Custom Cakes near Palatine, IL

“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 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.“

“Wonderful owners. They’re always so sweet and kind. They make wonderful cakes and pastries. We took a chance on this place for a birthday party and after trying some samples with the owner, our expectations were admittedly high because the samples were so good. They exceeded our expectations. The cake looked so cute and amazing and tasted even better. Will definitely be coming back here for all birthdays and special occasions!“

“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“

“If I can give this bakery 10 stars I would. We ordered two birthday cakes/pastries here for my daughter's birthday. My sister in law loves ordering here for her party and that was when I tried their cakes and oh my goodness, It was one of the best cake I have ever had. Its a little pricey but Its so worth it. My whole family enjoyed it when I served the cake for my daughter's birthday. I will definitely be back. Highly recommend this bakery for quality and taste.“

“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.“
