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 do not like traditional cakes for any celebration so we knew we wanted to do an ice cream cake for our wedding day. We have ordered Bartleby's ice cream cakes for numerous birthdays and other events and they are absolutely delicious. In addition to being delicious, I was able to work with Rachel to make this Celiac safe and free of any gluten cross contamination with a simple phone call. She made sure to make my gluten free wedding cake the first cake the day, to ensure all of the ice cream equipment was clean. She also works with another gluten free cookie company to add them to the ice cream cake as well. I can’t recommend Bartleby’s ice cream cake enough. Everyone will rave about your dessert and actually devour it!

  • Starts at $4 per serving
  • Serves Des Plaines, IL

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!

Molly's Cupcakes

  • Starts at $3
  • Serves Des Plaines, IL

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. She had her special recipe for chocolate and vanilla cupcakes. In honor of Molly and as a way to help our kids and community, a portion of our profits is donated directly to schools in our community. Every time you eat a cupcake or sip a latte, you help our kids. So eat up!

Molly's Cupcakes was a delight to work with for our wedding! Their communication style was very responsive and organized throughout the planning process, which we greatly appreciated during the hectic wedding preparations. The cupcakes they created for our big day were simply delicious and a true crowd favorite amongst our guests - we heard raving reviews from multiple people about how tasty they were! We had three flavors (red velvet, chocolate, and peach cobbler) and they all turned out incredibly moist and flavorful. Molly's also handled the delivery and set-up with total ease. Overall, we were thrilled that we chose Molly's to provide the cupcakes for our wedding - their team was a dream to work with and their products brought so much joy to our guests. We would enthusiastically recommend them to any engaged couple looking for a talented, responsive baker to contribute something sweet to their special day!

Sweet Buckets

  • Starts at $300
  • Serves Des Plaines, IL for additional fees

We began as a concession company providing cotton candy at sporting events. In the fall of 2021, we extended our brand by starting our own manufacturing plant. Sweet Buckets was born as an option for customers and businesses to purchase Cotton Candy and Gourmet popcorns direct from our company.

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

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.

Coco & Eve Custom Cakes

  • Starts at $400
  • Serves Des Plaines, IL

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. If you are looking for something custom-designed, as well as beautiful and delicious, we’d love to help you! Every cake we make is passionately baked from scratch. 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!
