Hello! I'm Amanda, born and raised in Grand Rapids, MI.

I enjoy every step of the baking process and decorating. It warms my heart to feed others my delicious creations and to hear how much they've enjoyed them.

Awarded Best of Zola
We were thrilled with Little Whisk Bakes and would highly recommend Amanda for any special occasion. Throughout the planning process, Amanda was communicative, responsive to questions, and always punctual. When it came to bringing our wedding cake vision to life, she absolutely nailed it. The final product was a true work of art - three beautifully decorated tiers with an amazing flavor profile. Our guests raved about how delicious the cake was - the chocolate and raspberry filling paired perfectly with the vanilla cake. Amanda's attention to detail and creative talent resulted in the tastiest cake I've personally ever enjoyed. Her customer service matches the quality of her baking. We felt she really cared about making our wedding cake special and memorable. Any couple would be lucky to have Amanda and Little Whisk Bakes be a part of their big day!

Bartleby's Homemade Ice Cream 

5.0

  • Starts at $64
  • Serves Des Plaines, IL

Bartleby's Homemade Ice Cream evolved from Bartleby’s Ice Cream Cakes, a company I founded in 2019 that sold handmade, gourmet ice cream cakes through its website. With the opening of our beautiful brick-and-mortar, we’re excited to offer classic hand-dipped cones, sundaes, and shakes, while continuing to make ice cream cakes for all your special occasions (because ice cream cake IS the best cake).

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.

Hello future brides! I'm Audrey O'Shanna, owner and operator of Windy City Cookies. I specialize in custom sugar cookies. From favors to bachelorette parties, showers, and every event in-between. I love taking your vision and bringing it to life in the most delicious way! Fun fact about me, I took 1st place in the pastry division at "The Chicago's Best Baker" competition in 2018!

We had Windy City Cookies make these beautiful cookies for a graduation party. They were the perfect graduation theme cookies , and I asked her to individually wrap them with for me. They were beautiful—everyone loved them! I heard from reliable sources that they tasted delicious, too. Sadly, I did not have any of the cookies for myself. Hopefully next time!

  • Starts at $300
  • Serves Des Plaines, 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
Milk Bar is one of our favorites and we thought it would be great to have a special touch from them for guests at our wedding. We ordered lots of cookies as wedding favors, displaying them as a 'cookie wall' near the exits. The cookies were amazing, guests loved them as a sweet treat to end the night, and the packaging is quintessentially Milk Bar and looked beautiful on display! Working with the Milk Bar team to get everything ordered and delivered at exactly the right time was easy and we're really happy with the result! Would highly recommend Milk Bar!

We had our wedding reception at a brewery and wanted some easy to eat sweet and salty snacks. These popcorn flavors were delicious, they sent us flavors to try before we decided. We chose 4 flavors and they shipped them right to our house. The popcorn buckets had our cute custom labels which they designed for us and looked PERFECT! We had tons of compliments on the popcorn. We ordered plenty and people were grabbing them to take home at the end of the night. A perfect snack after a few beers. Theu were very fast with the samples and the order too!

Lucy Bakes

  • Starts at $200
  • Serves Des Plaines, IL for additional fees

Hi, my name is Lucy! I'm a baker and decorator located in Downtown Milwaukee, and spend most of my time in the kitchen! I also come from a lineage of bakers, and most notably the "Cake Lady of Erie Pennsylvania" - being my great grandma. So, this is kind of in my genes. ​I've been baking professionally for over 7 years, and was hired to make my first wedding cake when I was just 16! I love being able to give clients something memorable for their weddings, events, or as gifts for their loved ones. Consistency and flexibility are the two main ingredients in making my clients come back for seconds!

Awarded Best of Zola
From a wedding cake made with a recipe that has been passed down for generations to cookies that look like your dog for your guests to take home, Lucy is the one. Her work is beautiful, and it not only looks good, but it always tastes amazing. All of our guests still talk about our cake years later. She is so creative and patient. She listened to my 45,000 ideas about cakes and helped me narrow it down until we settled something that I absolutely loved. We received multiple commented from our other vendors (who she hadn't worked with before) on how professional and great she was to work with, and how her cake was one of the best they had ever had!

Molly’s Cupcakes 

4.7

  • Starts at $4
  • Serves Des Plaines, 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.

My (now) husband and I are from Chicago and love Molly’s cupcakes. We got married in Michigan and struggled big time to find a baker in the town to do our cake, so decided we’d go with Molly’s because they’re one of our favorite dessert spots in the city. Everything ended up working out fine, and I would recommend them, but I would recommend asking plenty of questions and confirming everything clearly before booking and pick up as we ran into a few issues along the way. For example, they were unable to do seasonal flavors of cupcakes, but they didn’t tell us this clearly until about a month before our wedding (and well after we had booked). And while our emails stated we planned to pick up the order a day in advance of our event, the order form wasn’t as clear, so the bakers thought it was day of and there was a big misunderstanding at time of pick up… thankfully they were able to put everything together and it all worked out, and everything was delicious and we had loads of compliments - but it was a little extra stress to have to manage than anticipated.

At Coco & Eve, we are a Chicago-based bakery specializing in custom cakes and amazing desserts to celebrate all the special moments in your life… from weddings, birthdays, graduations, showers, and more.

We are May May + Charlene, a baker + a wedding planner, both with over 10+ years of experience in our respective fields. We paired our talents in 2020 to expand May May's burgeoning cake business and bring Coco & Eve to a wider audience.

My fiancé, now husband, worked with Charlene and May May to design our wedding cake this past January. We couldn't be more pleased! Communication was a breeze, and our ideas, along with Coco & Eve's suggestions resulted in an absolutely stunning cake! Charlene suggested some design ideas to compliment our Sophisticated Disney theme while also using a custom monogram we designed. The best part was finally getting to eat the cake! We chose two flavors for our cake; bottom & top tiers (anniversary tier) were a Vanilla cake, layer of Biscoff cookie butter, with Biscoff buttercream and the middle tier was Ube cake, Ube mousse, and Ube buttercream. We would highly recommend Coco & Eve Custom Cakes! Thank you for making our special day that much more special, and tasty!
