About Bartleby's Homemade Ice Cream

Bartleby's Homemade Ice Cream

Co-owner and Head Cake Decorator

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!

These are not just ice cream cakes, but delicious, one-of-a-kind wedding cakes that will blow your guests’ minds. We create the ice cream from scratch in our Chicago kitchen just days before delivery, using the finest-quality ingredients, for the most vibrant flavors and luscious textures. Our cakes are fully customizable, from an extensive menu of ice cream flavors, baked goods, sauces, and toppings. You can even make an off-menu request to create the cake of your dreams. Vegan and gluten-friendly cakes are available too!

  • The Best Wedding Ice Cream 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!

  • Fantastic desserts!

    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.

  • AMAZING ice cream cakes!

    We had ordered Bartleby’s prior to our wedding for other special occasions locally, but hadn’t shipped their products before. Based on our previous deliveries we were confident that Rachel and team could deliver the quality we’d come to expect for our destination wedding. We’re happy to say they did not disappoint and guests at our wedding still talk about the ice cream cake we served as one of the highlights of the night. Thank you again Rachel and team!
