Our fresh, custom, elegantly decorated ice cream wedding cakes are like no other dessert option in Chicago!

We’re happy to say they did not disappoint and guests at our wedding still talk about the ice cream cake we served as one of the highlights of the night. Thank you again Rachel and team!

They were beautiful—everyone loved them! I heard from reliable sources that they tasted delicious, too. Sadly, I did not have any of the cookies for myself. Hopefully next time!

Every time you eat a cupcake or sip a latte, you help our kids. So eat up!

We worked with Yaritza for arranging our wedding cake details and she was so amazing! The cake was a hit and so were the vegan cupcakes that we had for our vegan friends. Will definitely be thinking about this cake for years to come!!!

The Pink Cupcake 
  • Serves Winnetka, 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!

We had our wedding reception at a brewery and wanted some easy to eat sweet and salty snacks. These popcorn flavors were delicious, they sent us flavors to try before we decided. We chose 4 flavors and they shipped them right to our house. The popcorn buckets had our cute custom labels which they designed for us and looked PERFECT! We had tons of compliments on the popcorn. We ordered plenty and people were grabbing them to take home at the end of the night. A perfect snack after a few beers. Theu were very fast with the samples and the order too!

Molly’s Cupcakes 

4.7

  • Starts at $4
  • Serves Winnetka, IL

Molly’s Cupcakes opened in 2007 in the heart of Lincoln Park, Chicago. Within 2 years of being open, we won the Food Network Competition Cupcake Wars! This love of cupcakes started when the founder was just in third grade. Molly was his third grade teacher, and whenever there was a special occasion, she would make her special recipe cupcakes for her students. As John grew older, Molly’s care for her students never left his mind. He decided to open Molly’s Cupcakes in her memory. As our company has grown, so has our love for helping others create lasting memories.

My (now) husband and I are from Chicago and love Molly’s cupcakes. We got married in Michigan and struggled big time to find a baker in the town to do our cake, so decided we’d go with Molly’s because they’re one of our favorite dessert spots in the city. Everything ended up working out fine, and I would recommend them, but I would recommend asking plenty of questions and confirming everything clearly before booking and pick up as we ran into a few issues along the way. For example, they were unable to do seasonal flavors of cupcakes, but they didn’t tell us this clearly until about a month before our wedding (and well after we had booked). And while our emails stated we planned to pick up the order a day in advance of our event, the order form wasn’t as clear, so the bakers thought it was day of and there was a big misunderstanding at time of pick up… thankfully they were able to put everything together and it all worked out, and everything was delicious and we had loads of compliments - but it was a little extra stress to have to manage than anticipated.
