  • Starts at $4
  • Serves Northlake, IL

as stephanie izard's newest concept, sugargoat is your go-to bakery and special occasion sweets shop, and is a place where our team carries out goatland's tradition of showcasing the love of fun flavor combinations. enjoy your fondest food memories turned into tasty dessert experiences and continue to make more memories enjoying sweets with friends and family!

My husband and I loved working with sugargoat for our wedding. As someone who doesn’t love cake but wanted the traditional experience of a cake cutting - I reached out to sugargoat to coordinate a tasting as I was intrigued by their adventurous flavors. We were able to set up a tasting quickly - the tasting consisted of their traditional flavors and a custom flavor that my husband and I came up with on our own - Peanut Butter, Jelly, Potato Chip. The bakery turned our flavor into the most delicious cupcake, so of course we included it as one of the layers in our wedding cake. I emailed inspiration photos of how I wanted our cake to look, and the team at sugargoat exceeded our expectations. Everyone was kind, and we loved communicating with Brennan. The team at sugargoat seemed genuinely excited about our wedding and our cake, it was nice to feel a personal connection with them vs. feeling like a number to them. Sadly on our wedding day, we did not have a piece of cake saved for her to eat, so I reached out to Brennan and they were able to make us a small cake of our custom flavor which we could eat on our Anniversary. 10/10

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!

We had ordered Bartleby’s prior to our wedding for other special occasions locally, but hadn’t shipped their products before.

  • Starts at $300
  • Serves Northlake, IL

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
My husband and I have always loved Milk Bar cakes and they have made appearances throughout our relationship- at birthdays, our engagement, and just for fun. So it was a no-brainer that we wanted to have it as our wedding cake. We got married in Greenville, SC in October 2022 and it was so easy to arrange for them to be shipped down and arrive 2 days before the wedding. They arrived at our home and we dropped them off with our caters who placed the 6" cake on top of a 10" cake for the wedding day! It looked beautiful and our guests raved about how great it tasted. Months later, we still have guests asking where it was from! We also provided plastic to-go boxes for guests to take home the extras at the end of the night. We had 80 guests and purchased four 10" cakes and one 6" cake. Thank you Milk Bar for the easy and delicious process!

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 

5.0

  • Starts at $200
  • Serves Northlake, 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 Northlake, 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.

Elisa’s Cake by the #Pound 

5.0

  • Starts at $300
  • Serves Northlake, IL

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.
