I recently bought a cake for my daughter's first birthday here and I absolutely loved it! The decoration was cute and it was delicious. I came in a couple of days before I ordered the cake to taste their buttercream and cake by purchasing several different cupcakes. The young lady who attended me also gave me a taste of their icings. She was very helpful and nice. The same young lady attended me when I came in to order the birthday cake and she was just as nice and helpful. The kids at the party, however, did not like the buttercream icing because it wasn't "sugary" but that is what I liked about the icing. All the adults loved the buttercream icing. Cons:1) I wish their chocolate buttercream icing (from the cupcakes I tried) had a stronger taste of chocolate. 2) The cake was expensive....not necessarily the cake but the decoration. It was $30 more on top of the cake price for what I considered to be a simple decoration. I ended up getting a smaller cake. I would still come back because I did love their moist cake and yummy white buttercream icing. read more

Been disappointed a few too many times...they used to be so much better. Selections aren't deep so they run out quick on the weekends, prices are a little steep, and the flavor just isn't really anything much to write home about. This will be our last visit though as they have stopped making a few of our fav's like coffee cakes...I found some really yummy ones about a block away so I wasn't sad for long...Sorry CC, but you lost our family :( read more

I'm giving this bakery 3 star and will update after my wedding on December 15. I went here for a cake tasting last weekend and was totally blown away. Prior to arriving at Creative Cakes we went to two other bakeries (I will not mention names) and they were just ok. Not that impressed but would choose them if I couldn't find anyone better. When I first stepped into this bakery, I knew immediately that they would get my business. I walked in and it looked like a very quaint coffee shop, the decor was beautiful, the cake displays were perfect, the staff was friendly, the constant flow of customers were unbelievable, and I could go on and on. We met with Fran and she started explaining with they could offer and then gave us ideas because I wanted cream cheese frosting because I'm doing a cupcake wedding cake. She explained to me the reason why she would be against cream cheese frosting and I really appreciated this because the other two bakeries never did this, they was just going to make it how I wanted it. Cream cheese is not something that you want sitting out for 4-5 hours (thanks Fran). I showed her a picture of what I wanted and asked if they could replicate and she said no problem. Next cake tasting. The other bakeries brought out huge slices of cake for us to taste which was quite intimidating because you sort of feel obligated to eat the entire slice, even though we didn't. Creative Cakes presentation of the cake tasting was phenomenal. A young lady from the back brought out real plates (other bakery had paper), real silverware (other bakery had plastic), and bite size pieces of cake (red velvet, banana, yellow, and carrot) with just a smidget of frosting on each, and dollops of fillings between each piece of cake so that you could determine which one you would like if any. This cake melted in my mouth, the yellow cake was something beyond this world. The red velvet was awesome, my son doesn't like red velvet cake but he loved this one. The banana actually tasted like banana unlike the other bakeries which we imitation banana probably and was extremely dry; this was so moist. The carrot cake was good as well as I had tasted this 9 years ago at my oldest sister's wedding. Ok, time for price. The price wasn't that bad for 9 dozen cupcakes but a 6 inch top layer. What grabbed my attention was the set up and delivery cost which totaled a little over $200. I was a little taken back but because of the customer service, the presentation, and the ambiance, I had no problem paying this amount and I want to ensure that it is set up correctly. This is my new bakery, even though it's quite far for me. I'm in the West Loop and this place is located in Tinley Park but it was well worth the travel and I can pay my balance off over the phone which I like because I would hate to drive out there just to make a payment. I see why this was voted 2012 Best in the Wedding Knot; it needs more than just this accolade. I will update after my wedding with pictures of the masterpiece that they will create. 04/12/13 Just realized I didn't update. As you can see I rated this 5 stars, my guest loved my cupcakes and so did I. read more

Skip the grilled veggie sandwich, what a disappointment, very stale grain roll, hardly any veggies, over kill on the pesto and greens. Total waste of calories and money! Doesn't deserve a star but have to post one. read more

We decided to go with Creative Cakes for our wedding cake as well as sweets table after ordering from them a couple times in the past and were very happy with the results. Our wedding cake was custom made and their design team did an amazing job making our dream cake a reality! Everyone was amazing to work with and made the cake/sweets process a breeze! Everything was excellent in quality, look, and was very delicious! I loved having a wedding cake that was as beautiful as I could have imagined and didn't taste like nasty fondant! read more

