Kelsey's Kakes

The cake & cupcakes were so tasty! Kelsey made it a breeze. The cake tasting was my husband's favorite part of the wedding planning process. Kelsey set everything up at the venue exactly how I imagined! She was great!!

Our experience with Kelsey’s Kakes was phenomenal! The wedding cake Linda crafted for us was not only visually stunning, but also a delectable delight that guests loved her flavors. We had an alternative wedding so had some different design requests, such as a black cake, and Linda did a fantastic job consulting with us to see what she could do to make our vision become a reality. She executed flawlessly and demonstrated a keen understanding of our vision. The attention to detail in both the aesthetics and flavors showcased her incredible skill and passion for her craft. We are immensely grateful to Kelsey’s Kakes for adding a stunning and delicious memorable touch to our day, and we highly recommend her services for couples seeking an exceptional wedding cake

Linda did an absolutely amazing job providing our wedding cake and desserts for our wedding this past October! She made the whole process very easy and my guests raved about all the yummy “homemade” sweets she provided! I would highly recommend!

We hired Kelsey’s cakes for our wedding. We could not be happier with not only how great the cake looked but how great it tasted! The snickerdoodle cake with cookie butter filling is to die for!!!! Linda was so kind and was available for us with any questions we had! We would recommend Kelsey’s cakes to anyone and everyone for any event! She definitely helped make our wedding night perfect!

I had my wedding at Starved Rock on July 29th, and the dessert table was a HIT. Working with Linda was a breeze! She and Starved Rock have a contract and she does their cakes. But I was looking for more of a variety of a table. She made my idea come to life! Not only was the dessert table GORGEOUS, it tasted even better! By the end of the night, the sweets were practically gone. I can't wait to thaw out our cake in a year and get to enjoy it again!

Linda has the best cakes. At our tasting we didn’t want to stop tasting. She has all kinds of desserts and cake size and tier options for what you need. We decided to just do cake, but her sweets are just as delicious (we are more cake people). Her package that includes a separate tier already frozen for your anniversary is the best because we could tell the venue to cut up all the cake and not worry about leaving any to be frozen. We had 210 people and bought enough for 215, and we ran out of cake. Literally ran out. People were going back looking for more. Our favorite was the almond sour cream with raspberry jam filling, drool worthy. We still haven’t stopped receiving compliments. Our out of town guests (we had over half from out of state) keep saying next time they come back we’ll have to eat where we ordered the cake from. Had to break their heart and say we don’t think Linda would appreciate us showing up for dinner and dessert to her house but we can order a cake when you’re in town. Highly recommend her! (Picture doesn’t do beauty of the cake justice as my mom took it with her cell phone really quick, but just as beautiful as it tasted).

Kelsey's Kakes is a must have for your wedding! We got so many compliments on our cake and it was decorated beautifully as well. The dessert table was also so delicious. The carrot cake balls will be gone before you know it! Linda was great to work with and it's also very much appreciated that she will pickup her cake and sweet stands at Starved Rock so you don't have to worry about it! Thank you from The Lukers!

Linda was absolutely incredible to work with! She went above and beyond to make our Starved Rock wedding amazing. The cupcakes were perfect and guests couldn't stop raving about them! Some were even caught sneaking out extra cupcakes in coffee cups. Her cake stands were beautiful and definitely offered an elegant presentation of the cupcakes and we loved how she was able to incorporate a figurine of our dog with the cake. Definitely pick Kelsey's Kakes for your wedding needs!

Linda Kelsey did a fabulous job with our wedding cake and sweets table! The set up was great! Our guests loved the desserts! Thank you so much!

The best cake I have ever had! She did an amazing job capturing what we wanted with the cake and she was an absolute joy to work with!

Linda is so easy to work, helpful and organized! She even includes all the cake stands/decor at the sweets table, so this took that off our plates, and the decor was so beautiful and went perfectly with our vision! I first tried Linda's cakes at a wedding expo at Starved Rock, and knew right after trying I did not have to look any further. The cake is absolutely delicious, and so moist and flavorful. On our wedding day, Starved Rock brought me and my now husband three slices of cake (we got 3 different flavors so they brought one of each), being the bride and groom we were very busy and didn't get to eat the cake until the very end of the night, and it was STILL so delicious and moist even after sitting at the table for hours. All of the additional sweets we ordered were also delicious and our guests loved them. We've gotten so many compliments on the cake and sweets even weeks after the wedding. I can't wait until our first anniversary just to have some of Linda's cake again!

