We ordered our wedding cake for July 2024. Our cake turned out more beautiful than I could have imagined! It was also so delicious! We went with a classic 2 tier with raspberry filling. All of our guests raved about how moist and yummy it was! They also did a beautiful job decorating it. I dropped off a large bag of random artificial flowers, and gave them creative freedom to use them. It was so perfect!

Calumet Bakery is the best. The cake looked so beautiful- exactly what we ordered. We received so many compliments on how much better this cake was than typically you receive at a wedding. I can’t wait to order another cake from them!

We had a wonderful experience with Calumet Bakery! We did a small 10" round cake for our wedding. It was decorated like a tree stump and had chocolate raspberry on the inside. They even added our initials "carved" into the tree and a few flowers at the base. The cake tasting process was wonderful too! We felt like we knew exactly what we wanted after our tasting session. They give you huge pieces to try - come prepared to take home the leftovers! The only thing I would say is be careful if your wedding is on a Sunday. We got married on a Sunday, so we had to pick up the cake on Saturday (since the store is closed on Sunday). The line was crazy long to pick up - wrapped around the building, and even though we had a specified time to pick up, we still had to wait a very long time! Try to do delivery if possible! Thank you, Calumet Bakery, for an absolutely beautiful and delicious cake that tied our wedding theme together!

The cake was fantastic, both in appearance and taste. We chose raspberry fluff, chocolate-chocolate, and lemon flavors. The guests all commented on the delicious and beautiful cake. We would 100% buy from Calumet Bakery again.

The consultation was great. I had a cupcake cake vision and they executed it perfectly. The cake and cupcakes were fantastic. My family and friends loved them as well. The price was reasonable and I would definitely go back for any other bakery needs.

My cake was not delivered to my venue even though it was paid in full 4 months prior to the wedding. My venue called numerous times and no one answered or attempted to help. My bridesmaids had to get on the phone with Calumet bakery and some pictures had to be postponed due to this. Calumet bakery did not seem very sorry that they did not deliver the cake. Eventually someone was sent out to deliver the cake hours late. When approached today they did minimal to reimburse me for all the havoc they caused on my wedding day. I will never order a cake from there again.

We received a ton of compliments on how delicious our wedding cake was thanks to Calumet Bakery. We opted to do one small cake that we could cut & have for pictures and purchased a sheet cake to be sliced for guests to enjoy. A much more affordable option and allows your guests to have a cake with buttercream frosting which is much more yummy than fondant. We went with a marble cake and strawberry filling, yum! They also provided some complimentary donuts for our catering team which I thought was a very thoughtful gesture. Affordable prices compared to the city and delivered to the West Loop of Chicago with no issues. Highly recommend!

I received so many compliments on how good the cake taste. The cake was more beautiful than I imagined. Also, they make you a fresh top layer as opposed to having to save it. I had lemon & vanilla custard. A 3 Tier with a full sheet in the kitchen.

Cake was aboustly beautiful. They created exactly what I imagined. Day of the wedding cake tasted amazing. Don't let the tasting fool you, the cakes they use for you to sample are pre-made and not as favlorful or moist.

Our wedding cake was phenomenal! We were deciding between two bakeries for our cake but ended up choosing Calumet Bakery because of their excellent customer service. Our initial meeting was well organized and they didn’t skimp on the tasting portions which we appreciated since the other bakery only gave us a bite between 3 people. My only disappointment was that we were told that if our florist left the flowers that the delivery person would put them on our cake. Right before our ceremony we had to scramble to get the flowers on the cake before the guests arrived. It was just an added stress that could have been avoided. The cake, however, was amazing! We chose the fantasy fluff and can’t wait to enjoy it again for our anniversary.

Very smooth process from cake tasting to day of wedding. Cake was beautiful and all of my guests liked the taste of the cake (i'm not a big cake person, so I didn't have much). We had a three tier cake, with sheet cakes in the back. Prices are reasonable. Definitely will use again!

Calumet Bakery has the best cake around. They made our cake look exactly like we wanted. The flavors were sooooo good.
Communication with them is poor. The employees that answer the phone every time we had a question were short with us. I nearly didn't go with them because of their customer service. Cassidy, the wedding coordinator for them is who kept me there. She is super friendly and she worked around our schedule.

Our cake was delicious and looked very elegant. We had the white chocolate raspberry and it was amazing. I even had my family clamoring over the leftovers. Fantastic bakery for just a doughnut or a wedding cake. Love them!

I had so many compliments on our cupcakes. We had a small cake to cut, and then a cupcake tower with several different flavors. They were decorated perfectly, with just enought bling, and so tasty! I am really excited for our first anniversary when they will provide us with a small cake, since we all know freezing your top layer of your cake never is good.

Our cake was both beautiful and delicious, which is often hard to find.
It was a little difficult to get in for an appointment, but I completely contribute that to the bakery being a great business, busy with lots of happy customers.
I would definitely give Calumet Bakery an A+ rating to anyone looking for both a delicious and beautiful cake.

