Hello! I'm Amanda, born and raised in Grand Rapids, MI. I am a self-taught baker who started baking 10 years ago by starting with cakes and advanced my way up to other baked goods including but not limited to macarons, beautifully decorated sugar cookies and many more. I enjoy every step of the baking process and decorating. It warms my heart to feed others my delicious creations and to hear how much they've enjoyed them.

Awarded Best of Zola
We were thrilled with Little Whisk Bakes and would highly recommend Amanda for any special occasion. Throughout the planning process, Amanda was communicative, responsive to questions, and always punctual. When it came to bringing our wedding cake vision to life, she absolutely nailed it. The final product was a true work of art - three beautifully decorated tiers with an amazing flavor profile. Our guests raved about how delicious the cake was - the chocolate and raspberry filling paired perfectly with the vanilla cake. Amanda's attention to detail and creative talent resulted in the tastiest cake I've personally ever enjoyed. Her customer service matches the quality of her baking. We felt she really cared about making our wedding cake special and memorable. Any couple would be lucky to have Amanda and Little Whisk Bakes be a part of their big day!

  • Serves Thornton, IL

Our fresh, custom, elegantly decorated ice cream wedding cakes are like no other dessert option in Chicago! I have been creating ice cream cakes for decades and have been serving wedding customers in Chicago since 2019, first through Bartleby's Ice Cream Cakes online and since 2024 from the Bartleby's Homemade Ice Cream shop. With my many years of experience providing wedding cakes of all sizes, flavors, and designs and in all kinds of venues and weather, you can be sure that your Bartleby's cake will be beautiful, structurally sound, and delicious!

My husband and I used Bartleby's for our wedding, and they were fantastic! W had tried their cakes prior to our wedding and loved them, so we knew we had to lock them in for desserts at our reception. We're both vegan, and were thrilled to find a vendor who made quality vegan desserts with a plethora of tasty options, with countless ways to mix and match flavors. Plus, how fun is ice cream cake?! Our guests loved it (it was entirely gone by the end of the evening!) and they also enjoyed the bonus ice cream sandwiches we also ordered from Bartleby's. The entire ordering process was super easy as well, from tasting all the way up until finalizing delivery.

I was able to fill out a simple online form, and then did a quick phone consult to discuss our themes. Audrey delivered on several amazingly detailed designs, each individually wrapped, almost too pretty to eat! But these are definitely cookies that SHOULD be eaten, as they’re soft and delectable!

The Pink Cupcake 
  • Serves Thornton, IL

My name is Karen & I’m the face behind The Pink Cupcake. So a little about myself; I sold my first cake in the summer of 2016 to a family friend who needed an emergency cake after forgetting to order one. The thought of selling my own products quickly became a constant goal in my mind. After a few years, I earned my Culinary Arts/Baking & Pastry degree in 2020 and my Business Management degree in 2021.

But we’re super into feeding our flavorful treats to those who crave the unexpected.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I have always loved Milk Bar cakes and they have made appearances throughout our relationship- at birthdays, our engagement, and just for fun. So it was a no-brainer that we wanted to have it as our wedding cake. We got married in Greenville, SC in October 2022 and it was so easy to arrange for them to be shipped down and arrive 2 days before the wedding. They arrived at our home and we dropped them off with our caters who placed the 6" cake on top of a 10" cake for the wedding day! It looked beautiful and our guests raved about how great it tasted. Months later, we still have guests asking where it was from! We also provided plastic to-go boxes for guests to take home the extras at the end of the night. We had 80 guests and purchased four 10" cakes and one 6" cake. Thank you Milk Bar for the easy and delicious process!

Hi, my name is Lucy! I'm a baker and decorator located in Downtown Milwaukee, and spend most of my time in the kitchen! I also come from a lineage of bakers, and most notably the "Cake Lady of Erie Pennsylvania" - being my great grandma. So, this is kind of in my genes. ​I've been baking professionally for over 7 years, and was hired to make my first wedding cake when I was just 16! I love being able to give clients something memorable for their weddings, events, or as gifts for their loved ones. Consistency and flexibility are the two main ingredients in making my clients come back for seconds!

Awarded Best of Zola
From a wedding cake made with a recipe that has been passed down for generations to cookies that look like your dog for your guests to take home, Lucy is the one. Her work is beautiful, and it not only looks good, but it always tastes amazing. All of our guests still talk about our cake years later. She is so creative and patient. She listened to my 45,000 ideas about cakes and helped me narrow it down until we settled something that I absolutely loved. We received multiple commented from our other vendors (who she hadn't worked with before) on how professional and great she was to work with, and how her cake was one of the best they had ever had!
