    Ombré cake in purple
    Amy C.

    This is the first time we have ordered from this particular bakery, but we decided to because we are trying to support local businesses. Their safety measures are great, the ordering process simple, and our daughter's cake was simply amazing. It tasted even better than it looked, as well. We will order again. In fact, we have ordered Valentine's Day treats, and Fat Tuesday donuts. The pick up times are VERY specific--for safety and because they are a small business. I respect and appreciate that!

    Cinnamon Rolls

    I love getting the chance to try a new bakery. Especially one in the suburbs that can compete with the ones in the city, which can be hard to find. Everyone of them is different and seems to have their own take on many of the classics. I've found that few local bakeries actually make macarons and this place does them well. Then to top it off they have fruity pebbles macarons....can it possibly get any better?!? The macarons themselves were outstanding. Probably because I've never had a fruity pebble one and the originality just puts the classic over the top. You have to have a sweet tooth for these babies, because they are quite sugary. But once you have one, it's unbelievably hard to not continue grabbing them. The outside is rolled in the classic cereal to give it a festive look. Highly suggest trying these. I was also able to try their cinnamon rolls which they are known for. These give your classic Cinnabon's a run for their money. Nice balance of sweetness from the glaze and the buttery cinnamon within. Can't wait to get back here and try some of their other bakery items. As a side note, some of the items can be special order, but worth the wait.

    Custom 8 inch round birthday cake

    Absolutely blown away by my gorgeous surprise birthday cake!! I have never seen such a pretty cake before. The cake was originally supposed to have blue and purple accents but they customized the colors to be pink for me. My sister custom ordered an 6 inch round cake for me; wedding cake flavor with vanilla almond frosting. The cake served 7 people and we still had leftovers for later. The wedding cake was soft and good but the frosting is the only reason this cake isn't getting a full 5 stars from me. The almond extract flavoring was overpowering and made the frosting overwhelming. The consistency of the frosting was great though and I did enjoy little helpings of the frosting with each bit of cake. This last little point is what really sold me on this bakery... the donuts on the top of the cake were DELICIOUS! I thought that they would be more for decorative purposes but they were very good, I actually would order one on it's own. The cake filled ice cream cone on top was also very good and just enough to munch on later. *Keep in mind that these cake need to be refrigerated and it was difficult fitting it in to our home fridge due to the height of the cake but we made it work. Make a space in your home fridge before bringing one of these delicious cakes home. I highly recommend Vanilla Sugar Bakery when you're looking for a cake that WOWS!! Their presentation is 13/10 and the taste is delightful! I will definitely be ordering a cake from this bakery again in the future.

    Not the prettiest photo - but the inside was completely blue besides the filling in the middle.

    Ordered a gender reveal cake and couldn't have been happier with the way it turned out! And everyone loved the way it tasted! Will definitely order future custom cake orders from Vanilla Sugar Bakery!

    Last week my work BFF brought me some goodies from Vanilla Sugar Bakery for my birthday. She knows me all too well because when I opened the adorable box it was full of brownies and M&M cookies. It pained me a bit to share them with my coworkers (just kidding...kinda) but I did. I kept one of each for myself though so I could properly give my two cents. You MUST get their brownie. It's definitely top three brownies I've ever had. It was so fudgy, rich and thick, each bite getting better than the last. My work BFF said when her hubby picked up the goods from the bakery they were warm straight from the oven. I'm so envious of his timing and wish I could have had one fresh & toasty out the oven! I could take or leave their M&M cookies. They are huge with just a few M&Ms on them. They had good flavor but are cooked very thin so they end up being quite hard & crunchy. Just a personal preference type of thing but I like my cookies soft & chewy as opposed to hard & crunchy.

    This place is the real deal. We've been getting cupcakes/random treats for years and everything always blows away our expectations. Based on this my now husband and I knew we'd have to order our wedding cake from VSB. The cake was delicious, beautifully decorated and we got SO many compliments from our guests.

    The gorgeous wedding cake that VSB created for us.

    My husband and I got our wedding cake from Vanilla Sugar Bakery, and the experience from the very beginning to the big day had been so easy to coordinate with Norma and her team. Our tasting was so yummy and Norma was so patient with our questions - even offering advice of her own from personal experience with our best interests in mind. She even suggested a great idea of accommodating our family members with nut allergies. Leading up to the wedding day, she responded to my emails in such a prompt and friendly manner - advising on the cake drum, the color of the ribbon on our cake decor, as well as what time we should coordinate with our florist for when to have flowers ready. Her team also made sure that *they* were the ones to set up the cake at the venue in a timeframe that made sense, including arranging the cake topper and flowers on the cake themselves. That was especially key to my husband and I - we knew that VSB was dedicated to their product through-and-through. Our layers were chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream, wedded bliss, chocolate with salted caramel, and white chocolate with raspberry filling - all were out of this world delicious, but our absolute favorite was wedding bliss. All of our guests loved the cake, and even begged to try all the different flavors we picked. If you have any doubts whatsoever when picking a bakery for your wedding or any special event, pick Vanilla Sugar Bakery. The best decision we ever made.

