    Frosted Shamrock Sugar Cookies
    Jenelle S.

    AMAZING! Celia is a DOLL and her product is fantastic! So much care and quality in the beautiful cookies! I almost don't want to eat one but who am I kidding??? Celia asked me to send her some pics for inspiration, quoted me a price then sent me a link to confirm and pay. So easy and just look at these beautiful cookies! Thanks again, Celia!!!

    Wonderful customer service. Lady was helpful and place looked clean. Cupcakes were a hit! Especially the Boston cream & snickerdoodle ones. My man got two chocolate chip cookies for himself and said they were really good and tasted fresh.

    Our custom baby shower cake

    I recently had a specialty cake from Sweet C's created for a Harry Potter themed baby shower. This was my first time working with Sweet C's, but I guarantee it won't be the last. The cake we received was stunning and was admired by all at the shower. More importantly, it was absolutely delicious! Unlike many cakes you order that are bland or dry, this one was moist and extremely tasty. I also tried several of the specialty cupcakes and can vouch for them, as well. I highly recommend Sweet C's for your next custom cake order, but there's no need to wait for a special event. It's a wonderful place to stop by and get some delicious cupcakes or cookies. UPDATE: Sweet C's is open during the shelter in place directive! It's easy to order online. They will call you for your credit card details. There is easy curbside pickup-up. Just call when you arrive. The pastries and baked goods are as delicious as always. Coffee beverages are excellent, as well. An order from Sweet C's each week has become part of our new routine. We are delighted to support this local, small business and hope you will do the same during these difficult times. Together we can help them weather this storm.

    Ordered a cake for my SIL's baby shower from Sweet C's. The cake was a super hit! No kidding, it was delicious. We chose the vanilla cake with fresh strawberries. It was very fresh and juicy. Definitely recommending Sweet C's to friends and family! Will post better pictures soon.

    I ordered the holiday cookies, they were so beautiful and so amazingly tasty! I would have taken the picture of the grinch cookies but my kids ate them too quickly!! She has several designs and they are all so cute it was hard to decide.

    10/10!!!! Seriosuly 0 complaints! Starting with the service and ending with the cake itself, everything was amazing! I ordered a Dr. Who themed cake for my brothers bday and I couldn't have been more impressed. Every little detail they got right! Literally, EVERY detail. And it was so clean cut! They made it exactly how I asked/ showed them. And it actually tasted so good too!!! I cannot wait for the next occasion I have to see what they can do. So thankful I found this place!!

    After my experience at Sweet C's, I will never go anywhere else for my custom cake needs. Celia created this German chocolate Harley-Davidson masterpiece for my dad's 60th birthday on short notice and it was a hit. Everyone was impressed by the cake & my dad loved it (it's his favorite cake flavor). It turned out exactly as I imagined. I also picked up other assorted cupcakes to supplement the cake and they went fast. Everything was both beautiful and delicious. Thank you, Celia!

    Toffee shortbread cookie

    I stopped by on a sunny Sunday afternoon after searching Yelp for bakeries in the area since I planned to visit a nearby local coffeehouse. Thank you to my Yelp friend Sherwin C. for his lovely review & photos since they motivated me to check out Sweet C's. And I'm glad I did because I've discovered a lovely local spot for cookies! The shop is somewhat small and tucked between two others on Bothwell Street across from the train tracks. The owner greeted me as soon as I walked in. She apologized for the limited selection. I told her not to worry about it, since I saw plenty of viable options. She asked me if I was looking for a gift for someone. Ha ha! That someone is my sweet loving self! ;-p I asked her what she would recommend. She suggested the peanut butter kiss cookies, oatmeal cherry cookies and the brownie. As of late, I haven't been into super rich chocolaty treats so I mentally crossed the brownie off that list. My eyes immediately gravitated toward the toffee shortbread. I asked her how she felt about that one. She said it's good, but she much prefers rich and chocolaty items, hence her suggestion of the brownie. She offered me a freshly baked toffee shortbread that just came out of the oven. And, I was instantly sold. I loved the buttery shortbread mixed with generous pieces of toffee. I shared the cookie (yes, shocking, I know) with my fiance and he enjoyed it as well. I ended up buying two packages of cookies - the toffee shortbread cookies and the oatmeal cherry. The oatmeal cherry tasted great as well. I liked the texture - soft with a bit of chew and crisp. Again, like with the shortbread, you get a generous amount of cherries in your cookies. Total with tax for 12 cookies was $9.69, which isn't bad at all, saying that they are locally made. The owner gave me her card in case I was interested in having her bake some goodies for a special occasion. She also mentioned that Sweet C's is at local farmers markets too, so I made a note to check that out. Overall, I am impressed with these cookies and cannot wait to sample more of their offerings. Next time you're craving some cookies, check out Sweet C's Bakery. Your taste buds won't regret it.

