Sugargoat

“My husband and I loved working with sugargoat for our wedding. As someone who doesn’t love cake but wanted the traditional experience of a cake cutting - I reached out to sugargoat to coordinate a tasting as I was intrigued by their adventurous flavors. We were able to set up a tasting quickly - the tasting consisted of their traditional flavors and a custom flavor that my husband and I came up with on our own - Peanut Butter, Jelly, Potato Chip. The bakery turned our flavor into the most delicious cupcake, so of course we included it as one of the layers in our wedding cake. I emailed inspiration photos of how I wanted our cake to look, and the team at sugargoat exceeded our expectations. Everyone was kind, and we loved communicating with Brennan. The team at sugargoat seemed genuinely excited about our wedding and our cake, it was nice to feel a personal connection with them vs. feeling like a number to them. Sadly on our wedding day, we did not have a piece of cake saved for her to eat, so I reached out to Brennan and they were able to make us a small cake of our custom flavor which we could eat on our Anniversary. 10/10”

Bartleby's Homemade Ice Cream

“Some people first thought I was nuts when I said I wanted ice cream cake at my wedding. But man, am I glad I did and went with Bartleby's! Why go the traditional route when you can have ice cream instead? Rachel and team were so easy to work with. I went pretty crazy on the flavors because there were so many good options. The guests absolutely loved it and said the cake was genius! Rachel also gives great tips so we didn't have any problems with it melting before it was given to our guests, and there are plenty of options for guests with dietary restrictions. If I could do it all over, I would eat more of the ice cream cake - hah!”

“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.

The flavors were fantastic: the red velvet with chocolate mousse was a hit, and the lemon with strawberry was bright and fresh. She also made sure our guests with dietary restrictions had gluten‑free options, which we really appreciated. Working with Mariam was a joy.

“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.”
