Sweet Mandy B's is one of our favorite bakeries in Chicago. Our cake was delicious and we received several compliments! The ordering and delivery process were flawless as well. Thank you Sweet Mandy B's!

We love Sweet Mandy B’s so it was a no brainer to get our wedding cake through them. We ordered in January 2020 for a September 2020 wedding. They were flexible in letting us change the contract to what we needed. The cake tasting was fun, and ...

My husband and I wanted a local Chicago bakery to do our desserts and Sweet Mandy B’s seemed the perfect fit. Years ago, we’d grab cupcakes from them when I was in undergrad at DePaul so it only seemed fitting to have them do our wedding a deca...
de later. We set up a time to come in for a complimentary tasting and consultation which was a treat in itself. An associate talked us through the packages and what we wanted for our wedding day, had us taste test tons of flavors (we got to take home leftovers!) and helped us design our sweets table which ended up being made up of a myriad of cookies and cupcakes as well as a small cake for us to cut. We were able to choose a cake design we liked off Pinterest and their pastry chefs brought it to life beautifully. Sweet Mandy B’s even let us adjust our order quantity when our RSVP’s started to come in which was really helpful since we had overestimated our guest count and they helped us come up with a reasonable amount of treats for our guests without being pushy. They delivered our desserts seamlessly day of and our sweets table was a huge hit, with guests devouring all (literally ALL!!) of the desserts we had ordered (we ordered 120 cookies and 120 cupcakes for 130 people). If you’re looking for an authentic Chicago bakery with amazing flavor and variety, look no further!

Not only was their cake beautiful and delicious, but it was also one of the more affordable bakeries in the Chicago-area. What really wowed me though was that they realized they overcharged me by $8, emailed me a sincere apology and then issued...

Sweet Mandy B's is one of my favorite Chicago bakeries and they did not disappoint for our wedding! There was a little rocky start as I had been communicating for approximately 4+ months regarding booking my cake order for our May wedding. We...
did a tasting earlier than needed around November and settled on SMB for our tiered wedding cake. I was ready to place my order soon after our tasting. However, we were told to place our order 2-3 mo prior to our wedding and this would be fine. I started communicating again in February regarding our end of May wedding and then within a week or two I was told our date had booked up! Luckily, they were able to squeeze us in, but had they not, I would have been sorely disappointed. There was no need for this added stress as I had made my decisions and was ready to sign up/pay months prior! I wish they had just kept me posted that the date was booking up and I needed to put my deposit in ASAP or allowed me to place my order months prior as I had intended! Anyways, despite the rocky start, everything after that went without a hitch! We did a small 2 tiered cake with gold leaf foil and it was exactly what I wanted! We ordered lemon cake with vanilla buttercream and almond cake with vanilla buttercream (which is not a standard tasting flavor) and they were both amazing. All of the guests were raving! Because of a unrelated snafu, we had a lot of excess cake left, which I took to work. Many people came up to me and told me it was the best cake they have ever had. I tend to agree!! I have used SMB for birthdays and other occasions and am happy that I was able to use them for my wedding. I will continue to be a loyal customer!

left at every seat. I almost didn't want to go sit down after cutting our cake. That first bite was so delicious, and I ended up eating two whole pieces later in the night. We went to a tasting just 3 months before our wedding date. They gave us a giant plate of cupcakes with every amazing flavor combo to try. I LOVED that we could pick 3 different flavors of cake! Every tier was a different flavor with a different filling as well. Ordering what we wanted was so easy. We sent Lauren an email with pictures of what we wanted it to look like, which flavors we chose, and what time they could deliver it to our venue. The price really cannot be beat either! I have a few coworkers getting married this year, and they were being quoted insanely high prices for wedding cakes. Now they are all going to use Sweet Mandy B's :-)

lavors that work well together, and they were able to coordinate frosting colors/sprinkles with the rest of our wedding aesthetic.

Also have to mention that they have delicious vegan cupcakes which was a deal-sealer for us as we are plant-based eaters. No bride or groom in Chicago can go wrong with Sweet Mandy B's!

I will say, the biggest downside, and this is why I had to deduct a star, is that they don't deliver. Instead we had to spend $145 on a private messenger service, which is more than I think delivery directly from bakeries usually costs.

The staff at Sweet Mandy B's was super helpful during this process - after our tasting they helped us decide upon the shape and decoration on our cake - we loved the square tiers that we ended up choosing! They also made a fabulous assortment o...

My husband was in charge of all the details for our wedding cake since he loves sweets, but we were really hoping to pay under $600 for a cake. He found Sweet Mandy B's and we set up a tasting. It was the first place we visited for a cake and t...
he last! The tasting was absolutely amazing. We were given 12 different cupcakes with different flavors and frostings to try. Needless to say, we took most of them home to sample later and give away but it was so much fun! All of the flavors were delicious, the cake was moist and the icing was perfectly flavored. After we talked more with the coordinator at Sweet Mandy B's and we received a price quote for our cake we were sold! Three layers, each layer a different flavor (strawberry, carrot cake, and snickerdoodle) plus a large yellow sheet cake all for under $300! The only problem is, they do not deliver the cake so we had to have family members pick it up between the ceremony and reception and take it over to the reception venue. They said it was easy to carry and transport the cake and luckily, it came over in one piece. I think you really save a lot on cost due to the fact that they do not deliver and they don't do much with the design. We just had a simple design on the cake and asked our florist to add flowers to each layer, but it turned out absolutely beautiful and our guests raved about the flavors! I am so happy we went with Sweet Mandy B's and I will go back again and again for more cupcakes, cakes, cookies, etc!

i'm a big fan of sweet mandy b's. they have the best cupcakes in town. to save money and to have a desert that tasts good i chose my favorite cupcakes. the wedding cakes i looked at all looked amazing, but tasted only ok. so i thought to myself...
"do you want something that looks great, is very expensive and tasts only ok" or "do you want something that looks good, is (compared to a cake) really cheap and thats amazing?".... no brainer. everybody loved the cupcakes!!!

Sweet Mandy B's made us a fantastic cake that our guests actually enjoyed eating! We did a layer of cinnamon cake and got so many compliments on the choice - it was gone in a flash. Ordering was also a lot of fun. We got to sample all of the...
ir cakes and frostings and that was definitely a plus :). To top it all off, the whole cake was reasonably priced. Only one caveat - they don't deliver. We picked ours up and brought it home successfully, but it depends on what time constraints you're dealing with on the day.
