    Spiderman Birthday Cake

    I can't say enough good things about this bakery! They seriously saved the day. I called super last minute needing a Spider-Man cake, and they somehow made it happen. Not only did it look amazing, but it tasted even better. it was a marble cake with Oreo frosting. Everyone at the party was obsessed and kept asking where it was from. The cake was so light, fluffy, and perfectly sweet, not too much, just right. You could tell it was made with care. Honestly no one could stop eating it. I'm so glad I found this place, they really came through when I needed them most! Definitely will be coming back here and will recommend it to everyone i know! Very very sweet and friendly staff. I'm just so blessed !!

    We had green marzipan with raspberry jam, lemon bar cake and a pecan pie. The pecan pie is a definite winner! Their cookies looked good too, will try next time. Get their pecan pie for sure

    Custom buttercream cake

    My husband and I just celebrated our one year wedding anniversary. It's a running joke that our wedding venue switched our cake with another wedding's that was happening at that same venue. So unfortunately we never got to see our cake that we had designed. So my sweet, thoughtful husband had our cake recreated for our anniversary. He said Ganache was super friendly and helpful about the ordering process and the actual cake was gorgeous and absolutely delicious! It was a banana chocolate cake that was super moist with buttercream that was also amazing. I was so surprised and thrilled. Thank you for making our anniversary extra special!

    What a great addition to the neighborhood. My brother-in-law recommended this bakery and I ordered my parents 40th wedding anniversary cake from them. The cake was beyond our expectations. Jorge(the owner) suggested few changes and it worked in our favor. He customized it with edible gold leafs. I highly recommend them and will definitely order from them next time. Also, they have great pastries and cupcake.

    This is a cute, little bakery on the edge of a small strip mall. When you walk in you hear the ding of the bell on the door and are immediately greeted by the bakers. They take pride in their baked goods and you can taste it throughout everything I have purchased. The bakers are knowledgeable about what is in each item. But how does that translate to taste and texture? Nicely. The doughnuts I got were light and airy. The frosting on one was sweeter than I'd like, but it was still a good doughnut. The muffin I purchased was a little dry. It may have been toward then end of the shelf life. But if you get there first thing, I suspect it would be great. The prices are decent and the flavors were good. The only complaint I have with the doughnuts is the selection. Every time I have gone, they never have glazed raised doughnuts.

    Cake and ambience

    Well from what I learned they just open a year ago and I was craving for some sort of dessert usually I just wanted one cake but then I saw the other desserts and it made me crave for more. So far the pastry dessert are ok. I started eating the eclair first that I took a picture of and it's thick but it the center is not as sweet despite the chocolate. I've tasted sweeter eclairs but this was okay it wasn't terrible but it wasn't the best next to the texture it felt cold like it came from the freezer. Pastry was a bit too thick on the eau Claire and the center cream felt too solid and like it came from the refrigerator cold too long. As for the German Black Forest now that was much better the frosting or icing was just right and tasted traditionally like a German forest cake. . Probably if I come back here I'll stop by for the cupcakes and some other desserts I never heard of. Service was average as they just started. Ambiance is so pretty traditional bakery on Waukegan road I wish they would have served milk instead of coffee only and they're really just the bakery for just ordering your pastries and going since there was just one table that's the three stars. Also no bathroom but I guess their intention is just to sell sweets and not have anybody dining in for just one slice of cake and eau Claire?

Finally try it after reading the rave review posted by fellow Yelper, Joy C. and #2.) To break my husband into the varied Filipino menu (aside from what he's been exposed to eating during family dinners) as we approach our upcoming trip to the Philippines. I gotta say the food is pretty good! My favorites are obviously their renowned eggrolls. We personally enjoyed the beef and pork filled lumpia. Other favorites were the Binondo fried chicken, the Mushroom and Tofu Adobo, Lechon Kawali and the cholesterol inducing Crispy Pata! LoL! Service was courteous, albeit slow, but when the food came out the quality shined. I would love to return to have more eggrolls, try out their sweets (they have a big selection) and come back for the Beef Pares-Miki Noodle. I liked the modern Tagalog/Filipino music selection along with the spacious and comfy seating. They have a good sized parking lot and it's definitely a solid place to enjoy Filipino food.

The marzipan cookie with toasted almonds on top made me stop talking for a moment and consider not sharing. The texture, the almond flavor, and the toasted almond were all unmatched. The test that mattered most came from my friend's mother, who had just landed from Tehran and approached the cake with the same scrutiny she brings to anything meant to resemble the desserts she grew up with. She attempted to find a flaw. She takes a bite of the Bibi Nescafe cake, said it was the same, said it was not, repeated the comparison, and could not believe herself. She finished it confused and could not find a reason not to liked it. For anyone familiar with Persian baking standards, that sequence functions as a reliable endorsement. ChixCakes is impossible to find. Their website does not mention Chicago, almond cookies, walnut cookies, or Persian cakes, and it doesn't show up in a search engine unless you already know their name. It's like you need to know someone to find them. My friend, who knew they existed, still spent twenty minutes trying to locate them online without success.

As we walked in this place had a young boy and you girl working working the counter. Needless to say both were extremely inexperienced. Especially during the Christmas season and if they weren't they sure acted as if they were. I proceeded to order the remaining pies and when I asked if they could simply box 3 of the 10 pies up in a white box, the boy needed to seek "permission". When he came out he offered to charge extra. I replied "no problem, let's get them going". While he was in the middle of boxing them up another woman came in and ordered one of the pies. Rather than explain this to the young girl he stood there almost scared to say anything. We decided to watch this happen rather the interject since it was Christmas week. We honestly expected the staff member or boy to speak up and let the young girl know we had already ordered them. Well, he did not. And he then proceeded to tell us we were 2 pies short after waiting for 20 min with 4 customers within that time. We decided to just refuse the pies and thank him for the hospitality and left. Very disappointing and very disorganized. I absolutely recommend you avoid this bakery at all cost unless you want a single donut. Or until they decide to hire competent adult staff.

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.