Linda was very helpful and easy to work with! We went with a sweets table at our wedding along with a small cutting cake and everything turned out perfect. Our guests LOVED all of the sweets we had for them. I would highly recommend Kelsey’s Kakes for all of your dessert needs at your event.

Linda was so helpful & easy to work with! She was patient and helpful from our tasting through our wedding and made sure all our questions were answered and needs were met. Our guests are still talking about how good the desserts were and we were so happy to take home cake for ourselves! I would recommend her for anyone looking for desserts for their wedding.

BEST WEDDING CAKE EVER! All the guests raved about how delicious the cake was! REAL wedding cake if you know what I mean! Not to mention it was gorgeous and exactly what my daughter wanted. I ordered extra cake because we wanted leftovers - but barely had leftovers because it is THAT good everybody ate it and many had more than one piece! Excellent variety of flavor choices. Cannot recommend enough! Reasonably priced as well! I wish I could post a picture!

Our wedding cake was hands down the best cake we have ever had (and we eat more than our share of cake)! When we went around to each table to talk to our guests, EVERYONE said the cake was delicious and the best they’ve had. Several even said they wished they’d had it for their weddings. We went with the marble cookies and cream two layer with a birch tree design that turned out beautifully. It’s so hard to resist going into the freezer to sample a piece of the anniversary layer! The prices are very reasonable as well and the cake was delivered to our event for us. So happy we ran into Kelsey’s Kakes at the Starved Rock Lodge Wedding Show and booked our cake with them!

Linda was wonderful. Our cake was exactly what we wanted, and was so delicious!! We got so many complements from guests on the cake! She's very easy to work with. Highly recommended!

We had her do a cake foe my sons wedding. His wedding was on October 2nd and people are still telling me how good it was, she also did a fantastic job giving the bride and groom exactly what they wanted. Very nice lady. I would highly recommend her!

The absolute best wedding cake I have ever had! When I first got engaged Kelsey's Kakes was one of my first booked vendors. Everyone raved about how amazing the cake was! Im fighting the urge to pull my anniversary cake out of the freezer now and ordering a new one at our one year anniversary. She also traveled about an hour to my venue to set up the cake which was highly appreciated!

The cake!! The cupcakes!! Yum yum yum. All of our guests loved the cupcakes and cake! It was fantastic!! The look, the taste and the way she set everything up was beyond PERFECT!! I’m going to need to order some cupcakes for a just because occasion!

I cannot recommend Kelsey Lakes enough. I provided Linda with a picture which she matched perfectly. Not only did it look absolutely beautiful but it tasted amazing. My new husband doesn't usually enjoy cake and he loved it! Thank you so very much.

Excellent, delicious and everyone loved it!!!!!! Still talking about it a week later and Linda Kelsey was great to work with! Beautiful cake!😍😍

Linda was awesome from step one, especially dealing with the back and forth of a “covid” wedding. We made last minutes changes to our cake and Linda just rolled with it! Not to mention it looked and TASTED wonderful. A million thank-yous!!!!

I contacted the owner Linda a month before my wedding day hoping she would be able to make us a cake. She was able to do it she has great flavors and we had a tasting a couple of days after I contacted her. She made us a beautiful 3 tier cake at an amazing price. The cake had 3 different flavors it was soo moist so delicious and it was sooo beautiful. I absolutely recommend her to everyone im so glad we found her!!

Kelsey Kakes was wonderful! Our baker canceled last minute, and we were able to book them with short notice. We had two guests with tree nut allergies, and she ensured our cake was safe for everyone to eat! It tasted absolutely delicious, and it was beautifully decorated, too.

Kelsey saved the day when our other baker had to cancel on us. She came through with such a beautiful cake and we kept getting compliments on it all night. We can't wait to use her again in the future!

I went from having a large wedding at a venue to a smaller backyard wedding at my dads house due to covid. That changed the location to be 2 hours away from where Linda is located, yet she was still able to work with me through it all and deliver the most delicious cake and cupcakes. Everyone was raving about them!!

