Lovin Oven Cakery 
Rating: 5.0 (7 reviews)
  • Serves Lake Forest, IL

Since 1930, our family has been baking quality products for dessert lovers like you. Our story begins with my father-in-law, John Slove, being hired to work as an apprentice in a Chicago bakery. While there he learned everything there is to know about baking. Then, in 1946, he and my mother-in-law, Grace, opened their own bakery on Diversey Avenue in Chicago – Slove Bakery. Their goal was to produce great quality desserts and provide excellent customer service: he did the baking; she the handshaking. Through hard work and determination, they grew the business and the bakery’s reputation as one of the finest in the Chicagoland area.

Lovin Oven Cakery was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding. From the beginning, they were incredibly responsive and organized in their communication, making selecting and customizing our cake a breeze. The final product was a true work of art—a stunning four-tiered, multi-flavored masterpiece that was easy on the eyes and yummy for our tummies! Their creativity and attention to detail truly shone through, and we received so many compliments from our guests on how amazing the cake tasted. All of this coupled with a complimentary recreation of the top tier of your wedding cake on your first anniversary makes Lovin Oven THE BEST.

I’m Irina, the owner and creator behind CandyBliss. My love for dessert tables began while planning my son’s big celebration. As I searched for the perfect sweets and displays, I realized I had a true passion for creating beautifully styled dessert tables filled with unique candies and delicious chocolate treats. What started as a special moment for my family quickly turned into a creative journey. I found joy in selecting color-themed candies and designing displays that bring excitement and happiness to every event. Every CandyBliss table is thoughtfully designed, customized with care, and create that “wow” factor!

CandyBliss Dessert Tables did an amazing job with our football party and candy table. From the beginning, their communication was beautiful - they perfectly matched all the candy and treats to our school colors, which made the table look so vibrant and cohesive. Irina, the owner, really went above and beyond to bring our football-themed party to life. She used creative details like footballs and a helmet even had the green turf to represent the football field and make the dessert table feel like an extension of the overall decor. The quality of their work and value was exceptional - everything looked gorgeous and our guests raved about how delicious and fun the candy and desserts were. We were thrilled with CandyBliss and would highly recommend them to any couple looking for an unforgettable party dessert experience.

as stephanie izard's newest concept, sugargoat is your go-to bakery and special occasion sweets shop, and is a place where our team carries out goatland's tradition of showcasing the love of fun flavor combinations. enjoy your fondest food memories turned into tasty dessert experiences and continue to make more memories enjoying sweets with friends and family!

My husband and I loved working with sugargoat for our wedding. As someone who doesn’t love cake but wanted the traditional experience of a cake cutting - I reached out to sugargoat to coordinate a tasting as I was intrigued by their adventurous flavors. We were able to set up a tasting quickly - the tasting consisted of their traditional flavors and a custom flavor that my husband and I came up with on our own - Peanut Butter, Jelly, Potato Chip. The bakery turned our flavor into the most delicious cupcake, so of course we included it as one of the layers in our wedding cake. I emailed inspiration photos of how I wanted our cake to look, and the team at sugargoat exceeded our expectations. Everyone was kind, and we loved communicating with Brennan. The team at sugargoat seemed genuinely excited about our wedding and our cake, it was nice to feel a personal connection with them vs. feeling like a number to them. Sadly on our wedding day, we did not have a piece of cake saved for her to eat, so I reached out to Brennan and they were able to make us a small cake of our custom flavor which we could eat on our Anniversary. 10/10

Molly's Cupcakes 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
  • Starts at $3
  • Serves Lake Forest, IL

Welcome to Molly's Cupcakes! Ms. Molly was my third-grade teacher. Whenever my classmates or I had a birthday, she would bake us cupcakes. She had her special recipe for chocolate and vanilla cupcakes. In honor of Molly and as a way to help our kids and community, a portion of our profits is donated directly to schools in our community. Every time you eat a cupcake or sip a latte, you help our kids. So eat up!

We had a simple vision in mind for our wedding cake. We wanted a small, two-tier cake that we loved the taste of and was mainly for cutting and to share with immediate family. Molly’s Cupcakes was the best option we found and could not have been happier with the decision to work with them for our wedding. We communicated with Yaritza over email and then had our in-person tasting with her as well. It was such an easy, fun, and stress free experience! Yaritza made the booking and payment process so streamlined. Our venue required delivery, which seemed to go without a hiccup! We really enjoyed the cake, and our only complaint is that we didn’t get to enjoy more of it since we were caught on the dance floor! Thanks so much for being a part of our day!

Awarded Best of Zola
We met Franco and his cannoli cart at a farmer's market and were immediately impressed with the quality of his products--which kept us coming back week after week--and the friendliness of his whole team. Each cannoli is handmade with care. We loved Franco and the cannolis so much that we replaced a traditional wedding cake with his mobile cannoli cart and couldn't have been happier with the way it added to our wedding. The guests couldn't get enough, and using two cannolis for our "cake cutting" was unforgettable. Reasonably priced, reliable, delicious, all served with a smile and Italian charm. Don't walk, run to get yours!
