    3D Horse cake. chocolate with buttercream
    Ka'ili H.

    Cake Baking has truly risen to a whole new level. If I had known, ten years ago, that a cake baker could bake me a 3D cake of a Disney character or of my favorite animal I would have begged & begged for one of my own for my birthday. Eating a cake, now that has stayed the same...at least for me. Cake Specialists is a family owned bakery that delivers great taste, creative designs, and happiness in each of their creations. My first meeting of a Cake Specialist cake was 2 years ago for my niece's 3rd birthday: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/tPBKSFh7iBLhxtm4Iku98A?select=xkTCoIbIiji8pLmWuaU2uQ *she loves horses* I knew it was love at first bite when I kept eating the leftovers two days after the party!! Yeaaaah...I'm a bit of a sweet maniac, hence working out daily is a must! We ordered from them again this past January, then for my brother in law's birthday yesterday. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/tPBKSFh7iBLhxtm4Iku98A?select=xsfbAOunpd-EjWoHY4QCRQ a slice of love: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/tPBKSFh7iBLhxtm4Iku98A?select=IZFmgmxgdf8-d5npSwoJ9A *insider tip: I had to pick up this cake the day before so we kept it in the fridge, took it out about 3-4 hours before serving time, and the cake was sooooo moist and yummy!!* They probably think I'm obsessed with their cakes because I'm the one that keeps ordering the cakes!!!!!! What's great about this little business is that they can do a variety of cake creations for you: 3D, cut out cakes, photo scanning, (my niece drew a picture on a napkin for the red velvet cake and they did it) and their own designs. Prices are reasonable so you always leave with what you wanted and still have money in your pocket. Looking forward to another creative & great tasting cake from them!

    Birthday Cake shaped like a present.  Chocolate chip cake with chocolate ganache filling and a colorful fondant covering and decorations

    Went to the Cake Specialist to do something different for our daughter's birthday. Usually we either bake a cake ourselves or go pick up a giant cookie, but wanted this occasion to be a bit more special. Got an absolutely gorgeous cake shaped like a birthday present. Cake was chocolate chip with a chocolate ganache filling and a colorful fondant covering. Our daughter loved it and the girls at her party did as well. Very tasty and worth the price. One small shortfall was that we were told to pick it up on a specific day after 3 pm and before 4pm, but when we arrived at the designated time, the cake was not finished and had to wait an additional 30 minutes.

    I LOVE The Cake Specialist! Everyone here is so nice and friendly. I have ordered four cakes from here but I included a picture of my favorite. She is super creative and can help you design the perfect cake for whatever occasion you're celebrating. Our cakes look like masterpieces from a TV show when ordered from here. Her chocolate and vanilla have been big hits but we've even ordered a Hummingbird layer before, which was phenomenal. I can't say enough good things about The Cake Specialist. Order your cake here.

    A friend of mine's sons birthday was coming up and he wanted a shadow cake because that is his favorite sonic character and my friend searched forever to find a place to make the cake she had in mind for him, she told me about this place and how she spoke to the owner jamie who was so nice and took the time to listen to her dream cake idea and made it come to life and it was better than she could've ever imagined. I couldn't believe it, there cakes are hands down the best tasting and the best looking I'd def recommened this place if your looking to make a kids dream come true or if you want an amazing wedding cake done, give them a try. The cupcakes were also delicious im guilty of eating half the dozen in one sitting.

    We have used Cake Specialist 6 times! They always take my inspiration and blow it out of the water! They're great, gorgeous cakes and are SO yummy!

    My family uses any excuse to get a cake from The Cake Specialist. The almond cake is top notch; our go to flavor. We've thrown some complicated designs at them and they've never let us down. Even just the almond cupcakes are amazing. I'd recommend to anyone, for any occasion!

    The cake was decorated pretty but the cake itself was extremely dry. Also when I was ordering the cake the person helping me wasn't the friendliest.

    I love how they decorate cakes been going to them for a while and they've decorated my daughters cake and they did my wedding cake love the flavors they have, love how moist the cake is and love how well price they are.

    1st attempt at grad cake.  Nothing centered. Nothing Special.

