I ordered a baptism / birthday cake for my son Noah. I had many compliments on the cake. The top…read morewas shaped as Noah's Arc. The animals and boat were made out of fondant. Wow! It was so cute and creative. Honestly, the best cake I've ordered so far. Aside from the cuteness of the cake, it tasted amazing. I wasn't sure what I was going to get as far as filling, but I asked Selina for recommendations. Because I couldn't decide between the two, she suggested maybe getting marble w/ white chocolate ganache on one tier and the vanilla cake with bavarian cream and fresh strawberries on the other. I knew I wanted something perfect for summer. Light, cooler on the palate, with fruit. I decided to go with the bavarian cream w/ fresh strawberries filling for the entire cake. Oh my goodness, it was exactly what I expected. Two points I wanted to touch on that could've been better as far as my experience: 1) The company emailed me a few days later after placing my order and requested payment. I'd already paid in full when I placed the order initially. I was told it was an administrative issue. No problem after that. 2) My husband went to pickup the cake the day of our son's baptism/1st birthday. Whoever was there that Saturday morning forgot to give my husband the "smash cake" (small cake 1-year-old gets to have and play with / smash). Dream Cakes, however, did call that morning and apologized and suggested that they drop it off at our event location. Luckily, it was only 15 minutes away from their bakery / office. Overall, I'm so happy with the cake I ordered. I would definitely order from Dream Cakes again and would recommend it to any friends / family. Please plan ahead as they need advanced notice -I believe 3 weeks in advance. AND, make sure you look at your order in full upon pickup if you can. Good job, Dream Cakes!

Their online gallery was impressive, so I was eager to contact them to come up with some ideas. Selina was very professional, courteous and knowledgeable. I sent a picture as a starting off point, but what they accomplished was above and beyond what I expected. Not only did it look incredible, it tasted amazing also! Great texture and flavors. The adults were shocked that it was a real cake. They thought it was part of the party decorations! The kids loved it; not a crumb left on their plates. It was such a great experience from beginning to end; I will be back again and again.

I was surprised with a box of Carol's Cookies! Had no idea about this company, but glad to be…read moreintroduced! This rather mid-sized box arrived to my doorstep which is rather weighty. I open it and it is a gift from a place I'd made a rather large purchase. Thanks! When I opened the outer box the wonderful smell of butter and other sweet fragrances hit my nose. As I open the inner box I see four (4) huge cookies! they come wrapped in cellophane bags with a cute ribbon. There were no names of the flavored cookies, yet I took an educated guess. These cookies are the largest (In depth) cookies I have ever encountered. Thick and delicious with rich butter flavor is the best way for me to describe them. At the thickest section of the cookie - unfortunately was of a sandy milli consistency, yet the butter taste was throughout. I will say that if I am in the area of where the cookie shop is, I will definitely stop in to purchase some - as I sure hope they are clearly marked/identified. P.S. Thank you for the Sweet Treats...You know who you are!

Our first meeting wasn't great, and we were unsure about moving forward. Thankfully, they allowed us to come back for a second visit--and that visit completely blew us away with their incredible customer service. The baker took her time listening to our vision and thoughtfully sketched out a cake design that perfectly fit our theme. She also offered insightful suggestions that really helped bring our ideas to life. On the wedding day, the cake looked absolutely beautiful and tasted even better. We chose a white cake with a French custard dulce de leche filling, and we had guests who normally dislike sweets devour their slices! We can't wait to enjoy our anniversary layer next year.

I've learned that when I attend events (weddings, bar mitzvahs, etc) I mostly eat the apps and…read moredesserts. So when i'm planning my own parties I try to make sure I have fabulous appetizers and desserts. This past weekend we celebrated my son's bar mitzvah. We chose to bring in our own dessert vendors. I knew we would want Jo Jos Shake Bar since it's always a hit with kids (and adults too), but also wanted to have a fabulous sweets table. For my daughter's bat mitzvah we did it at ravinia festival and they had brought in a bunch of different dessert vendors including Desiree Chocolates. Her desserts were not only delicious (i ate the leftovers for about a month from my freezer), but also absolutely beautiful. When my event planner suggested we reach out to Desiree for sweets I was all in. Desiree made the process pretty easy. We set up a call to discuss our needs and decided on a sweets table + a churro cart. Then many months later we got together for a dessert tasting, which my son claims was the most fun part of the mitzvah planning process. We loved it all, but even added a few of our favorites to her menu- cheesecakes, carrot cake to name a few. The sweets table and churros cart were absolutely perfection and I love how she did a great job of tying my son's tennis theme into it too. I had a few bites of sweets that night since i was too busy socializing to eat much, but i took home a few trays of desserts and fudge and have been munching on them ever since. This time I only took home a bit because i didn't want to eat it for a month like i did last time, but we did have quite a bit leftover - probably since a lot of people filled up on Jo Jos Shake Bar. However, I've had so many compliments since the party on Desiree's cake pops, churros and other desserts so they were a big hit once again. I would definitely use Desiree for future events again- she makes fabulous sweets and displays it all beautifully!

I think I had one of those Dubai candy bars that are all the rage (or maybe were all the rage, I'm often behind the trends) and it was one of the best things I've eaten period. The custom churro bar is lots of fun and would be easy to set up wherever you need it. And everything is decorated perfectly, from the confections themselves to the tables and plates they sit on! Desiree Chocolates is a great option for whatever event you've got, just bring your sweet tooth!
