After going to a couple of my friend's parties and seeing and tasting amazing cakes, I finally asked where she got them and she said Lana's. We have a few birthdays in January & I was getting tired of red velvet (my favorite but enough is enough) and chocolate sheet cake and needed something different for my cake so I chose the passion fruit mousse from the website and my husband ordered it. Their cakes are not only works of art but delicious too. Everyone loved it! Highly recommended. read more

I usually don't write much review but I was too sad today! Couple of my friends recommended this place so...My daughter is turning 1 years old on Sunday and I went there last week to order cake, but the worker girl said I would have to contact(email) the owner Lana and order through her and gave me her name card. So I did the next day and Lana replied me back and we set up an cake and she told me to call to shop the next morning to order and pay the deposit which I tried, the girl puts me on hold to ask the baker, and comes back and tells me the baker said he can't make it by Sunday!!! So I told her I emailed with your owner and she told me to call and place the order!!! She goes, "sorry Lana is in vacation"!?! Seriously???? Very disappointed!!! read more

Oh it is DAZZLING alright ? :D I absolutely love their tiny cakes..Oh so pretty and yummy ! Macaroons are not their best item on the menu but still better than any other place around northwest suburbs !! Wonderful place to spend an evening to get sugar-high read more

Lana's Dazzling Desserts - How cool are they ? :D - Desserts Near Me - Wheeling, Illinois

The desserts were good but the place Isn't safe. The only other customer in the bakery walked in without a mask even though there was a sign on the door that patrons needed a mask. I said something to Lana but she ignored me and refused to ask him to put a mask on. He walked all over the bakery and right next to me. If you don't mind covid go to Lana's!! read more

It says to phone to place an order. I called and the person who answered did not speak English. So I went elsewhere.

Thank u Ms. Lana for a beautiful cake, everyone complimented on how beautiful and tasty the cake was thank u so much. read more

Best cakes around, hands-down!!! I LOVE mousse cakes and Lana's are all incredible... especially the coconut/lychee/passion fruit one!!! Love the macaroons and pastries and mini-cakes and themed cakes and ... coming up with reasons to get something from Lana's :) read more

Amazing place in Wheeling at the corner of Dundee and Milwaukee. Such artistry! You should see the cakes. Amazing.

When you want a little taste of fresh exotic flavors in a pastry you need to come here! This bakery is found on a small strip mall plaza. Once you walk in you see all the beautiful colorful pastries. They have French macaroons which is what attracted me in the first place. This is the first bakery I've seen that utilizes flavors of mango, passion fruit, and lycée. This little shop knows how to pack a punch in every bit!! My favorite is the black current pastry. It is a beautiful concoction of enticing decor and majestic flavors dancing on my tongue. This is the bakery of the year!!! If you love flavor you will love this place! read more

We were limited by the Westin as to where we could get the cake from. This place was the closest so we decided to check it out. Hundreds of magazines and mini cake tastings later we had a design for the cake we wanted along with the filling. Lana was invaluable at helping design the perfect cake for our needs and having tasted the passion fruit filling it was a no brainer for us. The cake was well made and delivered on time (presumably as it was where it was supposed to be!) It was also well received by many of our guests so great job Lana! Thanks. read more

Their mini pastries are great. I like chocolate. But their fruit ones are much better than their chocolate ones. My favorites are the mango, black currant and coconut mini pastries. But the staff is extremely rude. Onetime, I had questions about ordering a birthday cake (design, flavor, cost); both the guy and the gal at the counter asked me to find out from their website. Another time, I asked for some recommendations to try new pastries and the gal at the counter shrugged her shoulders and said "up to you". Pastries are good but service is bad; that is why the 3 stars. read more

Lana's Dazzling Desserts is simply Dazzling! I have been going there for a while now. had my birthday cake done there and my friend loved it so much that I ended up getting her a birthday cake from Lana's too. The staff is wonderful, Lana is great, desserts are too die for, what more can you ask from a bakery. :) read more

Lana's Dazzling Desserts - Perfect start to the New Year 2015!! Thanks everyone at Lana's. Happy holidays!!!! - Desserts Near Me - Wheeling, Illinois

