About this vendor
Fleckenstein's Bakery is well known in the south Chicagoland Area for creating the finest wedding cakes available thanks to the hard work of our devoted team. They insist that a wedding cake is not created more than 24 hours in advance of the reception. They work long hours on the weekend to ensure the freshest cake for your wedding. Typically, while you are at your dress rehearsal, they haven't even started your cake yet. This isn't reason to fret, but to relax, knowing that we will take care of everything and have perfect timing with our delivery. Fleckenstein's Bakery engineers and assembles those layers from the bottom up to create a cake that is structurally sound and stands the test of time. Your cake is then decorated with the utmost precision and patience.

After a bit of a rocky start, we managed to have a better experience second time around. Originally, my fiance and I made an appointment for a consultation and when we arrived, we...
were greeted warmly by all the employees there. Unfortunately, we waited about 45 minutes to have our consultation, but never had it and decided to leave. A few days later, Mr. Fleckenstein called to reschedule and explain why we were not met with that day. The second consultation proved to be very helpful and he took his time to go over all the pricing options as well as listen to what we were hoping to do.
Fleckenstein's really helped bring my cake vision to life. We were able to work with them to tell them what we pictured and the day of our wedding it was there waiting when we ent...

I was very unsure of how the cupcakes were going to turn out for the wedding. I went into Fleckenstein's twice. Once with my husband and once with my mom. Both times I talked to a ...
gentleman that I believe is the owner. He was not a fan of us doing cupcakes instead of a wedding cake but he went along with it. He didn't really offer a lot of suggestions along the way and when I went with my mom to finalize the order he laughed at my mom when she asked what different types of flowers could be put on the cupcakes as a decoration. I didn't realize that was funny. Also, he gave me a book to pick out the cake design for a small cake for the top and my first 3 picks he told me could not be done (well then why are they in the book?). In the end though the cupcakes turned out very well and looked really nice and we got a lot of compliments on them. I just wish it was a little easier to deal with them when ordering.
We loved our wedding cake it was everything we hoped it was going to be. Mr. & Mrs. Fleckenstein were so wonderful to us.
I knew from the beginning that I was going to get my cake from Fleckenstein's. I grew up down the street and would visit all the time as a kid. After buying a chocolate long john I...
would galk at all the amazing looking wedding cakes and daydream about having one of my own.
I liked that Mrs. Fleckenstein gave us a sample cake on our first visit (didn't need an appointment or anything) so we got to try each flavor. We went with yellow cake with a strawberry filling. I visited once more to pay show her the wedding color and give her the cake topper and that was it. The cake was beautiful, the color decor was right on, and everyone really liked the strawberries!
I did stop in a couple other bakeries just to price compare, and fleckensteins was in line with the other bakery prices, maybe even a little cheaper.
First of all, the cake tasted amazing! Not only did it make the perfect midnight snack after a night of dancing for myself and my wedding party, but I received tons of compliments ...

It was exactly what I envisioned, delivered on time, fresh and seriously ... DELICIOUS!

The cake was absolutely delicious. We had red velvet with cream cheese filling, chocolate with buttercream filling, and white with buttercream filling.

his is not standard at every cake shop. But her price beat everyone else's, and I knew her baked goods were known for their deliciousness. So I found a picture that I thought was perfect from the internet and brought it to her. Not only did she reproduce it, but it tasted absolutely amazing. She also designed an incredible grooms cake from my husband that incorporated a submarine diver's helmet.

ct, and so did the bow on the top! I did not want to cut the cake, it was so gorgeous!! People are still telling me that my wedding cake was the prettiest they'd ever seen. Not to mention, it was absolutely delicious!! In fact, my guests call me up and ask where I got my cake from, as they are now ordering Fleckenstein's for their parties.
We were very satisfied with Fleckenstein's. It's a family owned and ran business. We priced a few other bakeries in the area and they were all WAY more expensive than Fleckenstein'...
s way. Our cake was super yummy and looked beautiful.
I went in three months before my wedding. They worked with me to find a cake that would fit my style and budget. They suggested a smaller two-tiered cake along with a sheet cake ...
