The Original Rainbow Cone 

5.0

  • Starts at $1,350
  • Serves Thornton, 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!

  • Starts at $64
  • Serves Thornton, IL
  • 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!

My husband and I used Bartleby's for our wedding, and they were fantastic! W had tried their cakes prior to our wedding and loved them, so we knew we had to lock them in for desserts at our reception. We're both vegan, and were thrilled to find a vendor who made quality vegan desserts with a plethora of tasty options, with countless ways to mix and match flavors. Plus, how fun is ice cream cake?! Our guests loved it (it was entirely gone by the end of the evening!) and they also enjoyed the bonus ice cream sandwiches we also ordered from Bartleby's. The entire ordering process was super easy as well, from tasting all the way up until finalizing delivery.

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.

Every time you eat a cupcake or sip a latte, you help our kids. So eat up!

We worked with Yaritza for arranging our wedding cake details and she was so amazing! The cake was a hit and so were the vegan cupcakes that we had for our vegan friends. Will definitely be thinking about this cake for years to come!!!

Milk Bar 

5.0

  • Starts at $300
  • Serves Thornton, 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
Having Milk Bar provide cakes and desserts for our Wedding was one of the best decisions we made in our planning. We've always been a huge fan of Milk Bar, some may even say obsessed, so it was only natural for us to include their treats on our special day. Juliet was our main point of contact for our order and was so easy and pleasant to work with. She provided such thorough and efficient information that helped us place our order with ease. She was in constant communication with us from order to delivery. We had the order delivered to our home prior to the event and everything was packaged so carefully and kept cool! We only had one issue with our order, we received a regular Birthday cake vs. a Gluten Free cake, but Juliet was quick to respond and help us resolve the issue! All the treats and cakes were a hit during the wedding and EVERY SINGLE piece was enjoyed by our guests!! No one could resist! I would absolutely recommend working with Juliet and Milk Bar for any orders big or small. Thank you for making our wedding day so special. :)

Molly’s Cupcakes

  • Starts at $4
  • Serves Thornton, IL

Molly’s Cupcakes opened in 2007 in the heart of Lincoln Park, Chicago. Within 2 years of being open, we won the Food Network Competition Cupcake Wars! This love of cupcakes started when the founder was just in third grade. Molly was his third grade teacher, and whenever there was a special occasion, she would make her special recipe cupcakes for her students. As John grew older, Molly’s care for her students never left his mind. He decided to open Molly’s Cupcakes in her memory. As our company has grown, so has our love for helping others create lasting memories.

We loved working with Sabrina at Mollys cupcakes in Skokie. She made everything so easy for us and they were so flexible. It made wedding planning so much easier. I would definitely recommend cupcakes over wedding cake since you can get more flavors.

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.