    They have a variety of novel flavors of cupcakes: wedding bliss, strawberry cheesecake, raspberry lemon ginger etc. the icing is made of real cream cheese. Yummm. they are all beautifully made with cute color and frostings. As tasty as molly's cupcakes:) Store is painted pink, love the cute atmosphere here. Huge window with abundant natural light. Great place to grab a cup of coffee and just read.

    Honestly one of the best bakeries! They were so thoughtful and understanding when I made mistake on the pickup date. The cake was so good I can't believe I found them!!

    Iced mocha
    Courtney C.

    You know that you can't be in a bad mood when you A) walk into a room that's painted bubble gum pink or B) when desserts are involved. Lucky for me, Vanilla Sugar has both which kept me on cloud 9 for the rest of the day. I came for the macarons but I was happy to see they also had coffee. I ordered a medium iced mocha and it was the best coffee I've had in awhile. There were only 2 flavors of macarons available (aww, sad) so I went for 2 of each- the princess and the salted caramel. Both were really tasty but the salted caramel was my favorite. I should also say that I normally hate salted caramel macarons because the flavor always tastes either way too sweet or way too salty. Theirs is the exception to the rule -- it was completely perfect in every aspect. Being the nice wife that I am, I brought home the PBO cookie sandwich for my husband. I really had no idea what to get him and just picked the first thing that I thought might remotely interest him. I was actually hoping to pick something he hated so I could eat it later, but alas, he loved it. It tasted exactly like the Peanut Butter Sandwich Girl Scout cookies. It was really moist and flavorful. I hope to get back here soon and try more sweets. There were so many other things that caught my eye!

    My favorite cupcake, chocolate salted caramel! They even read my review and added more caramel in the cupcake! Yum yum!!!

    Just to let you know, I'm craving a chocolate salted caramel cupcake as I type this right now! LOL I've been looking for a great cupcake, let alone a great bakery since we moved to Wheaton. I believe I found it, well, my husband did (thanks hubby)! He surprised me with a oatmeal chocolate bar (I believe) after giving birth to our second child Malea Rose. I didn't care for it but I'll give it one more chance. The winner for me are their cupcakes! He thought that the first cupcake I would like to try was the salted caramel cupcake and then the cheesecake cupcake.... I loved the first one; so moist and flavorful, not cold, hard, and frozen like the other bakery I've been to (not naming any names LOL)! Since being out of the hospital, I tried the chocolate salted caramel cupcake and I'm now in love! The only complaint I would have is that there is way too much frosting for my liking and not enough salted caramel, but hey, that won't stop me from trying and liking other things. I wish I knew about this place for my baby shower but I'll be using them for my children's birthdays, my birthday and anytime I just want to throw a party just to have an array of desserts to choose from.... All in all, this place is amazing and I will at least try ALL of their flavor and other desserts they have to offer (Lord help me not to gain too much weight)!

    I really wanted to like this place but the truth is, I didn't. I ordered ahead for some cupcakes…read moreand was quoted a price. When I arrived, I was informed that she decided to make a few more cupcakes to fill in the serving dish. I was fine with that until she raised the amount that she said I owed... If she decided to make more, that's on her. Why would I have to pay more? So I'm not sure if she raised the price because of the couple cupcakes she added or if she just changed it haphazardly. I'm not sure which would be worse....either way, bad. I didn't squabble over a couple bucks but was annoyed. Then, I paid and I didn't notice until I was on my way that she gave me the wrong change....again to her advantage. Umm....wtf? I don't know what to say about a business like this!!! The cupcakes themselves weren't good. The frosting had hardened and it was pure sugar!! I can't even say the flavor was good....even though I generally love sweets. These were too sweet!! I honestly hated them!! I will not return to this place....ever.

    I've had mixed experiences here. They make excellent cookies, of which I've tried several, and…read moretheir chocolate pretzels are standard. But their cakes really don't hold up. I've had them twice, and both were consumed within the hour of buying them. Both had frosting that tasted like sweetened plastic, a strangely wet (not moist, just wet) interior, and an off flavor. One cake in particular stood out, a chocolate cake with white frosting, which tasted like someone had mixed flat rootbeer with a few teaspoons of rubbing alcohol and soaked the bottom of the cake in it. It was very strange, and we obviously didn't finish it. I maintain that they make good cookies, though, and I'll probably go back for those.

In fact, the last time I was there, the sweet young lady behind the counter complimented my style, which honestly made this 40-something feel pretty good about herself.

So the space here is mostly taken up with pizza boxes and a long food service table, with a narrowish aisle to order your food / desserts. They have meatballs; various pizza slices and whole pizzas (unlike the new place next door, they'll serve you slices all day); lasagna and manicotti. There are other things but I'm a vegetarian so I zone out the minute I see "sausage." Vegetarian? They default to a marinara red sauce and vegetable is one of the default slices. I didn't see eggplant parmesan on the menu, but they told me if I ask for it (advance notice would be helpful) they'll make it. Entrees are served hot. The manicotti and lasagna are delicious; the manicotti is not a big pan but a take-out container with two manicotti rolls; will feed one hungry person but wouldn't be enough for two people. Service is still friendly although the space is now a little cramped. The cake and gelato, etc. are still delicious, so I stand by everything I said about dessert in my earlier review.

It was better than most gelato places I've been to. I can taste the ingredients well. Quantity- they give a fair amount for the price. 2 scoops for 6 bucks.