We met with CC for our wedding display cake and we were THRILLED with the service they provided. Cake tasting was F U N, and delicious!! We were able to decide on a delicious combo for our wedding day cake, and then we explained what we were looking for in "looks," and she was able to draw exactly what was in my head on a piece of paper... and then re-create the cake in reality for our wedding day. It was BEAUTIFUL, elegant, romantic and classy. We were so thrilled with the service and quality of the cake and staff here. We will recommend them to anyone in the area looking for a baker. We will go back for years to come, whenever we are in the area. We had a LOT of compliments on the cake, and we couldn't have been happier. Can't wait for our one year anniversary when we get to eat our cake AGAIN!! Thank you, CC, for your beautiful cakes, and wonderful service. You made our wedding day spectacular!! read more

I contacted Creative Cakes to inquire about a Fox birthday cake for my son's first birthday. Emily was very quick to get back to me and offered me her suggestions and recommendations. She quickly answered my questions and we were able to get the Fox cake I was wanting, plus a smash cake, which they offer for free with a first birthday cake, in a matter of a few emails. She even emailed me the next day to ensure my son's name was spelled correctly. I would recommend this cake shop to my friends and family. My nephews first birthday is in a few weeks and I have already recommended Creative Cakes to my sister in law. Very friendly people to work with! I had had a bad experience with a different cake company previously so it was refreshing to find a shop with such helpful employees, quick responses, and accommodating. Thanks again guys! read more

It's a nice clean bakery and the staff is really nice. They sell the basic sweets you find in any bakery. There cakes are the best I have to say. The few cupcakes they have are delicious as well; I highly recommend the slated carmel. Their donuts on the other hand aren't the worst cupcakes cakes you could buy, in that they don't taste processed, however they aren't the best either. The donuts they have have a sort off cake consistency, which I don't like with donuts but that is just my opinion. read more

This is such a cute little bakery in the burbs. I've been here a couple of times. The service is always quick and friendly. Coffee is good and there is a coffee menu if u want more than the basic cup of Joe. Breakfast menu is small but the croissant sandwich is so buttery and the bacon is mixed in with eggs. The desserts r delish and there r so many options. The cakes look beautiful although I have never tasted one. Prices r reasonable too. Oh and they do serve alcohol if u want a beer with ur lunch read more

Their items are decorated beautifully, but I wish their cakes/cupcakes tasted better. I'm not impressed.

Was here for a cake tasting and the banana cake and hazelnut frosting are AMAZING!! Decided to have lunch after our tasting and that was equally as great! I had a tomato, pesto, mozzarella sandwich and I loved it. Everyone there was so kind and it was such a clean, comfortable environment. If I lived closer I'd probably be here a lot. read more

My daughter will only get her birthday cake from here and it has to be banana and chocolate cake with peanut butter filling and chocolate frosting. We have also had other cakes from here and everything is great. read more

I LOVE Creative Cakes! Not only are their cakes works of art, they taste as great as they look! I love their expansion to a cafe. It's a great place to meet friends for lunch-their salads are my favorite! I also like the outdoor patio seating in summer! read more

I ordered my wedding cake from here for my wedding on September 6, 2009. Creative Cakes was recommended to me by my reception hall, Silver Lake Country Club. Creative Cakes did an amazing job at helping us design our wedding cake. I went in with a picture of a cake I liked, but I didn't want an exact replica, I wanted to make it our own original design. I also brought in pictures of my flowers, dress, etc. anything that I thought would help with the design. They also had a ton of pictures of past cakes that we were able to look at. Creative Cakes did an excellent job of taking everything and designing a cake that was ours. It was everything I wanted. The topper on the cake was just beautiful. I received so many compliments on the cake before I was even able to see it on my wedding day! The cake was equally delicious. I picked a chocolate, with chocolate mouse filling, and raspberry. My husband picked the red velvet, which was hands down the favorite of the evening. I guess not everyone is a chocaholic like me! Creative Cakes made a lot of recommendations that were very honest. They didn't push the most expensive items, but instead made suggestions on what they thought we would like after getting to know us a little. They were also right on target with the amount of cake we needed for our event. In addition to our wedding cake, they are going to make us a smaller cake for our 1 year anniversary. It will be one tier and be similar to the cake we had on our wedding day. This is instead of bringing home the top tier and freezing it for your anniversary, which I wasn't too crazy about. So this is perfect if you want to have fresh cake for your 1 year anniversary!! I highly recommend Creative Cakes. The cake is delicious, they are easy to work with, and everything arrived on time! read more

