My son asked for a very specific cake 4 days before his birthday- a red velvet cake with Kansas City Chiefs logo- well Candy and Cake for the win! The cake was so good (and I am not a cake person) very moist- looked amazing!!! read more

Wow if you want to reset your low bar on bad middle eastern food try their chicken shawarma. Greasy fries and a fried burrito style wrap with a hint of chicken and wisp of middle eastern flavor. 5 Gross Stars I also ordered a cupcake to try - icing was like easting raw powdered sugar Most of the order went in the trash read more

I got the lamb shawarma wrap with fries and a slice of French silk pie after. It was so delicious! The fries were perfectly seasoned and a great texture! They're my favorite in the area. They had other incredible looking desserts I'm going to try next time like turtle pie. The chef and manager were so kind and friendly. read more

Upon meeting at location to speak about wedding day cake was nice the two samples were very good. I showed the owner the cake I wanted and colors. Upon opening at venue cake was much smaller than anticipated. The color of the border was orange and not what I had agreed Upon. The flowers I provided for cake did not match border at all. Be cautious of colors you want for your special event read more

We paid $400 for x2 highland cow smash cakes and x100 highland cow cupcakes. I go to pick my order up and immediately I knew they did not do the fondant work on the cupcakes. They only used frosting. This made the highland cow faces on the cupcakes look like mushed & melted blobs. I was furious. Disappointed and angry, I took the cupcakes to my daughter's birthday and these cupcakes were all frosting and barely any cake. The cake section of the cupcakes was also very dry. Truth, my heart was absolutely shattered. I was looking forward to our order for so long! To go to pick it up and be crushed and disappointed for my daughter, I was steaming. Did I say we paid $400 for this order? I'll say it again. $400 dollars for x100 awful cupcakes, again, probably over frosted to cover up the dryness of the cupcakes; cupcakes. I uploaded photos of their lazy work. I texted the boss and the only thing she said was that they didn't do the fondant work. They used frosting which is why the highland cow faces looked smooshed and melted together. She tells me the fondant work would have been only $40. Excuse me? Only $40 for fondant work on x100 highland cow cupcakes? So, we only got a $40 dollar refund off of our $400 bill. My 1 year old could have done better work. Also, this order was done questionably fast. Come to find out, they had been sitting in a freezer for approximately 2 months before our daughter's birthday. Please, everyone, save yourselves from a very upsetting and disappointing event and go somewhere else. Again, for the people in the back, "GO SOMEWHERE ELSE" Also, I would not have taken time out of my busy day to talk about this if it wasn't true. Honestly, they probably know who is writing this review due to the specificities, but it's okay. read more

Ordered pies for thanksgiving out of 3 only the apple tasted ok. The French silk and pumpkin was not good read more

It I could give it a zero, I would! I should have left when I walked in and the place smelled like sewage. I also make it a habit to read reviews but didn't this time around, wish I did. I would have left immediately. We wanted a quick snack. Ordered fried pickles for 9.99 and an order of falafel for 6.00. The fried pickles literally had 5 thin slices deep fried. Appalling! For 9.99!! The falafel was mediocre and there were only 5 little falafel. I said something to workers and they were standing there like deer in headlights. This place is ripping people off! Maybe ice cream and cake are good...but I'll never know because I won't be going back. read more

Service was excellent and they were very accommodating. We had a 1/4 sheet cake for a birthday cake. Vanilla cake. 1) Taste & texture - the frosting was delicious but the cake was crumbly, dry and way too dense. It had a very coarse texture, not fine, soft & moist as it should be. The taste was average at best. 2) The look was beautiful.. the frosting and decorations were simple but wonderful and appropriate for the birthday. 3) The price was absurdly high. Over $80. for a quarter sheet cake that was dry & crumbly. The same size cake from a very nearby 2 grocery stores would have been $20-25 at one and $30-40 at the other.. less than half the price for a better product. Even the guests at the birthday party commented on the texture of the cake and someone said they had the same experience at the same price. It's hard to write a negative review about an experience where the customer service was so good, but it's necessary to warn potential customers of the problems so they don't suffer the embarrassment at an event where the quality of the cake is poor.. and at a very high price. read more

The car wash connected to the candy and cake. First of all, I went to the car wash and paid 13 dollars. I waited for the car wash to start and it never started. It is a scam never go there. They gave me a phone number to text. I asked for a refund, Dan would not give me money 13 dollars back. I would never go back. I had to wait 2 weeks to go back to the carwash. Dan or the manager, kept yelling at me. All the car wash did was put soap on it. I left because I do not deserve that disrespect. I am not going to be yelled at a customer. I will be contacting corporate. How dare there treat their customers this poorly. Do not go to the candy and cake place either. The dessert is awful. I am going to tell everyone I know to never go here. What a scam. read more

Their food is average. And their prices exorbitant. Got a Caramel Pecan silk pie SLICE (Not the whole pie; just one slice) and they charged me $18+ tax for it (this was last month). I've had $2 slices that tasted significantly better. I let it slide then since I assumed that was how they were (outrageous prices and sub-par quality). After reading all their Yelp reviews, I decided to share my $0.02 too. Won't be going back ever. read more

My family and I had a custom made Oreo Pie tonight from CANDY & CAKE in Bourbonnais. Also picked up some cake pops for the grandkids. I would highly recommend them for not only their cakes and desserts but also for their food. All of their cakes are made onsite and their own receipes. Huge variety of ice cream flavors. There is something for everyone. Really nice people, clean, friendly service and good food. Highly recommended. read more

