Baking is therapeutic for me. Having baked with my grandparents as a child, I've baked all my life and I really truly enjoy seeing smiles when people try my made-from-scratch sweets. My fun bubbly personality has transferred over into my business brand and products.

Such a great addition to our perfect day! The cupcakes we ordered were incredible and all of our guests loved them! Customer service was excellent from trying the cupcakes, Molly brought them personally to our home and trialed new flavors for us. The Oreo was a hit! Delivery was seamless and I as the bride didn’t have to stress at all. Would absolutely recommend for your big event or even just treats to have!

From our first conversation with Ethalle, we knew we had found the right baker for our big day. She stayed in touch with us throughout the planning process and answered every question we had without hesitation. Our wedding cake turned out stunning and tasted incredible. It was exactly what we envisioned. Ethalle's attention to detail and professionalism made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. She really took the pressure off us during an already busy time, and we couldn't have asked for a better partner for this important part of our wedding. We highly recommend her to any couple looking for a reliable baker who truly cares about making their day special.

Working with Let Them Eat Cakes was an absolute pleasure. Ava's communication through text and phone was perfect - she was always prompt in responding and made sure we were on the same page every step of the way. I would give her a 10 out of 10 for the quality of her work and value, and if I could go higher, I would. Ava was always on time and was able to navigate each day without my help.

as stephanie izard's newest concept, sugargoat is your go-to bakery and special occasion sweets shop, and is a place where our team carries out goatland's tradition of showcasing the love of fun flavor combinations. enjoy your fondest food memories turned into tasty dessert experiences and continue to make more memories enjoying sweets with friends and family!

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

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.

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.

Amen for Sweets is a Chicago-based home bakery built from my love of baking and creating desserts that become part of life’s sweetest memories. I’m a professionally trained baker and pastry chef, and I’ve been creating custom cakes and desserts for families and special celebrations for years. For me, a wedding cake is more than just dessert. It becomes part of a memory—cutting the cake, sharing it with the people you love, and celebrating the beginning of a new chapter. I love working with couples to create cakes that feel personal to them, from the flavors inside to the smallest design details.

I’ve ordered from Amen for Sweets several times and have tried the cupcakes, decorated cookies, and homemade bread. Everything has always been fresh, delicious, and beautifully made. You can really tell how much care goes into every order, from the quality of the ingredients to the little details in the presentation. The cupcakes are moist and flavorful, the cookies are almost too pretty to eat, and the bread is amazing! I’ve always been happy with my orders and would definitely recommend Amen for Sweets for both special occasions and everyday treats
