When I contacted Crystal about making an anniversary cake for my parents, I asked about customizing…read morethe flavor. Her immediate response was "no problem!" She wasn't kidding! She created a strawberry bourbon masterpiece that was both gorgeous AND delicious! My parents were absolutely delighted with this scrumptious sensation. Her price was incredibly reasonable, and Crystal was so easy to work with. You should order from her before she's too busy to take your order. We are already planning our next event just to order from her again! Thank you so much Crystal!

It was VERY short notice, but Crystal responded to my inquiries quickly, was able to make suggestions that worked for a quick turn around AND some specific requests! We settled on summer-y strawberry topped cupcakes that were PERFECT - the topping was light and refreshing (not overbearingly sweet like so many commercial desserts these days). A delicious ending for our celebratory dinner!!

We also bought the amazing rice krispy treats (dairy free)- one covered in jelly beans and one covered in nerds. Again, the jelly beans were so soft & fresh. The rice krispy treat was so gooey and delicious- I ate pieces at a time because it was so big. This store was a delightful find on a weekday when not much was open. My daughter with allergies was very happy to find some safe options. Will definitely be back next time I'm in town.

Got a few great things from this bakery located next to The Norwegian, a place to stop after…read morebreakfast or at lunch. It's a pretty new bakery, and hasn't gotten quite the attention it should. Wonderland Sweets has quite a variety. More traditional offerings like cupcakes and the like. There's also dairy free options. A thing to know before going is it shares the building with another business. It's a decor company called Rooted. There's lots of handcrafted stuff like paintings and that kind of thing. As for the bakery, the stuff there is also handcrafted. There's cookies, cupcakes, lots of stuff. It's about $4 for a cupcake. There's a few vegan flavors including the Cookies And Cream one. Cupcakes can come topped with whole berries. There's also macarons. Has lots of freshly baked goods. It's great for going to after eating next door, for dessert or just as a snack. There's a few items that are okay for vegans.

Overall, this place is great. Sylvia F.

NGL the carrot cake (cream cheese frosting - not overly sweet and not too dense which is what I prefer!) and double chocolate were perfection and I'm glad we got 2 of each.

These went very quickly with our small family get together!! Haha we also tried a strawberry banana smoothie which was quite yummy! I highly recommend and always love supporting local small businesses.

I'm not sure how new this place is to the area, but it is new to me as I moved away from Elgin and I've come back a year ago so this was a pleasant surprise. I decided to go in and the interior was very beautiful with pink and floral motifs all around. I was warmly greeted by the baker, as I'm sure he was busy in the back. I ordered a pack of four cupcakes. I was interested in as well as a smoothie and went on my merry way. When I got home, I enjoyed the almond wedding cake cupcake and it was very delicious! Not too sweet, but very elegant and just what I would definitely serve or like to see in a high-end party or event of some kind. I will definitely be coming back whenever my sweet tooth craving kicks in again!
