WEDDINGS AND EVENTS
WE ARE NOW BOOKING 2019 WEDDINGS. IF YOU ARE GETTING MARRIED IN 2019 NOW IS THE TIME TO BOOK YOUR BAKERY! WE ARE NOT DOING TASTINGS FOR 2020 WEDDINGS UNTIL JANUARY 2020.
WE ARE NOW BOOKED FOR ALL OF SUMMER 2019 AND MOST FALL DATES. KINDLY CHECK YOUR DATE BEFORE SCHEDULING A TASTING WITH US.

We only deliver to our delivery zone with a minimum order of $500 UNLESS we are on your venue’s preferred vendor list: check with our event staff. If your venue is outside our delivery zone we can still bake for you but you will have to arrange delivery.

SWEETS TABLES
Sweets Tables a/k/a Dessert Tables are a popular new way to enjoy wedding dessert. . .and a ton fun for you and your guests! What exactly is a Sweets Table? Any type of dessert other than the traditional tiered cake. You can customize your table with your favorite desserts and add a cutting cake for yourselves. Our Menu for Sweets Tables includes:
Cake Buffets:
One of our favorite dessert tables is the Cake Buffet! We just love when we get to make a lot of pretty cakes and then arrange them on a table! We just wish we could be there when your guests walk in too see the look on their faces!
Cake Buffets are created through an assortment of round layered cakes in varying sizes and flavors. We are experienced at helping you pick the perfect flavors and amounts. Another fun thing some of our brides have done is to put a cake on each guest table. Let us know you are interested in a cake buffet and we can help you with the most amazing set up!
Cupcakes and Mini Cupcakes:
Cupcakes and Mini Cupcakes are like little cakes and ours are pretty popular! You can see a list of our cupcakes on our Cupcake menu on this website. All of our flavors come in both sizes.
Mini Desserts:
We have a variety of mini desserts perfect for a dessert buffet, including Tiny Cheesecake Tarts, Lemon Bars, Brownies, Hello Dolly Bars, Rice Krispy treats, Marshmallow Pops, Shot Glass Desserts, mason jar desserts and our famous homestyle cookies in a variety of flavors.
Pies
There are a lot of people who prefer pie as a dessert and we have noticed a trend towards this homestyle dessert for wedding dessert. We handcraft all of our pie dough in our bakery and hand roll each one. We offer three sizes: 9 inches, 5 inches and 3 inches. The 9 inch is the traditional whole pie size, the 5 inch is a sharing size and the 3 inch is perfect for an individual portion. Most people like to offer the 3 inch size on a sweets table, while others offer a pie buffet with while pies. You can discover more about our pies on this website pie tab.
All dessert tables are individually priced based on the desserts you select and the amount. In order for us to provide you with an estimate we need to know the number of guests you want to feed and the desserts you want on your table. Desserts are custom created for each event. Check out our portfolio below of some of our creations!
Our Events Team is experienced at creating beautiful tablescapes. . .just the kind of WOW you are searching for your special day.

OUR PROCESS
First: Our initial meeting is typically when you contact us via phone, email or drop in the shop. Many people are looking for a price. However, it is difficult to give a generic price for an event that you will want custom details. In order to provide an estimate we need to know at a minimum:
-
Your guest totals---this number typically determines the amount of dessert you will order.
-
The date, time and location of your venue to know if we have room on our calendar.
-
The type of dessert. Exactly. In order to price a dessert for you we need to know what you want (i.e. tiered cake, dessert table, etc). We have no "general" tiered cake pricing. Your tiered cake price depends on size, flavor and design.
-
If you want us to deliver. Our delivery fee is based on how far we will be going, what we are delivering and how long we will be at the venue for you.
-
Custom requests such as matching ribbon, special sprinkles, custom order baking cups, etc.
Typically we are able to obtain all of this information from you at a Dessert Tasting and provide you with an estimate at that time.
Second, the Dessert Tasting. Tastings are conducted by appointment only in our shop. Appointments for tastings can be made on our website or by calling us at (630) 882-2536 (for faster service please call this number and not our retail shop number).
-
Our Tasting fee is $25 for up to 4 people or $35 for up to 6 people, unless covered by your venue.
-
You will meet with a member of our Events team member to taste items as well as fully discuss your dessert needs. Please feel free to bring with you whatever you want to show up so that we can design your perfect desserts.
-
After the tasting we will provide you with an estimate. If you decide to put down a deposit we will reserve your date on our calendar. If we reserve your date on our calendar, your $200 deposit is non-refundable unless you cancel within 6 months of your wedding date.
