We couldn’t have been happier with our wedding cake! It was a stunning 4-tier masterpiece that looked absolutely beautiful and tasted even better. Every layer was delicious, and it was everything we had hoped for and more. The tasting process was such a fun experience—they made it so easy and enjoyable to choose our flavors. The team was wonderful to work with from start to finish—professional, creative, and genuinely kind. Highly recommend!

Our wedding cake was stunning and exactly what we hoped for. We also did a sweets table with a variety of different sweets from their menu. Everything turned out so well and our guests loved the variety of sweets. Our wedding cake was delicious and we cannot wait to order our next cake from them.

Becky and the creative cakes team did a fantastic job with our wedding day cake! Becky made the process easy for us as she provided a tasting kit with the different cake flavors and frostings to pick our combinations for the different cake levels. After meeting with her virtually, she designed a beautiful cake for our big day. We got lots of compliments on how delicious the cake was!

Creative Cakes made our wedding cake and absolutely blew my expectations of what a wedding cake could be out of the water. Their tasting process was so simple - pick up a sampler of their cakes and buttercreams to take home and have at your own convenience. Their product was delicious and we had a hard time choosing what we wanted - ultimately went with a banana cake and white chocolate frosting. Working with their designers was so simple as well. The final product was exactly what we had envisioned and tasted even better than I remembered from our tasting. We still get compliments to this day on how good our cake was from our guests! I can't recommend the bakery enough.

Our wedding cake from Creative Cakes Bakery was absolutely amazing. Not only was it delicious, it was so gorgeous! Everyone was so nice and easy to work with. We had 3 flavors - red velvet with white chocolate mousse, yellow with fudge and white with raspberry preserves. We had a full sweet table as well but we still had no cake left at the end of the night because it was so delicious and popular! If you need a beautiful and tasty wedding cake look no further!! Thank you creative cakes!

We had a very good experience with Creative Cakes. Our venue included a cake with their bridal package and Creative Cakes was the bakery we had to use. Working with Becky was a lot of fun. We were able to incorporate the faux flowers we were using for our wedding decor along with a Chicago Cubs theme as an ode to our engagement at Wrigley Field. I like how we could take the samples home and decide with some more time to spare. The end result was beautiful and equally delicious.

We ordered a small cutting cake for our wedding & it was exactly what we hoped for! The staff was super friendly and easy to work with. They made cake testing very fun & enjoyable by sending you home with "cake flights." The cake was reasonably priced & absolutely delicious. It was packed up efficiently to make an hour road trip to our venue. We recommend to anyone!

Creative Cakes is the absolute best! Our wedding cake was perfect! We worked with Becky and her team, and they were truly outstanding. From our first meeting, Becky guided us through every step of the process, took detailed notes, and asked questions to help us think through every detail. She even shared a sketch based on what we discussed. Becky was incredibly patient and understanding of last-minute changes. She is knowledgeable, flexible, and truly cares about her customers. Our guests absolutely loved the cake, with several asking where we got it. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thanks for everything!

We used Creative Cakes for our wedding this past Saturday. We are so happy we went with them - our cake was beautiful and absolutely delicious. We did not want to spend too much money on cake and we made a plan with them where we could have a small 2-tier cake and order sheet cakes to accommodate the remainder of our guests. It turned out to be way more affordable than we thought it would be and the cake was SO GOOD. They delivered to our venue as well and we were able to use our cake topper and flowers we got from the grocery store.

Our cake was beautiful and so tasty! Creative cakes responded quick to everything we asked and the tasting process was so much fun! Our guests loved our cake! We ordered a top tier of our cake before our wedding so we could see and try it. The sample was 45 dollars and huge. I called the day of picking up the sample to make sure it was ready and somehow my order was canceled but creative cakes was able to figure it out and had my cake ready by the time I arrived. Can't wait to get our 1 year anniversary cake!

Our venue partnered with a few bakeries for us to choose from - one of which was Creative Cakes. We are so glad we chose them! Multiple people told us how this was the best wedding cake they've had (both taste and design). Creative Cakes worked with us to create the perfect design and it turned out beautifully! The cake also tasted amazing - not the typical dry cake you have at weddings.

A wedding cake was included as part of our wedding package at our venue. We knew instead of a full cake, we wanted to do a small cake for cutting and a dessert table. Create Cakes was so accommodating and very willing to talk through our options with us. There were lots of options to choose from for our dessert table, and everything was delicious! Our little cake turned out even better than I could have imagined, and everyone raved about how good the desserts were! The cake was so good, we ended up ordering a birthday cake from Creative Cakes a few weeks later too.

They helped us with our design and gave us a sketch beforehand of what it would look like, which was very helpful. They also include a topper for your one year anniversary so you don’t have to eat year old cake on your first anniversary. We HIGHLY recommend them!!

Would highly recommend having your wedding cake from this bakery!

