ALL of the cake was gone at the end of the night and people could not stop talking about it. We worked with Brennan and I couldn’t have chosen a better person to help us.

Hello! I'm Amanda, born and raised in Grand Rapids, MI. I am a self-taught baker who started baking 10 years ago by starting with cakes and advanced my way up to other baked goods including but not limited to macarons, beautifully decorated sugar cookies and many more. 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 Evanston, 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!

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!

Having sampled Audrey’s cookies before at other parties, I knew that she’d create something beautiful and delicious for our bridal shower. I was able to fill out a simple online form, and then did a quick phone consult to discuss our themes. Audrey delivered on several amazingly detailed designs, each individually wrapped, almost too pretty to eat! But these are definitely cookies that SHOULD be eaten, as they’re soft and delectable!

Milk Bar 

5.0

  • Starts at $300
  • Serves Evanston, 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
Having Milk Bar provide cakes and desserts for our Wedding was one of the best decisions we made in our planning. We've always been a huge fan of Milk Bar, some may even say obsessed, so it was only natural for us to include their treats on our special day. Juliet was our main point of contact for our order and was so easy and pleasant to work with. She provided such thorough and efficient information that helped us place our order with ease. She was in constant communication with us from order to delivery. We had the order delivered to our home prior to the event and everything was packaged so carefully and kept cool! We only had one issue with our order, we received a regular Birthday cake vs. a Gluten Free cake, but Juliet was quick to respond and help us resolve the issue! All the treats and cakes were a hit during the wedding and EVERY SINGLE piece was enjoyed by our guests!! No one could resist! I would absolutely recommend working with Juliet and Milk Bar for any orders big or small. Thank you for making our wedding day so special. :)

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!

Lucy Bakes 

5.0

  • Starts at $200
  • Serves Evanston, 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!

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!