I love this place.... I had never heard of this bakery and I went to several different places for my wedding cake and i wasn't satisfied with what I was seeing, til one day we received a card in our mailbox from Calumet Bakery and I called. They won me over when I asked if they did tasting's and they said we don't make wedding cakes without a tasting, when other places I looked into didn't. We went in for cake tasting and fell in love. The consultant was Dora and she was very real and explained everything we needed to know. Also the cake was great and we didn't have a piece left after the wedding... Great place to make your dreams come true and they were on time, cake was there before me!!!! Highly recommend...

We visited Calumet bakery with a picture of the design of the cake I wanted in hand. we met with Kerry who was very accomodating and set us up with 4 different huge slices of cake for us to taste. They were very moist and tasty. We worked with one of the bakers to design our cake and get the colors exactly how I wanted them. After we ordered the cake and had everything set up, I emailed Kerry to request a grooms cake. I saw a picture of a grooms cake that I thought was so cute. Kerry assured me they could make the cake with the design I chose. On the day of, when I saw my cake sitting in the middle of the dance floor, I was in awe. It was so beautiful and was even more beautiful than the cake I envisioned. It was perfect! And the grooms cake was a nice surprise for everyone and my husband who was in shock. We received rave reviews on the taste of the cake and how beautiful it was. We went with 4 different cake flavors- Carrot, Chocolate, Red Velvet, White cake with Strawberries and custard. I wish I had some now!! They were awesome!

We have been going to Calumet Bakery for as long as I could remember, so it was a no brainer to use them for our wedding cake. We came in and were able to taste 3 different types of cakes to help us choose which one we wanted for our cake. We already had an idea in mind of what we wanted our cake to look like, and they did a fantastic job of creating exactly what we had envisioned. Our cake was gorgeous on our wedding day and we are still getting compliments on how beautiful it was, and how great it tasted. We will continue to come back to Calumet Bakery!

We have gone to this bakery for years. The cake taste was amazing. They still do cake tasting which I found not all do without high charges. The cake looked exactly how I requested. Some friends and family have complained about organization. It is true they are not obsessive with details but they more than make up for it with quality and extras!! We also had them do our dessert table and showers with mini desserts and people raved and raved!!!

My fiance and I went to Calumet Bakery on Torrence Ave in Lansing IL.
I was not looking for a traditional wedding cake. I wanted simple but colorful. I told the sales girl that I just wanted a 2 layer cake. She called the decorator up front so that I could talk to her in person. I explained what I wanted, ivory and bright colors, the decorator was very helpful and made some great suggestions.
My fiance picked up the cake the day of the wedding and brought it to the hall, when we took it out of the box. It was WAY more than I had expected. Ivory frosting with bright fowers in different shapes and sizes trailing down the side of the cake.
The price was also way less than I had expected to pay after speaking to other brides. The cake was absolutely delicious!

Calumet Bakery did a wonderful job on my wedding cake.
I went to the Lansing location with my now-husband, my sister, and my mom to do a cake tasting about 2 months before my wedding. Our consultant was very friendly and knowledgeable; she was the one who would actually do our cake. She brought us several samples, and they were all absolutely delicious – the chocolate with mocha filling was what we eventually decided upon, though everything else was wonderful too (especially the red velvet!). I brought in a picture to show what I generally wanted for my cake, and it turns out they had a picture in one of their catalogues of what I wanted (a 3-tiered, round cake with cherry blossom branches). Our consultant gave us various options based on how many guests we thought we would have. Once we were finished, all we had to do was pay a deposit on the way out and bring in a swatch of the color for the outside of the cake.
The cake turned out so much more beautiful than I even imagined! It was delivered to my reception site before I even got there, so there was no stress in wondering where my cake was. It tasted amazing, and my guests really enjoyed it. I would highly recommend Calumet Bakery for any couple looking for a bakery to do their wedding cake.

I ordered my wedding cake from Calumet Bakery. During my appointment, I was able to try as many cakes as I wanted (they even made up one that they didn't make that day!). And they boxed up the left-overs for me to take home. I brought in a picture of what I wanted my cake to look like and it was perfect!! I even dropped off flowers at the last minute to have them put on the cake and it wasn't a problem.

I was already impressed with Calumet Bakery when I went for a taste tasting to decide if I wanted to go with them. They gave me full size pieces of whatever I wanted to taste and were not rushing me or pushing me to make a decision.
My wedding cake was amazing. I ended up picked banana cream filling with yellow cake. They did a really nice job decorating it also ( I had a lot of compliments).
Just a side note, the piece size of the cake are huge and I had a ton of leftover cake.

EVERYTHING!! You tell them what you want your cake to look like and they draw it out in front of you and offer alot of pictures to draw from. They also use real flowers on their cakes which were absolutely beautiful. I loved that they offer fondat cakes and a variety of flavors. The taste testing is enough to win anyone over, it is delicious!