    Unless you are a very creative person and can translate this to them on what exactly to do, this may not be the place for you. This place was recommended to me by a friend who has ordered cakes from them for years. I gladly took the recommendation, contacted them about needing a cake for graduation... and I was upfront that I had no idea what I wanted. They suggested Pinterest for ideas and said I could look through their book for ideas when stopping in. A few days later, I stopped into the store with a few ideas that I typed up. Admittedly, it was not detailed, but explained that my son was graduating and moving away to play baseball in Arizona. I gave them the school info and the logo for the baseball program and asked them to do their thing. Paid $100 for a sheet cake. When I went to pick up the cake the day before the graduation, I was in shock. What I picked up was a cake that looked as if they rushed through it cuz they were busy. There was nothing creative, fun, or exciting about it. They didn't even take the time to center anything! The writing was piped on and the edible print outs they used were wrinkled and just like everything else, off center... I seriously could have done this cake myself. I left with the cake and then before I even reached home, I pulled over and called them. They were nice enough to let me bring it back and they said they would work on doing better. When we got back to the store with the cake, we dealt with two people. One person who was trying to make things right and another who was obviously offended that we didn't like her off-kilter work (I found out later this was the owner). I seriously thought this irate individual was going to come over the counter at us at one point. She was adamant that we need to tell them exactly what we want and that we need to tell them to be creative. I calmly explained that I had given the leeway to be creative and had told them this is not my area of expertise. In fact... SPECIALIST is in THEIR name... shouldn't they be the ones to come up with something amazing???? They scraped off the frosting of the fiasco they gave me and did somewhat better, but it was still nothing special. I get that it's a sheet cake, so there's only so much you can do, but I went to several grad parties with sheet cakes that had cool effects on them, air brushed designs, cool lettering, etc. Hy-Vee or Sam's probably would have done better... for less! And I love Hy-Vee cakes! The upside... Everyone loved the taste of the cake. It did taste good. Not the best cake I ever had, but it's up there. Due to the owner being so hostile, I will never go back and give them another try... and will never recommend them to anyone. Wouldn't you want better for your grad cake?

    As cool as they look they were even more delicious! The flowers were gum paste and the photo does not due it justice!!

    Its your wedding and you want it to be special. GO THERE!!! I was planning all this from out of state. I called so many places and received mediocre responses or just were not interested. I was looking for a simple pink cake with filling and a simple slot machine. I sent photos as suggestions! THEY WERE AMAZING FROM THE START!! Called me back immediately. Looked through the photos, gave me prices. I came in a few days before the wedding to confirm the design and a tasting. WOW yumalicious! The cake arrived just as promised, everyone kept asking where did I find this baker! and there were lots of 2nd servings. I sure wish I had a piece right now! Pros: great pricing, lots of flavors, tasty cake, punctual, helpful/attentive/creative staff=Professional Cons: None!

    Octonauts cake!

    This is a rarity, it's a review that I have been looking forward to writing!!! This place is absolutely amazing! From the customer service, to the cake decorating, and the actual taste of the cake, I was stunned at the level of professionalism! I went in to try and get an Octonauts cake for my son. I spoke briefly with Jayme about what i had in mind, and she went with the rest. The result? One of the most amazing cakes I've ever seen in person! I can't wait until i have another reason to order a cake!

    My sisters Baby Shower cake. Vanilla buttercream frosting with vanilla cake. Amazing!

    I would give a thousand stars if I could! I live in Denver now, so this was accomplished through one conversation as to what I was looking for. Not only was the cake gorgeous and exactly what I wanted, it was one of the best flavored cakes I and everyone else at the party I have ever had. EVERYONE was complementing on the decorations and the flavor. Amazing job and everyone asked where I got the cake from so you will be getting several new customers. Also, I am SHOCKED at the price. That cake would have easily been $80-$100 in Denver. For $35 dollars, I felt like I was stealing it! Thanks again!

    Lithuanian Bakery & Delicatessen - Brownies with almonds

    A good loaf of Lithuanian sourdough rye bread is a gift from God. living in Chicago, we used to…read moreenjoy great Lithuanian Ryebread from neighborhood bakeries. A delicate hint of sour, and a soft touch of light rye, with a fresh scent of caraway and onion..... it is a perfect loaf! Chewy, but still supple. they have mastered the craft. People living in Lithuania might be jealous! But such bakeries are rare, even in Chicago nowadays. we live here in California and there is nothing even close to what we remember. But luckily, this little gem of a bakery is making their incredible Lithuanian sourdough rye bread available via Goldbelly. if you are lucky enough to be standing in front of this bakery, run, don't walk inside and buy as many loaves as you have money for. They will freeze well, and they will be the best bread you have ever eaten. If you are not standing in front of it, do what I did. go to their website, and order by Goldbelly. I plan to do it for as long as they remain in business. This bread certainly makes a good sandwich if you slice it thin. But I prefer it toasted, with butter. Or better yet, smeared with Lithuanian farmers cheese that has bits of Caraway. The toast softens the cheese a bit, and you have a gooey treat! If you don't have such cheese (Andrulis is a good brand) consider a good creamy goat or even a simple cow's milk cream cheese spread from good ol' Philadelphia. Honestly, you can just eat it straight from. The loaf. Can't go wrong.

    Delicious custard cake with multiple layers . It never changes . We always order this for Easter…read moretime , my kids ( adults ) all love it !
