Jitterbug Sweets 

5.0

  • Starts at $100
  • Serves Wilmette, IL

Elevate your wedding celebration with Jitterbug Sweet's exquisite, hand-crafted chocolate-dipped confections. We specialize in creating visually stunning treats that taste as divine as they look. We have the option for custom flavors perfectly tailored to your unique love story.

From start to finish it was an incredibly tasty process working with Jitterbug Sweets. My husband and I knew we wanted to do an alternative dessert bar for our guests and reached out to Jitterbug to begin the planning process. We started with a tasting of her many different types of chocolates and candies, deciding on different flavor and texture combos that would be allergy friendly, child friendly, and of course include our own favorites. After an hour of delicious decision making (hardest work lunch ever) we decided upon three different bites, one which Jitterbug Sweets designed especially for our wedding - a truffle featuring tart cherry cookie whipped ganache, dipped in dark. From there we determined quantity and delivery options. While we did an open buffet table, her treats would also make a great packaged gift option for guests. Overall, her treats were a hit with everyone at our reception. I'm glad we had the foresight to put a box aside for ourselves otherwise we would have been out of luck. Thank you Jitterbug for a great product and experience! Couldn't recommend her more.

Our fresh, custom, elegantly decorated ice cream wedding cakes are like no other dessert option in Chicago!

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.

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.

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.

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.

I’m Irina, the owner and creator behind CandyBliss. My love for dessert tables began while planning my son’s big celebration. As I searched for the perfect sweets and displays, I realized I had a true passion for creating beautifully styled dessert tables filled with unique candies and delicious chocolate treats. What started as a special moment for my family quickly turned into a creative journey. I found joy in selecting color-themed candies and designing displays that bring excitement and happiness to every event. Every CandyBliss table is thoughtfully designed, customized with care, and create that “wow” factor!

CandyBliss Dessert Tables did an amazing job with our football party and candy table. From the beginning, their communication was beautiful - they perfectly matched all the candy and treats to our school colors, which made the table look so vibrant and cohesive. Irina, the owner, really went above and beyond to bring our football-themed party to life. She used creative details like footballs and a helmet even had the green turf to represent the football field and make the dessert table feel like an extension of the overall decor. The quality of their work and value was exceptional - everything looked gorgeous and our guests raved about how delicious and fun the candy and desserts were. We were thrilled with CandyBliss and would highly recommend them to any couple looking for an unforgettable party dessert experience.