Creative Cakes was the bakery our venue worked with, and I was really glad because the experience with them was amazing. Our main contact was Bonnie and she was cheerful and always took the time to communicate with us either through phone or email. We stared with a phone meeting. I had a very specific image in my head of what I was looking for since we were getting married on Halloween and had a theme of “elegant masquerade ball”. I told Bonnie my vision and gave her some pictures, not even of cake, and she made my vision come to life. It looked exactly as I wanted. Everyone commented on how unique and beautiful it was. We also had a home tasting kit which, with our busy schedules, was perfect. All the flavors were really good. I would recommend based on my pleasant experience and beautiful look and taste of our cake.

Creative Cakes was the bakery our venue worked with, but we would have picked them on our own! This was the best experience in our wedding planning by far. We did not plan to really have a strong opinion on a cake. But from the on your own and at home tasting to the virtual meeting we had an amazing time and came up with a cake that we both loved. And it was so tasty! Also the bakery was extremely helpful with my husbands dietary needs!

We absolutely loved working with creative cakes for our wedding cake! I'm so glad I was suggested them because their gluten free cake is the BEST cake I've ever had. It was so flavorful and airy, unlike any other gluten-free cake I've had before. The team there has been so great to us and our family. They were very accommodating to our requests. We received so many compliments on how yummy the cake was at our wedding. I can't wait to get more cakes from them in the future :)

Perfection in cake form. From drawing to reality, our cake was magnificent. We worked together to draw the cake vision and we could not be happier with how it turned out. We did a tasting of our specific flavor combination since it was not on their normal menu. We really wanted a rhubarb gin cake so we supplied the jam and rhubarb gin and they made the cake! The buttercream piping was exceptional. I don’t like fondant cake and wanted a very vintage and traditional three tiered floral decorative cake and they did it beautifully! I also provided floral decor to add to it and a topper and they added both!

Creative cakes was super easy to work with and was a great hit for our event. Our favorite part of the wedding planning was getting to try the cake and their testing platter made it easy to pick the perfect cake. We had a hard time deciding on just one combination so we ended up getting a combination of our favorites in alternating tiers. The cake arrived looking perfect and exactly like the photo we asked them to copy.
All our guests enjoyed the cake and we can't wait to try it again on our one year anniversary.

We were able to send in inspiration pictures for our cake, and they did an amazing job bringing our vision to life. Their attention to details is impeccable. For our wedding we had a stunning cake and several types of cupcakes. Our guests were raving! We also used Creative Cakes for a dessert bar at the bridal shower where almost everything was devoured. We received so many compliments at the shower that we knew we made the right choice for our actual wedding as well. I cannot highly recommend Creative Cakes enough.

I’ve been going to Creative Cakes for pastries and coffee for years, so when I got engaged, I knew exactly who I wanted to get my cake from. They made everything so easy, from cake tasting (they sent me home with two packages of cupcakes with different frosting and filling options to try), to ordering, to drop off at the venue. If there were any issues, I didn’t know about them. We ordered three tiers, each a different flavor, and they got it exactly right. My cake was gorgeous AND delicious.

We are so happy with our experience using Creative Cakes for our wedding cake and desserts! Becky was a joy to work with and the price point was extremely reasonable. They even offer couples a replica of their cake on their 1st anniversary instead of having to eat cake that was in the freezer for a year! We opted for a more simple style, but they offer all sorts of wedding cake styles from small to large and simple to very lavish, but one thing that doesn't change is how good it tastes! We also ordered a cookie tray and it was perfect for our group. The drop off experience and set-up went smoothly and I was over the moon when I saw the cake at our reception - it was perfect! Highly recommend!

Fran and the Creative Cakes team did an amazing job designing and baking our 5-tier wedding cake. They talked us through all of the options during our tasting and were able to help us narrow to two different flavor combinations: chocolate with peanut butter and chiffon with lemon and raspberry. The cake arrived and they were able to incorporate the topper seamlessly. The cake was beautiful and incredibly photogenic. But most importantly, all of our guests raved about how delicious the cake was - both flavor combinations were a complete hit!

AMAZING!
Everything from the tasting experience to the actual wedding day was delicious. The cake was so moist, light, and airy and my guests are still talking about it.
My husband and I wanted to customize our cake with a comic strip border and a little Spiderman made out of fondant and they surpassed our expectations by making that vision a reality.
Customer service is top notch too! I received immediate email replies to all my questions and even the occasional phone call to ensure everything met my expectations during the days leading up to my wedding.
For real though, this place is so good I will probably start using it for any special ocassions where I'm in need of baked goods. They have way more than just cake and even their cookies and pastries are tasty!

We met Creative Cakes at at Bridal fair and immediately fell in love with the bakery! We saw a post on their Instagram of a brownie tower that they created for a previous wedding and we LOVED the creative idea! We ended up ordering a brownie for the reception, however, due to COVID we cancelled our reception. Luckily, Creative Cakes was so understanding and flexible with our change of plans and we were able to order a sheet cake for our micro-wedding. instead of the tower. The design turned out beautiful, and the cake was absolutely delicious. Thank you to Creative Cakes for providing such a tasty product for our wedding day!