I remember when I treated some guests with their raspberry/pistachio cake, and now I am constantly cajoled into getting one again and again :-) I am afraid to sum up how much money I left at this place, because of these cakes! Wonderful place to stop by for a cup of tea and a small dessert. The owner of the place is very responsible and timely. I regularly see people picking up their birthday cakes at the store and they are always happy with the product and the service. read more

I was in charge of ordering the cake for my very close friends bridal shower and I heard of Lana's and how great they are. When I went in I spoke to Lana and showed her exactly what I wanted. She gave me her opinion on it which I loved and the cake ended up amazing! I wasn't too thrilled about the flavor but I also am a very simple person. Everyone at the bridal shower loved it though read more

Lana's Dazzling Desserts - First time ordering from here and I was amazed at how beautiful the cake turned out! - Desserts Near Me - Wheeling, Illinois

Horrible. My husband thought that he is buying chocolate cake. But it was hazelnut something. That means we got so upset. Because it is not even possible to make slices. It was 50$s 12 people's big one why they did not explain well. Taste was bad too. Waste of money! read more

Just discovered this cute little bakery and I was pleasantly surprised. The bakery is cute with little tables for dining in. I got 4 mini pastries and they were well decorated and taste amazing!! I will definitely be coming back. read more

I walked in hoping to buy macaroons for a birthday present. They had 4 flavors: raspberry (birthday girls fave!), chocolate, coffee, and rose. They are divine!! So fresh and light, and incredibly flavorful. The rose was unique & especially delicious. The girl who helped me was also incredibly friendly and helpful. I am so glad I found a new spot for French macaroons! read more

Their freshly made cookies and morning stuffed pastry is truly amazing. I tried lemon and cheese and just cheese both were wonderful. Great coffee too. The cakes and deserts are a bit on a pricy side but really tasty. Not too sweet and thats what we love. read more

Worst service. Few days ago my son called Lana's bakery and tried to place order. He was told no order is needed, they have plenty by on hand, just come in. Day before pic up he called again to verify, and he received same message. No other is needed. So today I drove 26 miles to found out that they don't have what I want. And for that quantities (48) and verities I should place order. That was a birthday gift for my friend. Lana's bakery, you ruined that. read more

I am hugely disappointed with the Ispahan mousse cake I bought at Lana's this week. It is mainly mousse, I could barely find some cake inside (which was very wet and did not hold together), the flavor was weird and very artificial. I got an impression that all pastries and cakes are cheaply made with minimum of ingredients added for the profit, but look good and are pricey. This cheap and artificial mouse/icing which cake is covered with, is added for the volume. I felt like it was not a cake, but a big fake bubble instead. Like somebody has mentioned before: "poorly balanced ratio of mousse/cream and actual cake mixture" for the top profit. Homemade pastries don't look as good, but definitely taste much better with real cream, butter and eggs instead of Lana's mediocrity for the top dollar. The cake's cost was almost $30.00 with tax. It tastes like Cool Whip. However, there was nothing to eat, just a lot of cheap artificial mousse all over. I am definitely not coming back. read more

Lana's Dazzling Desserts - I had to dig dipper in order to find some actual cake. The crust/filling was extremely mushy. Such concoction should not cost $30. - Desserts Near Me - Wheeling, Illinois

Let me start off with the desserts. They're delicious. I've had multiple cakes and mini-dessert cups and they all seem to have a consistent theme: light, airy, fluffy, and soft. However, they definitely need to work on their customer service. Most restaurants, I don't mind bad customer service as long as the food is good. However, at a place like Lana's, where you need to ask a person for each and every food item that you want, the person behind the counter is key. You shouldn't make me feel like I'm annoying you by asking what certain desserts are. You shouldn't look burdened when I ask you what the most popular desserts are. You should be asking questions like "what kind of dessert are you looking for today?" or even "how can I help you?" A lot of Lana's business seems to come in through pre-orders so maybe they're still working on this aspect. I'll still be by to grab some desserts but hopefully I can get a friendlier person behind the counter. read more

