Molly's Cupcakes 

5.0

  • Starts at $3
  • Serves River 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!

So happy we decided to get our cake from Mollys cupcakes. We had our wedding in Chicago but live in NYC so the fact that Mollys had bakeries in both cities was a huge plus! They provided a free cake tasting of 6 different flavors, was very easy to work with and was priced very well compared to others I looked at. Their cupcakes/ cakes were DELICIOUS! Would highly recommend.

Milk Bar is a sweet (and occasionally savory) shop that’s been turning familiar treats upside down and on their heads, shaking up the dessert scene since 2008. Bon Appetit magazine called us “one of the most exciting bakeries in the country.” But you can literally just call us Milk Bar. We’re not big on feeding the hype beast. But we’re super into feeding our flavorful treats to those who crave the unexpected.

Ordering our wedding cake and desserts with Milk Bar was so quick and easy. I placed my order a few weeks prior and everything arrived two days before. They gave me clear instructions on storing and thawing everything and it was all perfect on the day of. Having such a wide variety of desserts ensured everyone got something they liked and it was one of the most complemented things at our wedding.

Delish created an amazing wedding cake for us! We just wanted a small cake to cut for the tradition, but I was so delicious!! Trying the cake and frosting flavors was so fun, and we ended up picking fun flavors we originally wouldn’t have gone with if we didn’t do a tasting. The cake was adorable and just what we wanted!

Nadiya's Cupcakes

  • Offer

Nadiya’s Cupcakes is a small business wedding cake bakery with an organic cake design style and a European-inspired cake flavor menu. Your wedding details are the most important ingredients in achieving your ultimate wedding cake vision, and you are part of every step to personalize it. Our cakes come tall and our specialty is buttercream; we do not use fondant. We love using fresh fruit and high quality raw ingredients to produce balanced flavors that have just the right amount of sweetness while retaining their natural, key-note taste; you and your family won't feel guilty going for a second slice, we promise.

Nadiya created the most magical Harry Potter inspired wedding cake we could have dreamed of. From our first tasting to the final reveal, the entire experience felt thoughtful, creative and enchanting. She took every idea we shared and turned it into something far more beautiful than we imagined. The cake itself was pure magic. The hand painted Forbidden Forest, the white stag Patronus, the elegant gold detailing, the “Always” inscription and the Golden Snitch on top all came together so perfectly. It truly felt like a piece of the wizarding world brought to life in the most elegant way. On top of being stunning, the cake was completely gluten free for my allergy and still tasted absolutely incredible. Our guests were amazed that something so beautiful could also taste so good. People are still talking about it. Seeing the cake on our wedding day was a moment I will never forget. Nadiya’s talent, care and attention to detail made the entire experience unforgettable. We are so grateful for the magic she created and for giving us a cake that was meaningful, delicious and everything we hoped for. Thank you, Nadiya, for bringing our vision to life so perfectly.

Welcome to my page! My name is Ethalle, and I always loved to watch baking and cooking competitions. There was always something incredible about seeing how much technical skills, ingenuity, and creativity it takes to create something so beautiful and delicious. It's my absolute pleasure to design your wedding cake and desserts to make your dreams a reality!

Ethalle's Cakes and Bakes was the absolute sweetest to work with for my wedding. I gave her my wedding mood board and she made sure all the cakes and bakes she created matched the theme perfectly! I was especially excited about the rice crispies and cake pops, but by the time I had a moment to grab some, they were all gone! Everyone kept raving about how delicious they were, and Ethalle even gave me a rice crispy treat afterwards (with my wedding colors!) so that I didn't miss out. Tasty custom sweets at a great value - I highly recommend Ethalle's Cakes and Bakes!