Ordered 2 dozen cupcakes for my daughters 14th birthday and they were a HIT!! I read reviews here on Yelp, needed someplace close & last minute. I really liked the quick online order process complete with details & easy pay options. They were ready when promised, they were eye-appealing and DELICIOUS! read more

This bakery did an awesome job on my son's graduation cake from a photo. It was 2 tiered with a cap on top and a diploma on the side.It was decorated in the college colors and school emblem.The carrot cake and vanilla cake with chocolate mousse filing was delicious. I highly recommend this bakery as the price was very reasonable too. read more

I love this place! I get a variety of treats everytime I go in. The lemon squares are amazing! Don't get me started on the crepes! I could live off them. I always find something new to try. Plus, they were amazing for my daughters first birthday. All anyone could talk about where the cupcakes and adorable smash cake. read more

Use to buy birthday cakes from here and they were always on point! This year bought another one, the screwed up the order and the cake was horrible!!! For the price the charge you'd expect better quality, nope! Going to be Jewel Osco cakes from now on, they get it right and they taste good!!! read more

After reading some of the reviews on Yelp about this place, I decided it was worth a try. Plus, this is the only place I know of in my area that has red velvet cupcakes. So I made a trip, and I ended up liking this place. I ordered a red velvet cupcake, a raspberry lemon cupcake, and a canoli. This was my first time ever trying a red velvet cupcake. I thought it was pretty tasty. It was nice and moist, and the flavor was good as well. I also liked the raspberry lemon cupcake and the canoli. It was really refreshing coming here. I was surprised to actually eat sweets from a place in my area that are good. I've been to the Orland Park Bakery and it as pretty tasteless. I can't wait to taste the s'mores cupcake! read more

We ordered a small wedding cake from here and it was one of the best cakes I've ever eaten! The staff was very helpful during the tasting, ordering and freak out that our cake was not big enough. From the research I had done on wedding cakes, the prices were very reasonable. At our reception, many people did not eat their cake and opted to bring it home. The next morning I received at least five phone calls telling me how delicious the cake was. Its been two weeks since the wedding and people are still telling me how great the cake was!! read more

I had a cake consult with them on July 2012. My mother and I were very pleased. When we arrived they were well prepared and they explained everything to us. I was the best service I've every received and my mother has decided to let them do her 50th anniversary wedding cake read more

This bakery does outstanding work with a smile. The cakes and cupcakes are top notch. You almost hate to cut into some of the cakes as they look like works of art. But when you do, you won't be disappointed. We've used Creative Cakes for everything from a small wedding anniversary party of 125 people to a kids' birthday party. The service is top notch and you get what you pay for. I highly recommend this place to anyone. Joe Kosteck read more

Treat yourself to this gem! From sweets to savory items, they have it all. Their decorators do an outstanding job on custom orders. Check out their Facebook page if you have any doubts. read more

Cute little overpriced place. If you plan to order a full cake out of here for an occasion, please be sure the TRY the combo that you want first. Some of their stuff is fantastic and some of it is dry and not very flavorful. When you get the good stuff, though, it is amazing. The cafe is fun. The cupcakes run about 3.50 for one which is stupid expensive for a cupcake - but they are always visually appealing. And a little better than half the time they are very good tasting. read more

I have been coming to Creative Cakes for many years for birthday cakes and I have always been pleased with the taste as well as the design of their cakes. They always go above and beyond for their customers, but this past week they delivered with the most amazing cake I have ever seen/tasted. I requested a Van Gogh Starry Night atomic cake and it turned out amazing. The design was absolutely gorgeous with amazing detail and the cake was the most amazing atomic cake I have ever had. Thank you so much, Creative Cakes!!!! read more

Creative cakes is a wonderful bakery. Their cakes are delicious, fresh, moist, and beautifully decorated. I order cakes from them for every occasion. From birthdays to anniversaries to special occasions and holidays. I live in Northwest Indiana and I don't mind the travel because they are worth it. They're different mousse flavors are amazing. There assortment of other bakery items are second to none. I am so excited that their cafe is now open. I cannot wait to try it and know I will not be disappointed. I would recommend this bakery to anyone and everyone. I know if you try it you will not be disappointed, if anything you will be VERY glad you did. read more

Best cakes I ever had. I wish this place was around when I got married. Their chocolate ganache frosting is out of this world. I've gotten a few cakes from there before and didn't knew this existed till my neighbor had a graduation cake with this frosting. This frosting easily justifies the price of one outstanding cake. The staff is very helpful. This place was also in the news paper as they made Chicago's mayor Daley's birthday cake. What does that say about this place. The mayor's cake came from the suburbs instead of a bakery in city of Chicago. read more