Yay...french macarons! That's the only reason I came. I got all the flavors, and the pistachio was the best. They were pretty damn good, chewy, and crisp shell. Yummy buttery filling. The passionfruit one was damn good, too. read more

Lana's has been my go-to bakery for the last 2 years or so with all their delicious cakes. The quality of their baked goods has always impressed me. I had ordered 50 eclairs for a bridal shower this past weekend, and my gosh, were they scrumptious! Can't wait for an occasion to visit them again! read more

Major disappointment with the service. I've tasted their cakes at various celebrations and was very much impressed. Then I decided to order for two of our own celebrations. The first time upon pick-up, I was informed that the cake wasn't even made. They forgot! Luckily this was one of the cakes available behind the counter, so problem solved. The second time I ordered a cake, I had to wait 20 minutes upon pick-up for Lana to decorate it. Her explanation? She was too busy working on some wedding order and didn't get a chance to decorate my cake. Oh well. She won't be getting my business again. If you like great European cakes (for the same high price), you might as well go to Oakmill Bakery in Arlington Heights. They never "forget." read more

I had a huge craving for French Macaroons yesterday, and I was told they had them at Whole Foods, which to my disappointment they didn't...BUT if they did I would have never found out about Lana's. I work in Northbrook so the drive over wasn't too bad, ample parking and at 1:15 it was not crowded...I got 2 of each Pistachio, Passion Fruit, Chocolate and Hazelnut. The cookie has a light as air shell with perfectly chewy center and melt in your mouth filling. I will definitely go back the next time I'm jonesing...maybe even try some of the other delicious looking desserts! read more

This place is a cute, small business. The girls that were working there were not friendly at all, kinda had a bad attitude. My first time there and none of them were helpful..... Not planning on going back ever! Ps- nothing there was worth the money even. Overpriced and def waste of money. read more

Lana's is a cute little bakery and pastry shop with truly delicious treats. They were one of the options we were given by our caterer when selecting where to get our cake from for our wedding, and after a delicious tasting we had no problem choosing them. All in all they are a good company, but we had a couple mishaps with them. First, we decided to have a color band and flower on our cake. I sent in a swatch from the bridesmaid dresses so they could match it as promised, and it ended up being a pale lavender, unlike the bright eggplant the girls were wearing. Not the end of the world, just not what I was expecting or what we had discussed. The other issue was regarding a few gluten free pastries that we had specifically called in and paid for ahead of time that were never delivered. On the day of, no one knew anything about them, and our few guests who required them weren't able to have dessert. Afterwards, they claimed that they had been packed, but still refunded us the money that we had paid. All in all, they make very tasty treats and I would definitely recommend them when stopping by or for a more casual party, but I would hesitate before booking them for my wedding again. read more

"These kinds of things always look better than they taste." Glorious artistry of fondant. Unpleasant, odd or bland flavors. Everything looked gorgeous. Most of it tasted disappointing. Lots of employees behind the counter standing around, causing long waits. Desserts mainly for the eyes. read more

was craving some cupcakes but instead got some french mini patisserie. Lana's does such a great work on those miniatures. You could easily see the even layers and the taste was on point. Tried the pistachio one, mocha one with a crusty base, passion fruit tart and eclair (i believe). All of them were a masterpiece. Lovely. Definitely my new go to place for desserts. read more

I love their tiny pastries, tarts, custards, and candies! Every dessert is a miniature work of art, that's both a sight to behold and a treat for your tastebuds. While they can be a little price, you get your money's worth - Lana's has some of the finest sweet bites in the surrounding area. read more

Lana's is our go to place. From the 100's of times I have been there, the taste of their product and quality is impeccable. Their presentation to their choice of flavors is amazing. There is no comparison to their cakes in the north west suburbs. read more

I ordered the cityscape cake for my wedding. Lana did an amazing job with the design and flavor. First of all, I'm not a soft, cuddly, roses and white cake kind of girl! I wanted something with character...and chocolate! The inside of the cake was chocolate rasberry mousse with the outside being all dark chocolate. She even made one of the layers gluten-free per my request. Overall, she is amazing and deserves a ton of credit for the great job she does. Her cakes are a little pricey but it's totally worth it for the excellent flavor. I went for a tasting to Oak Mill, and they don't have "gluten-free" options and their prices are crazy. Overall, Lana is the place to go for quality! read more

