Custom Cakes near Arlington Heights, IL

“This place is such a hidden gem that I don’t want to share it with anyone, but I will because this place is truly so special you need to experience it to see.The Bakester is a beautiful cafe with a lovely European feel inside. I place my order at the front register with the owner or other staff. Her cafe latte is the perfect combination of milk and espresso. I also like her teas! I always order a quiche, if there are any left when I show up. My go-to is the spinach and cheese. The mushroom and Swiss is absolutely delicious and that’s is my favorite! I also get one of her fluffy, buttery croissants.If you dine in, like me, they will bring your order out to you in tea cups and coffee cups with saucers. The food is beautifully plated and service is great.I’ve never had anything bad at The Bakester and don’t ever think I will. I’m looking forward to doing high tea one day when finger sandwiches and works!Parking: Free parking on the street and there’s a lot nearby too“

“Since I'm in the area, I wanted to check this cafe out because I had a sweet tooth today. Their specialty is crepe cakes. I got a sesame and tiramisu slice. The cake's flavor is excellent, and its texture was delicate. Although it's quite expensive, I believe it's worth it.“

“I just wanted to say that the cake was beyond expectations and it was really delicious. Filling was perfect with coconut and pineapple and other layer was butterscotch. The cake got so many compliments from friends and family. Decoration was perfect as I wanted to . Can’t wait to order it more . Thank you again.“

“Nadiya was amazing to work with! Her vision, design, and customer service are impeccable. The cake she designed and created for our son's 1st birthday was stunning, tasted delicious, and was a show stopper at his 1st birthday. Nadiya fulfilled my vision of creating a cake for a hot air balloon theme and went above and beyond. At the last minute, I also asked for an order of 50 macarons to go with our theme and Nadiya delivered, no hesitation, no questions asked. 1000% will work again with Nadiya!!Kid-friendliness: Perfect desserts for kids!“

“Me, my fiancé and our friend came here to check it out on a rainy day and super glad we did! The three workers who helped us were super chill and made it a very comfortable experience. We all got different infused lemonades that were super tasty! We will definitely be back to try their other flavors and pastries. If you have been considering coming in, it’s definitely worth it :)“

“We had the BEST time at Punky Cake yesterday. My daughters and I took the cake decorating class and had so much fun and learned so much from Ashely! Ashley has such an amazing energy and taught us all the steps and techniques needed to make a double layer 8” rainbow cake! The experience was so fun we can’t wait to go back for another class! We were able enjoy eating the cake with our family and we are pretty picky about cakes and we ALL raved about the flavor and how it wasn’t too sweet and heavy. The flavor was a perfect balance of flavors. We were all very impressed!! Thank you Ashley and Punky Cakes you’ll be seeing us again very soon!“

“Beautiful & Delicious Cake! I was nervous ordering a large cake for my mom's 90th birthday party because I just showed them a pic of the party invitation and had to trust that they would make a cake that fit in with the floral theme. This was my first time here, so I had never seen or tasted a cake from this bakery. They did not disappoint! The cake was gorgeous AND delicious. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because calling the bakery to speak with someone was hit or miss. Oftentimes you get a voice message telling you to send an email communication. They may be a little short-staffed and the cakes are not cheap, but for me, it was worth the price. They did a fantastic job and I would definitely recommend this bakery for specialty cakes.“

“Continental Bakery has been a family favorite since forever. My parents bought cakes and sweets for special occasians, now I'm buying cakes and sweets for my kids and new family special occasians. They always suprise me with their wonderful cakes. I let them be creative and they never disappoint. The best!!“

“Cute shop! People working there are very nice and friendly! I got the exhausted parent in a small cup. It was delish to say the least. Only reason im not giving a 5 stars is because I did not see all the flavors listed online there to choose from. Overall a good spot, Will be back.“

“I asked for Super Mario Brothers cake pops since my son doesn’t like cake or cupcakes. I sent pictures of what I was looking for and they turned out AMAZING! The attention to detail was fantastic. It was a hit at the party. Everyone loved them! Also the staff was very kind and easy to work with.“