Their new cafe has a nice patio. The sandwiches are awesome. Went their with my family and everyone enjoyed it. I had the "It's Complicated" sandwich. Great stuff. My nephew had a grilled cheese, top notch. We will be back definitely. read more

As a planner it's always nice to come across vendors you can recommend. Creative Cakes was recommended to my our of state bride by DiNolfos in Homer Glen. From our first visit to the last bite of cake the experience was amazing!!! read more

I had my wedding cupcake tower made by creative cakes. From the moment we walked in to their store, we were treated promptly and with a smile. I had a picture of a cake in mind, but wasn't sure how it would transcend into a cupcake tower. I put a lot of trust into the bakers at Creative Cakes and they made my vision a reality! It could not have turned out better! We had white cake with strawberry mousse filling and chocolate cake with oreo filling. We also had a groom's cake that was chocolate cake with peanut butter mouse filling. I received messages from guests a couple days after the wedding saying they were still thinking about that cake! It was so good and I cannot wait to get our 1st Anniversary cake! read more

This was my first visit to Creative Cakes Café and I was really impressed. The decor is just beautiful, it reminded me of a french café. My husband and I ordered sandwiches for lunch,I ordered the grilled cheese and my husband had the tuna salad with a bowl of clam chowder. The sandwiches were delicious and the was served hot, a pet peeve of my husband is lukewarm soup. I definitely recommend Creative Cakes Café and I will be revisiting in the future. read more

We ordered a graduation cake. 10 inch round cake fed all 25 guests with a couple pieces extra! We chose a fresh strawberry glaze for the inside and a dark chocolate ganache instead of the icing. This is by far one of the cakes I've ever had. The cake feels gourmet and the icing detail on top of the cake was fabulous. I truly loved my experience with ordering and picking it up. I would 100% recommend creative cakes for anyone looking to order any cake. read more

Ordered my friend's birthday cake from here. Chiffon cake with white chocolate mousse.. It was delicious !!! I received a lot of great feedback at the birthday dinner about the cake I ordered. Staff was very polite and helpful also. I will be back for other events read more

If your looking for lunch, stay away, 10 bucks for small portion sandwich and dried up cole slaw. Not good for the price

Great bakery. Very nice inside. Great staff. Also has a deli. Many different options for food and a great cake display. Donut was good but cookies weren't my favorite. Very bland but other than that, the bakery was great. read more

Ordered a few cakes from here for birthday parties and they have been excellent from the flavors to the design. My guests are impressed and have even ordered cakes from Creative Cakes based on my parties for their events. I highly recommend them and will be back for my next event. Good cakes, pies, cupcakes and cookies. read more

Every time someone in my family is having an occasion, we don't even consider going anywhere else. Their buttercream frosting and the mousse fillings are so much of a draw, I think family clambers to take home extra slices! I stopped in today to order a Father's Day cake and left with a pound of their butter spray cookies, 2 pinwheel cookies for friends, petit fours for a lunch tomorrow and a raspberry lemondae cupcake to eat on my ride home! : ) Every person who works at the bakery has been knowledgeable. They are open to designing, customizing and creating the cake that you want. They are so patient and willing to create a great cake. I ordered my nephew's First Birthday cake from there, and in order to help me save money on the farmer themed cake, they let me bring in some toys that he loves to use in the decorations. What a wonderful idea! They also just started a frequent buyer program where you'll earn free stuff with every dollar you spend. Seriously...how can you go wrong? read more

The food here is incredible! Butternut squash soup was outstanding very consistent, delicious, homemade !!! Can't decide if i live the food more or their incredible cakes!!! Go here for lunch often!!! This will be your new fav place!!! read more

First let me start out saying, how incredibly picky I am when it comes to sweets. I absolutely refuse to eat any cake or cupcake from Jewel, Dominicks, Costco, Walmart or any other supermarket bakery because they all taste overly sweet, and I find the texture of the cake is too dry and crumbly. Creative cakes gets it right, the cake is so soft and moist, it's sheer joy to your taste buds. I always opt for whipped cream frosting because I am not a fan of buttercream. This is my go-to bakery for any special occasion, but especially my birthday cakes. The atomic cake is out of this world good, and the cheesecake is awesome. read more

This is a wonderful bakery staffed & run by people who know what is delicious & how to make a sweet food experience happen for you!