    If I could give zero stars I would...Sweet C's really dropped the ball on my son's 1st Birthday cake. The birthday cake is a essential piece of a 1 year olds birthday party, so needless to say when I picked up a cake that is not at all what I asked for, and quite frankly looked like garbage, I was extremely disappointed. I could not believe the cake that was given to me. It was a blue cake with 'Happy Birthday Sonny" scribbled across the top of the cake, not centered, not done neatly or nicely. I had ordered the cake about a week and a half in advance; I personally went into the bakery and spoke with the owner. I explained what I wanted...I was to have a 12" round cake with sea blue icing and a dark blue border with "Happy Birthday Sonny" going around the side of the cake, in red...I was very specific when I stated I wanted to writing on the side of the cake, that's because I had a cake topper. I showed the cake topper to the owner, I asked if she wanted me to send her a picture so she could match it, she told me she did not need a picture she would remember... apparently she did not remember, even after I spoke with her face to face for at least 15 minutes about what we were doing. I paid upfront for this cake and a smash cake, and I even purchased some cupcakes when I was in the store placing the order; I spent a good amount of money in this bakery and now I was stuck with this awful cake that was embarrassing to present my guests so how a bakery could present it to a customer is beyond me. So I asked that they fix it. I asked that they scrape the writing off the top and put it around the side and I would just put my cake topper on and it would work, then the owner comes up and proceeded to basically call me a liar and said she never agreed to do this, they couldn't write on the side of the cake anyway because it would fit. What?! I asked them to just scrape the top off then because I did not want writing on the top, they asked me to come back in 30 minutes. 30 minutes later I got a cake that had the writing on the side, in Christmas colors, and not wrapped around the cake like I had originally asked for, but sloppily done on the side after they told me they couldn't do it anyway so I said just take it off the top! Whatever... I thanked them and took my cake because I had a party to throw, it worked once I threw the candle and topper on.... but the added stress and running around was not needed on a special day. I spent a lot of money on the cake, it should have looked A LOT nicer than it did. For a 1st Birthday, c'mon, it can't be the first cake you do!! Very disappointing. The cake I received is NOT what was ordered. If you wrote out the ticket wrong, that is on you. You told me you were going to personally decorate this cake and that sometimes when you're doing a cake your creativity flares and you were exited about doing it. When I came to get the cake I was told someone by the name of Stephanie did the cake. Regardless of what the miscommunication was, the cake received is not the cake that was ordered or paid for and looked like garbage. Any other bakery would put a little more effort into a cake for a ONE YEAR OLD BIRTHDAY. A little more effort to create a nicer looking cake is all it would have taken. You were too worried about hometown fest you shouldn't have taken on more than you can handle. This was not my fault and I was never told I was signing a "contract" you're shady business practices and poor customer service will put you out of business soon enough.

    They made cakes for our daughters last two birthdays and my sons first birthday along with my husbands. I will only get cakes from them. Professional and creative. This has been a difficult find in this area.

    I'm happy to hear, they are still baking the wonderful treats. Just not at a store front. Maybe Palatine farmers market would be great!

    Tried something different and went with an assortment of gourmet cupcakes to celebrate for my son's…read moregraduation today. The vibes here are awesome and the treats were DELICIOUS! 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. The salted caramel was also in my top 3 from the flavors we tried. DEFINITELY coming back here again to try other creations and flavors. Immediately followed all socials so I can get special updates. 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 was craving something sweet, but I didn't want something as basic at Starbucks or Dunkin so I…read moregoogled around some nearby bakeries and I found this place. 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!