Gluten free options are slim. There are no real gluten free cakes. I went in and asked what was gluten free but didn't feel too confident in the answer I got. I was told some of their entremets were gluten free but that they are only filled with mousse. Due to the price, I wasn't willing to try any of the mousse entremets. There were a few small things that were gluten free such as macarons, and I believe an almond flour cookie. Have no idea what type of practices they use in the kitchen if you're concerned about cross contamination. read more

Bad service and bad taste! Save your money! I have ordered a cake for my husband's birthday - a custom cake. First I was very disappointed because Lana did refuse to do what I wanted in regards to the visualization of the cake. And my request was quite simple - I wanted to include a qoute on the cake, she said there is no space to write it since it was too long, I suggested printing it out , she said she can't do it. So I had to order the printed sheet on line and attach it myself to the cake... When I got the cake I saw that they did used a printer for the most part anyway, so it would not be complicated thing for them to do, but Lana was just unwilling to accommodate my request and she was unwilling to think for a second. I said to myself fine, the cake looks nice, I did the qoute myself, hopefully the cake is at least delicious. Yeah, right! The cake didn't taste good at all, it was dry and nothing to what the picture looked like. I tried it and I didn't want to eat it! I have to say I do love to eat sweets and cakes etc, but good ones. I also happened to try another cake of hers and I didn't like that one either. So my conclusion is that their cakes are just not very good. If you have tried Oak Mill Bakery Cakes I can tell you that their cakes are tastier than Lana's. I was really looking for something good, but... I guess next time I need a cake I will just do it myself, it ain't going to be very pretty, but sure it will be delicious! read more

I love the idea of this bakery. Desserts look great but unfortunately the ones i got were not fresh! Dried out and tasted like they were made at least few days prior which came to my surprise because I went there Saturday. I guess it's just not very consistent because when my friend brought over macaroons from there, they were VERY good. So this experience was disappointing. read more

I went to check this place out after seeing some reviews on yelp. I'm really glad I did! The store was very neat and clean and so cute! All the pastries and cookies and behind glass and for the amount of space available, I thought the selection was fairly decent. I tried the macarons -rose/pistachio/hazelnut/coffee and I liked the rose and the pistachio the most. (To be honest I'm not a huge macaron fan, but these looked really appetizing and they tasted great! I also got some plain cookies and a mini pastry. My total with 6 macarons, some cookies and a pastry was around $18. So fairly pricy, but again I think well worth it. There is ample parking, the service is friendly, you can place orders for cakes which looked very nice! They also make coffee drinks with lavazza brand coffee. All in all, I think if you are looking for really great macarons or nice pastry items check out this bakery. I will be going back for sure. read more

This is hands down to me the best pastry shop in the suburb. I only tried their mini pastries. All of them are wonderful. The french macaroon is perfectly done. It is so delicate. Best macaroon I had in the States. I also had the opera, dessert short, tiramisu, raspberry ganache, eclair. All of them matches some of the best I had in high end restaurants or resorts. I will definitely go back for some cakes next time. read more

I found this place when I was searching for gluten free cupcakes in the Lincolnshire area. My boss's birthday is next Saturday and I thought it would be nice to surprise him with a dessert he can actually eat! I was excited when I saw all the great reviews and the photos of all the desserts look awesome. Best of all, the description on here includes gluten free as one of their options! However, when I called, the woman I spoke to said they cannot make gluten free cupcakes. Please update your information so customers are not mislead. I was looking forward to checking out your bakery. read more

You get what you pay for- deliciousness. The cakes are made fresh, every day different flavors; they are usually garnished with fruits, orchids and chocolate creations. If you want writing that's not a problem even in another language. A small cake is enough for 6-8 people, inside there is usually meringue or sponge cake and mousse. This is not your gross American buttercream and given that they use quality ingredients you will be paying that price. read more