AMAZING job beautiful cake amazing treats couldn’t of been better

Linda makes beautiful and delicious cakes! We had so many compliments on the cake. This is a family run business, and Linda was so professional, helpful, and easy to talk to!

Linda wasn't afraid to get creative for our wedding cake. We had a brunch reception and wanted a giant donut to cut. She found the perfect donut pan and stacked 4 donuts high, 7 inches wide. We loved it!

Linda Kelsey is so wonderful to work with! She truly went above and beyond to create a gorgeous cake for our wedding day. Throughout the process she was so easy to contact and answer any questions I had. We chose to do a 3 tier scraped cake. Our cake turned out exactly how we pictured it and not only was it beautiful, but it was delicious! Thank you Linda, we hope we have the chance to work with you again sometime!

Kelsey’s Kakes was fantastic to use for our wedding cake and our cupcakes! Linda worked with us the whole way to help us decide the look and taste of all of our cupcakes. We told Linda the design of what we wanted, and Linda had many pieces for the display for us to borrow - she delivered it all and put the whole thing together at our reception venue. We had so many compliments on how beautiful and tasty our cake and cupcakes were!

The flavors were amazing and she created the exact cake we wanted!

Linda is such an easy person to work with. Her cake was definitely a hit, everyone talked about how moist the cake was. We did 3 separate flavors with 4 tiers. The cake is 2 days old and still taste absolutely amazing.

Amazing peacock themed cake, nothing but compliments by all whom saw it!! I couldn't have asked for a better cake and dedication to detail down to matching colors as perfect as possible!!

Linda has been making cakes for me for many years and our wedding cake certainly did not disappoint! Our cake turned out beautifully and delicious. Linda delivered it to our venue an hour away from Peru the morning of the wedding and coordinated the flower decorations with our florist. We couldn’t be happier with how it turned out! 10/10 would recommend :)

Linda is HANDS DOWN the best in the area! I will never use anyone else for cakes again! She is so fun and amazing at what is does. We had a 2 tier wedding cake, white cake with raspberry filling. Also 3 types of cupcakes; white cake chocolate frosting, chocolate cake with white frosting and chocolate cake and COOKIES AND CREAM FROSTING! They were so good we didn’t take a single one home! We finished off our bottom tier the following week and froze our top tier. We cannot wait to cut into it at our one year. We gave her our vision and she nailed it!! Her prices are just as good as her baking! Do not hesitate to book her today!! You definitely will not be disappointed!!!

Linda was great! She communicated with me to make sure the cake could support the weight of a specially made topper we had carved of us in a classic car, even allowing us to come to her home the day before with it when we got into town. The cake was absolutely beautiful and delicious. My Mom kept saying it was the best buttercream she had ever tasted. Personable Service & Completely Professional!

Our cake was beautiful and exactly what we were hoping for. It was so delicious too! Linda was wonderful to work with and I definitely recommend her!!

Kelsey’s Kakes are delicious! She does a fantastic job not only making delicious cake but making it look beautiful! We had so many compliments on how good the cake tasted. I definitely recommend Kelsey’s Kake’s!!!

Linda bakes the best cakes and worked so well with our other vendors! We have great reviews about the our delicious cake. Our family has used her for other events and will continue to have Linda bake for us in the future!

Linda Kelsey went above and beyond to create a gorgeous cake for my wedding. Not only was it beautiful, but it was delicious! I chose lemon with raspberry filling, and her buttercream frosting was as smooth as fondant. Truly a wonderful treat for a special day.

Linda was amazing and brought my wedding cake vision to life! Cake was delicious per usual! Highly recommend using Kelsey's Kakes for any event.

Amazing wedding cake. My fiancée had a vision and it was perfect for us. It tasted as beautiful as it looked and the chocolate candies as rocks were totally awesome, I ate a lot of those and Billy thought they were real lol. Love this lady and her passion for baking and decorating.

Everyone raved about these cupcakes at our wedding! We were able to get five different flavors, so it was a nice way to add color and options to our cake table. They were amazing, and Linda was great to work with!

Our wedding cake was beautiful! Linda did such a wonderful job. It’s hard to pick a flavor because they’re all delicious! We had white cake with strawberry cream cheese filling and a marble cake with cookies and cream filling. So good!!
