Lovin Oven Cakery 

5.0

  • Serves Harvard, IL

Since 1930, our family has been baking quality products for dessert lovers like you. Our story begins with my father-in-law, John Slove, being hired to work as an apprentice in a Chicago bakery. While there he learned everything there is to know about baking. Then, in 1946, he and my mother-in-law, Grace, opened their own bakery on Diversey Avenue in Chicago – Slove Bakery. Their goal was to produce great quality desserts and provide excellent customer service: he did the baking; she the handshaking. Through hard work and determination, they grew the business and the bakery’s reputation as one of the finest in the Chicagoland area.

Lovin Oven Cakery was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding. From the beginning, they were incredibly responsive and organized in their communication, making selecting and customizing our cake a breeze. The final product was a true work of art—a stunning four-tiered, multi-flavored masterpiece that was easy on the eyes and yummy for our tummies! Their creativity and attention to detail truly shone through, and we received so many compliments from our guests on how amazing the cake tasted. All of this coupled with a complimentary recreation of the top tier of your wedding cake on your first anniversary makes Lovin Oven THE BEST.

Bartleby's Homemade Ice Cream 

5.0

  • Starts at $64
  • Serves Harvard, 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!

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!

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!

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!

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!
