocolate in a split cake. We are so happy we went with her services. I highly highly highly recommend her for any events! I will definitely be using her services again for future birthdays, baby showers, and other happy events!

fun tasting all of the different flavors during the cake tasting. Jo-Anne was able to sketch out our perfect wedding cake design by only asking us a few questions. We really appreciated what felt like special treatment and her personal touches (We love the idea of passing our cake topper down to other generations and hope to be able to do this in the future). Jo-Anne created the most beautiful wedding cake, and our guests could not stop talking about how delicious it was! She also made us feel so special by emailing us on the morning of our wedding. Jo-Anne is truly a special person and baker, and we feel so lucky to have worked with her and her team.

Our cake tasting experience was so much fun and super helpful. Jo-Anne guided us through everything and made the whole process enjoyable. We were so happy with the cake we chose — not a single regret! If you're getting married in Chicago, I can’t recommend Cake Chicago enough. You have to check them out for your wedding cake! 10/10 — highly recommend!

n and very informative and we have no regrets on the cake we went with. If you are getting married in Chicago, you have to use Cake Chicago for your wedding cake needs! 10/10 – highly recommend!

h gorgeous and delicious. So many of our guests commented on how great the cake was!

one! Quick and easy, which allowed us to focus on other vendors. The cake looked and tasted exactly how we wanted.

new which direction to go. She sent us off with a variety of flavors of cake and icing that we picked out so we can craft our cake flavors. Every option was a good option because of how impressive every flavor was. We went with a white cake w/ creme brulee icing, with italian meringue center, and yellow cake w/ cream cheese

ficult at all to pick out Cake Chicago as our vendor. The sponge was so moist and not over sweet, and the fillings were all so great that we had a hard time picking our final flavor combo. I've lost track of how many guests came up to us in person just to praise the cake on our wedding cake. We recently celebrated our one-year anniversary and enjoyed a lovely anniversary cake from Cake Chicago, and needless to say it was so pretty and tasty and brought back the fond memories of our wedding day. Will recommend 5/5 to any couple that would love a pretty, tasty wedding cake.

terested in Chicago and need a baker, she is the one for you.

ogether. She met with us for an hour and at no point did we feel rushed when going over our options. We ended up going with a combination we never expected for our wedding cake. It was Chocolate w/ Tiramisu filling in the center with a thin layer Italian Meringue AND a Yellow Butter cake w/ Coconut Creme Center thin layer Italian Meringue. It was amazing and we can't wait to eat it again on our anniversary. 10/10 recommend

ated architectural elements of our venue and included trim from my mom's wedding veil (which I also wore)! Absolutely incredibly artistry and experience. Would highly recommend using Cake Chicago for your wedding!

ite of our cake at the reception so I ordered more!

can't wait to have it again on our 1 year wedding anniversary :) Thank you Jo-Anne and CAKE!

ientist, and that it’s definitely appreciated in her cakes. We had so much fun doing the tasting at home (all of the flavor options were absolutely delicious and it was very hard to choose), and then deciding the cake decoration from a beautiful catalog of masterpieces. On August 21st we had a rustic/boho wedding and the cake was the perfect touch. All the guests were amazed with how good the cake was. I highly recommend them if you want your dream wedding cake.

tion, she greeted me with a kind and genuine energy. Even more, she knew what cake design best exemplified my wedding ~vibe~ before I did! A three tier cake with classic Jackie-O style with ribbon and pearls. And speaking for my guests, it was a very memorable slice. But, the for most beautiful thing about this whole experience - Jo-Anne reminded me that cake is a food constant. We eat cake to celebrate baptisms, birthdays, graduations, weddings. On my 50th anniversary, I look forward to eating white cake with chocolate fudge and raspberry conserve.

supposed to be decorated with flowers but they were never placed on (not sure if that's the fault of the floral team or the cake team though) so the cake looked pretty plain

otanic Garden turned out amazing and she even gave us an anniversary cake as a bonus! If you want the most delicious flavors on your big day then definitely get your cake from here!

ous and I can't wait to have it again for our anniversary!!

of experience in this field, but she is also a breath of fresh air in the wedding industry. It is truly a pleasure to speak with her and work with her, and you can tell she puts her heart and soul into everything she does. Jo-Anne sent a cake tasting kit all the way to North Carolina (where we live) so we could have the full tasting experience, even when we couldn't get out to Chicago ourselves. Each combo we tried was absolutely delicious but we landed on red velvet cake/cream cheese filling and vanilla cake/salted caramel filling. Our guests RAVED about our cake on our wedding day! I cannot wait to continue to support Jo-Anne and her business in the future. Not only was the cake delicious, but her truffles and other goodies are just as incredible. Please do yourself a favor and try something from Cake Chicago ASAP!

and she was so patient and gave such great recommendation. We decided on a yellow buttermilk cake, with coconut cream and raspberry conserve and it was absolutely delicious! Our cake was beautiful decorated and our guests loved the cake! Thank you so much, Jo-Anne!

reat person. Jo-Anne made the at home tasting process so much fun for us with our little goodie bag kit - so much so that we had trouble actually choosing! We also purchased her signature Chubby Wubbies as favors for our guests, which were a huge hit. Highly recommend working with Jo-Ann for all of your cake needs!