Candy & Cake - a chocolate cake with whipped cream and cherries - Patisserie/Cake Shop Near Me - Bourbonnais, Illinois

I DO NOT recommend CANDY & CAKE in Bourbonnias... I ordered a cake on Monday 6/10/24 , I paid 90.08 for a 1/4 sheet of chocolate cake with chocolate mousse filling and chocolate buttercream icing. I wanted it for today, Saturday 6/15/24. That gave them 4 days to bake and decorate the cake. (They must've felt that was acceptable amount of time as they agreed to do the order and charged me. ) I gave them free reign with decorating. Told them to go with a summer theme. As the cake was for father's day, a pool party and my birthday. The decorations were very juvenile and honestly looked like they spend 5 minutes to slap it together. The cake is dry. The filling tastes like a cream filling not chocolate mousse. It tastes like a frozen cake that was iced at the last minute. My adult children were shocked at how bad it tasted. And they laughed at the decorations. NEVER AGAIN!! My regular baker was booked. Next time ill put in an early order with her UPDATE. As of 6/18/24 I have reached out to management with 2 phone messages and 3 messages on their business page. They haven't responded!! read more

Using the GrubHub app, I ordered lunch today for the first time at Mr. Beast / Candy & Cake at 596 William Latham Drive in Bourbonnais, IL 60914. I ordered 2 burgers and an order of the Signature Crinkle Fries (seasoned). My burger, the Beast Style was just average. Halfway through eating the burger, I bit into a long black hair and gagged and almost vomited up my lunch. The Signature fries were supposed to be seasoned, but were plain with absolutely no flavor - not even salt. Their website says they will be seasoned with spicy red pepper, garlic, paprika, sugar and a hint of lime. This was not true they were as plain as plain could be. My wife's burger was the Chandler Style and it was just average at best. I will probably never eat at this location again in the future! read more

The very best bakery by really far in the entire area. Food is extremely delicious and well prepared. Reasonable prices. The ownership & management are from heaven. The pies are especially superb, although everything is truly excellent. Place is SUPER CLEAN and very fun just to be in. Would give 10 stars if possible! read more

This is the worst experience I have ever had. I had someone lined up to bake a cake for my daughters wedding. She let me know 3 months before the wedding she could not bake it. I looked online and Christine called me from this location. I explained to her what we were looking for. This was a very simple cake. Three tiers, white with navy blue ribbon border and two or three small lillies. I sent her a picture and told her that my daughter wanted buttercream and not fondant. She assured me they could do the cake. My daughter and her grandparents met with christine to taste the different fillings offered. I am in North Carolina and the wedding was to be in Kankakee. My daughter did taste the fillings and said they were wonderful. She picked what she wanted and Christine advised the cake would not be smooth like the picture, using buttercream there would need to be a texture. This is normal with buttercream so my daughter agreed. We also explained we would be putting a topper on the cake. At no time did she ask about the topper. Not the size,kind weight...nothing...she quoted me 475.00 and said it included delivery and set up. I paid her the total amount two months early. I arrived in Illinois a week before the wedding and stopped in to the store to check and make sure everything was good for the following Saturday. I was advised that Christine would call me. She did call me back in a timely manner and expressed that everything was on schedule and the cake would be delivered by 330 pm Saturday. Wedding day. The ceremony started at three in another room at the same venue. When we came out i was a little wrapped up in some other things and did not get over to the cake until around 530pm. I was completely mortified on what i walked up on! This cake was a total complete mess from top to bottom. Each layer was a different height... the cake was put on a round base and covered in aluminum foil like grandma used to make for her "fancy" cakes, the bottom tier was flat and the "texture" she was talking about was actually just slopped on like an everyday homemade birthday cake. I think the cake was still warm when they frosted it as it had spots where,what was clearly canned frosting and not buttercream, had melted into the cake...there was no crumb coating put on this cake. The boarder which should should have been ribbon, was some kind of paper that was ripped and not cut and the clear seams where the came together were in different places on each layer...the second cake was taller but not centered on the first cake and there was no attempt to attach the tiers to each other. The top tier was split in half and base for the acrylic topper still stuck in it. The acrylic ingraved topper still full of frosting and laying on the linen table cloth behind the cake! Later, I found out that the baker who was supposed to bake the cake backed out, the beautiful flowers were made by someone else, the cake was a frozen cake and she never did dispute the frosting being canned...she refused to refund me a single dime...her offer to make this right was to bake another cake for free??? She said the problem with the cake was the topper...she did not stay and wait for me to come out to speak to me, she never told me she had to get another baker, she made no attempt to fix the mess and blamed me for the cake being a mess... all of the pictures on her page were taken from other websites..i say, take your chances and pay a little more with a home baker showing their own work. It may cost a little more, but its worth it...go to walmart before you pay this lady a dime! read more

Kids were excited to see what candy they offered, absolutely none. Don't go here and waste your money unless you like frozen pie and over priced cake pop. No candy. They also have fried chicken menu. What a poor combination. read more

The idea for the place is good, the location and building are great! However the lack of items to make anything on the menu is crazy. Service was below par. Prices are ridiculous, I paid less for a shake in downtown New York. The cup cakes are below par, you think a cake shop and think good looking cup cakes these looked like the ones my kids frost. Save you money read more

Amazing food. I had there Chicken Alfredo and it was perfect. There milkshakes are delicious and they have amazing products.
