The Original Rainbow Cone 

5.0

  • Starts at $1,350
  • Serves Arlington Heights, IL

The Original Rainbow Cone has been a staple in Chicago for over 95 years! We serve our signature combination of Chocolate, Strawberry, Palmer House, Pistachio and Orange Sherbet sliced and stacked on a cone. We also offer other flavors upon request. We offer on-site catering with our trucks for outdoor events, and our pop up ice cream social service for indoor events!

My wife and I have always loved Rainbow Cone. Our first date was at their original Beverly location over 13 years ago, and it felt only fitting to have Rainbow Cone present at our wedding reception. From the beginning, John B. and his team were communicative, professional, and great to work with. On the day of the reception the RBC team showed up when they were supposed to and did an amazing job of providing quick and courteous scoop service to our 150 guests. They even went above and beyond and cleaned their area of the reception hall when our caterer dropped the ball and didn't do it themselves (please don't expect them to do this, but just to show they did an amazing job!) Plus, above all of that, the ice cream was just delicious, and initiated many folks into the Rainbow Cone fan club when they got their first taste. Overall, RBC provided a 10/10 experience that we'll always be thankful for and will never forget. We're fans for life. Thanks Rainbow Cone!

  • Offer

Our fresh, custom, elegantly decorated ice cream wedding cakes are like no other dessert option in Chicago! I have been creating ice cream cakes for decades and have been serving wedding customers in Chicago since 2019, first through Bartleby's Ice Cream Cakes online and since 2024 from the Bartleby's Homemade Ice Cream shop. With my many years of experience providing wedding cakes of all sizes, flavors, and designs and in all kinds of venues and weather, you can be sure that your Bartleby's cake will be beautiful, structurally sound, and delicious!

Our ice cream cakes were incredibly delicious, and we got so many compliments from our guests! From our tasting to the day of the wedding, Bartlebys had great communication and were wonderful to work with. We were a little worried about the cakes melting by the time they got to our guests, but Bartlebys provided really helpful instructions to our venue, and the slices were delivered to each table in perfect condition. We highly recommend them to other couples!

Molly's Cupcakes 

5.0

  • Starts at $3
  • Serves Arlington Heights, IL

Welcome to Molly's Cupcakes! Ms. Molly was my third-grade teacher. Whenever my classmates or I had a birthday, she would bake us cupcakes. She had her special recipe for chocolate and vanilla cupcakes. In honor of Molly and as a way to help our kids and community, a portion of our profits is donated directly to schools in our community. Every time you eat a cupcake or sip a latte, you help our kids. So eat up!

So happy we decided to get our cake from Mollys cupcakes. We had our wedding in Chicago but live in NYC so the fact that Mollys had bakeries in both cities was a huge plus! They provided a free cake tasting of 6 different flavors, was very easy to work with and was priced very well compared to others I looked at. Their cupcakes/ cakes were DELICIOUS! Would highly recommend.

They were beautiful—everyone loved them! I heard from reliable sources that they tasted delicious, too. Sadly, I did not have any of the cookies for myself. Hopefully next time!

Elisa’s Cake by the #Pound 

5.0

  • Starts at $300
  • Serves Arlington Heights, IL

I am a self-taught home baker and proud mother of one. My journey began as a paralegal, but everything changed when I baked and decorated my first cake in 2014 for Ella's 4th birthday. I wanted to create a memorable experience for her party, and little did I know it would ignite a deep passion within me. Soon I found myself baking for friends & family. Before I knew it, I had developed a substantial customer base. Over the years, I have come to realize that baking is a pure and simple expression of love and joy for others. In January 2020, I made the bold decision to follow my passion and pursue my dreams in the world of baking.

Elisa's Cake by the Pound was a fantastic choice for our wedding cake. Their communication throughout the process was prompt and consistent, which put us at ease. The quality of their work was exceptional - the cake was absolutely beautiful and delicious. We only needed a small cake for our wedding, and they were very accommodating, offering the perfect sized cake for a reasonable price. It exceeded our expectations and our guests raved about how great it tasted. We highly recommend Elisa's Cake by the Pound for any couple's wedding dessert needs.

Milk Bar 

5.0

  • Starts at $300
  • Serves Arlington Heights, IL

Milk Bar is a sweet (and occasionally savory) shop that’s been turning familiar treats upside down and on their heads, shaking up the dessert scene since 2008. Bon Appetit magazine called us “one of the most exciting bakeries in the country.” But you can literally just call us Milk Bar. We’re not big on feeding the hype beast. But we’re super into feeding our flavorful treats to those who crave the unexpected.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had the pleasure of working with Milk Bar to provide cookies for our client's wedding in Aspen. They were a NYC based client who wanted to add a personal touch and incorporate their favorite local dessert, Milk Bar. Milk Bar was beyond wonderful to work with. Their communication from the very start was prompt and informative of the shipping process from NY to CO. The cookies arrived perfectly on time, even with all the winter storms and travel delays and the cookies were a huge hit at the event. We highly recommend Milk Bar for your event or any personal purpose they are beyond delicious and a true treat!

I first found out about Delish Cakes at a wedding expo in Rosemont. I do not remember if the samples there were mini cup cakes or something else, but they were DELICIOUS! I reached out to Delish Cakes to do my wedding cake and loved that we we were able to do a tasting (you take a container home to sample different a few flavored cakes, frostings & fillings), although it was not free. Communication usually was not an issue. We were very happy with how our wedding cake turned out & are excited to have more for our 1st anniversary.

  • Serves Arlington Heights, IL
  • Offer

Nadiya’s Cupcakes is a small business wedding cake bakery with an organic cake design style and a European-inspired cake flavor menu. Your wedding details are the most important ingredients in achieving your ultimate wedding cake vision, and you are part of every step to personalize it. Our cakes come tall and our specialty is buttercream; we do not use fondant. We love using fresh fruit and high quality raw ingredients to produce balanced flavors that have just the right amount of sweetness while retaining their natural, key-note taste; you and your family won't feel guilty going for a second slice, we promise.

Nadiya created the most magical Harry Potter inspired wedding cake we could have dreamed of. From our first tasting to the final reveal, the entire experience felt thoughtful, creative and enchanting. She took every idea we shared and turned it into something far more beautiful than we imagined. The cake itself was pure magic. The hand painted Forbidden Forest, the white stag Patronus, the elegant gold detailing, the “Always” inscription and the Golden Snitch on top all came together so perfectly. It truly felt like a piece of the wizarding world brought to life in the most elegant way. On top of being stunning, the cake was completely gluten free for my allergy and still tasted absolutely incredible. Our guests were amazed that something so beautiful could also taste so good. People are still talking about it. Seeing the cake on our wedding day was a moment I will never forget. Nadiya’s talent, care and attention to detail made the entire experience unforgettable. We are so grateful for the magic she created and for giving us a cake that was meaningful, delicious and everything we hoped for. Thank you, Nadiya, for bringing our vision to life so perfectly.