e definitely did not disappoint! Honestly it was the best cake I think I have ever eaten, even more amazing than the tastings!! We didn’t even know where to start and she walked us through the flavor combinations she thought best fit us personally and our wedding vision, and we ended up choosing the first combination she named! When we saw the cake on our wedding day it was even more beautiful than I pictured, and exactly what we wanted. We even got truffle wedding favors from her because after tasting the cake I knew they would not disappoint and our guests raved about them all weekend! You cannot go wrong with Jo-Anne - she makes the best cake in Chicago!

large, and the presentation was beautiful. Jo-Anne is extremely warm and knowledgeable. She even baked us a fresh anniversary cake a couple of weeks after our wedding (we have been eating it everyday since). Totally great experience!

ould have imagined! At the tasting we were able to build a truly delicious cake with Jo-Anne's expertise and guidance. The flavor offerings are incredible! We decided ultimately on two flavors of cake and three flavor fillings which wowed everyone, especially the cannoli filling! My husband and I even got to enjoy a slice of cake in the room after the reception that was saved for us--and it was the perfect ending of the night! I cannot recommend Cake Chicago enough we were truly so blown away by the attention to detail, sincerity of Jo-Anne , and the overall deliciousness of the cake!

olutely stunning. Our friends raved about our cake and it’s going to take a lot of convincing to not eat any again before our one year.

go wrong with Cake sweet food Chicago!

The tasting was well worth it and just has a sense of quality beyond the other bakers we tried. She is extremely flexible with combinations of cake and filling and being able to incorporate multiple combinations. We were sold after our tasting. We had a lot of initial questions and she answered all of them without us having to actually ask. After showing the design we were interested in, she was happy to offer suggestions, but definitely didn't pressure us to change anything. We chose a faux cake and had the actual cake sliced ready for serving. They were able to coordinate with our florist to add floral to the faux cake as well. She was able to suggest different options to offset cost. Her and team were definitely on top of everything and we didn't have to worry about the wedding cake at all. They were very responsive in all communications. They were right on schedule the day of our wedding. Cake was recommended by our friends and we are so glad we chose Cake. Don't hesitate to try them out. Thank you! Danny & Kristin

nd trying her AMAZING flavors, we knew it would be fantastic. During our tasting, she took the time to learn about us and our wedding. We didn't have a design in mind so it was great to work with someone who actually wanted to incorporate personalized elements. The cake design was spot on - taking inspiration from all different parts of our wedding but still keeping the design clean. Plus, she was able to incorporate our dogs. Then the cake taste... OMG! it was so hard to decide on flavors but, don't worry, you can't go wrong. So thrilled with having Jo-Anne at Cake as our baker!

f town bride, I had limited availability to meet in person, but she worked hard to adjust her schedule so that I could come in person with my husband and our parents for our cake tasting. We so appreciated this!! We had a blast at the cake tasting – her cakes are absolutely delicious, and she has so many incredible flavor combinations to choose from. One of the things I am most grateful for is Jo-Anne’s willingness and ability to accommodate for those who were gluten free. I (the bride) am gluten free, and we had approx. 15 gluten free guests as well. Without hesitation, Jo-Anne offered to make a separate gluten free sheet cake in a dedicated gluten free baking facility, slice them into individual pieces, wrap/package them, label them, and deliver them to our venue. All of our gluten free guests (myself included) were SO excited to be able to enjoy some wedding cake!! Both the GF and regular wedding cakes were absolutely delicious!!! Without a doubt, we will be recommending Jo-Anne to our friends and family, and will be ordering from her again for other special occasions :)

nd the flavors/textures of her cakes are absolutely incredible! They make everything in house and the care and consideration that goes into each cake is truly off the charts. The most special thing is that for your one year anniversary they will make you a fresh anniversary cake - no more freezer burnt, year old cake to celebrate one year of marriage! So special!

e cake making process. I highly, highly recommend Cake Chicago!

ld go with. All of our guests at the wedding loved it and raved about how tasty and moist the cake was (which wedding cakes are usually so dry). We had 273 people at our wedding and had no cake leftover, that explains it all right there.

ns and can basically design any cake you want!

it completely blew us away with how delicious and special it turned out. No question that we made the right choice!

redible experience! It was one of the most fun parts of wedding planning! we cannot wait to eat our cake again in one year! Thank you Jo-Anne! We appreciate you!

times, and when we made the time to go, the main person wasn't even there!! They didn't follow up with us for MONTHS with our sketch, the flavors we picked, and the pricing for additional tiers. It took me, my mom, and my event planner several phone calls and emails for them to finally get back to us (a month before the wedding) 2. The flavors were not anything to write home about. Some of the guests said the frosting just tasted like butter. Some guests did say the lemon flavor was really good. 3. The extra $$ we paid for the design was not at all worth it. The design I had discussed with her assistant was completely different then what we got that day. I was so disappointed that we had paid extra money for a bland looking cake. Overall I was extremely disappointed with the service, the flavor, and the design...all 3 things that are a must have in a cake!!!

er how big or small the event!

great time experimenting with different flavors and combinations. Since our vendor (Chicago Athletic Association) outsources its cake-making, we were a little dubious but wound up very pleased and grateful that they chose Cake Chicago. Would definitely recommend!
