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!

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 was able to fill out a simple online form, and then did a quick phone consult to discuss our themes. Audrey delivered on several amazingly detailed designs, each individually wrapped, almost too pretty to eat! But these are definitely cookies that SHOULD be eaten, as they’re soft and delectable!

  • Starts at $300

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.

We highly recommend Milk Bar for any special occasion. We worked with them on our client’s wedding and they were absolutely amazing. We were a little nervous about ordering cake truffles online; but, the team at Milk Bar made the process so easy. They were responsive to all of our questions and they were willing to go the extra mile to make sure the truffles arrived in perfect condition and in time for the event. The birthday cake truffles were absolutely delicious. They were moist and flavorful — and, the sprinkles were the perfect finishing touch. The guests loved them! We were so impressed with the overall experience. As event planners, we rely on reliable and quality vendors to help make our clients’ dreams come true. Milk Bar was that and so much more. They were professional and efficient and made sure that everything was perfect! We would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for delicious and beautiful desserts for their special event!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about the incredible baker who created my son and daughter-in-law’s wedding cake and the most stunning sweet table trays. Every detail was absolutely perfect. My son is a huge Star Wars fan, and she brought his vision to life in the most beautiful and creative way—one side of the cake was designed especially for my daughter-in-law, elegant and classic, while the other side was a surprise for my son with the perfect Star Wars touch. It was not only gorgeous but truly a work of art. The sweet table trays were equally amazing—beautifully arranged, delicious, and a huge hit with our guests. You could tell how much love, talent, and care she put into every single piece. She went above and beyond for us, and we are so grateful. If you want someone who is passionate, artistic, professional, and incredibly talented, look no further. She made their wedding truly unforgettable.
