We were greeted right away and everyone was super knowledgeable. But honestly, the best part was feeling included. I know it's a first world problem, but most places don't have many options for people with allergies. Here, it didn't feel like a single random gluten or nut free item tucked into a menu full of things we couldn't have. There was real variety, and that meant a lot to us. Thank you for making our Sunday!

I called from California to have the cake delivered to an unsuspecting colleague staying in a hotel in Chicago and he was efficient, helpful and made the entire process seamless. She was shocked and thought it was hilarious. The cake was truly impressive and from what I heard, delicious! The variety they offer is extensive, with playful designs that are also artistic. They were committed to ensuring that I found exactly what I wanted and helped with some creative wording too! It was a last minute surprise and they put a rush on my order and it was delivered timely with no issues! They truly exceeded my expectations. If you're looking for a unique treat that combines great taste with a fun twist, this is the place to go! Highly recommend!

My maid of honor and I went for a cake tasting not too long ago. They are located very close to…read morewhere we live and we knew just where it was. Except when we got there we were confused - the only thing on that block was the old, closed Gladstone Bakery and nothing else that even resembled a business, much less a bakery. Figuring I got the address wrong, I started to head back to the car when a guy comes out of an old, beat-up, unmarked door. He sees us standing there and says "oh, you looking for Baking for the Taking? In here". Well, once inside it was a very clean, modern kitchen, but what the heck? Could we have a sign on the door - any sign - considering this was a rather sketchy looking building exterior? It was like being granted access to some kind of speakeasy...say the password and all that spy shit. Doesnt make sense! The cakes we tried were fantastic, and the girls working there were very nice. Unfortunately they turned out to be a high quote due to a lot of "upcharges"; for everything from changing the height of a tier to adding fruit. Plus the cake decorator had a very heavy hand - meaning, if you are looking for tiny, delicate decorations, dont come here, her style is better suited to big, chunky designs.

The birthday boy was big into cards s The owner of the bakery drove my cakes all the way out to Arlington Heights where my party was. One of the cakes was a lemon (yes, this birthday party had some seniors in attendance) and the other was a magnificent chocolate cake. That party was almost 2 years ago and I still get people asking me for baking for the takings number. If you want your guests to be raving how great the cake was, Baking for the Taking is the way to go!
