Jitterbug Sweets 

5.0

  • Starts at $100
  • Serves Evanston, IL

Elevate your wedding celebration with Jitterbug Sweet's exquisite, hand-crafted chocolate-dipped confections. We specialize in creating visually stunning treats that taste as divine as they look. We have the option for custom flavors perfectly tailored to your unique love story.

From start to finish it was an incredibly tasty process working with Jitterbug Sweets. My husband and I knew we wanted to do an alternative dessert bar for our guests and reached out to Jitterbug to begin the planning process. We started with a tasting of her many different types of chocolates and candies, deciding on different flavor and texture combos that would be allergy friendly, child friendly, and of course include our own favorites. After an hour of delicious decision making (hardest work lunch ever) we decided upon three different bites, one which Jitterbug Sweets designed especially for our wedding - a truffle featuring tart cherry cookie whipped ganache, dipped in dark. From there we determined quantity and delivery options. While we did an open buffet table, her treats would also make a great packaged gift option for guests. Overall, her treats were a hit with everyone at our reception. I'm glad we had the foresight to put a box aside for ourselves otherwise we would have been out of luck. Thank you Jitterbug for a great product and experience! Couldn't recommend her more.

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
  • Offer

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!

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!

  • Starts at $300
  • Serves Evanston, 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.

Milk Bar

  • 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
We had the pleasure of working with Milk Bar to provide cookies for our client's wedding in Aspen. They were a NYC based client who wanted to add a personal touch and incorporate their favorite local dessert, Milk Bar. Milk Bar was beyond wonderful to work with. Their communication from the very start was prompt and informative of the shipping process from NY to CO. The cookies arrived perfectly on time, even with all the winter storms and travel delays and the cookies were a huge hit at the event. We highly recommend Milk Bar for your event or any personal purpose they are beyond delicious and a true treat!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about the incredible baker who created my son and daughter-in-law’s wedding cake and the most stunning sweet table trays. Every detail was absolutely perfect. My son is a huge Star Wars fan, and she brought his vision to life in the most beautiful and creative way—one side of the cake was designed especially for my daughter-in-law, elegant and classic, while the other side was a surprise for my son with the perfect Star Wars touch. It was not only gorgeous but truly a work of art. The sweet table trays were equally amazing—beautifully arranged, delicious, and a huge hit with our guests. You could tell how much love, talent, and care she put into every single piece. She went above and beyond for us, and we are so grateful. If you want someone who is passionate, artistic, professional, and incredibly talented, look no further. She made their wedding truly unforgettable.

Working with Let Them Eat Cakes was an absolute pleasure. Ava's communication through text and phone was perfect - she was always prompt in responding and made sure we were on the same page every step of the way.
