Eric S. says, "Donna and her son were fantastic! I hired them to bartend my wedding and couldn't be happier with their service. They went above and beyond my expectations! While guests were eating they would go table to table gathering any finished cups or plates. They were extremely friendly and I had many guests complimenting them to me. If I ever host a big party again I will definitely be contacting Donna again! Thank you so much for everything you really made our special day that much better!!" Read more

I love the part of my job when I see the customers and there family and friends enjoying the food and laughing and smiling having a great experience. I enjoy the work I do because for about 2 - 3 hours out of your day, whether it was chaotic, sad, or just long and tiresome, I get to cook for you and feed you and you get to escape your day for those 3 hours and relax over a great meal and a glass of wine...

Classically trained. More than 20 years restaurant experience. I have four little guys so I am looking to have a more predictable schedule. Double threat of pastry as well as savory. I believe the food has to look as good as it tastes and taste as good as it looks.

Your cake making services questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Fash.

How much do custom cakes cost?

A custom cake costs $70 to $400 on average, depending on which design, flavor, and size you choose. Larger, complex cakes with 3 or more tiers cost $200 to $800 or more. 

Custom cakes are an excellent way to make special memories during a birthday party, anniversary celebration, or other event.

Does Costco do custom cakes?

You can order a custom design on a cake from Costco, but ther choices are extremely limited. Depending on the location, the bakery may only be able to write a few words in frosting or put a simple buttercream image like balloons or a cactus.

However, the following locations have more options for custom designs:

  • Walmart 
  • Publix
  • HEB
  • Baskin Robbins
  • Sam's Club
  • Whole foods
  • Safeway
  • Albertson's
  • Tour Les Jours

How far in advance should I order a custom cake?

You should order a custom cake at least 1 to 4 weeks before your celebration. The exact timeline for ordering a custom cake will depend on how popular the bakery is, whether it's a busy season, and how much staff they have.

Can I return a custom cake?

No, you typically can't retuan a cake once they hand it over to you for food safety reasons. However, some bakeries will offer a partial or full refund if there's something wrong with the cake.

How do I choose a custom cake maker?

You can find a great cake maker by following these steps:

  • Compare prices from at least three local bakeries or stores.
  • Read reviews specifically for custom cake makers on Fash and Google.
  • Look at pictures of their cakes from other customers.
  • Make sure they're able to make the cake by the time you need it.
  • Get a detailed quote in writing.

What questions should I ask cake makers?

Asking these questions can help you find a high-quality cake maker:

  • How long have you been making or decorating cakes?
  • Can you make the cake I want by this date?
  • Is this price for naked cakes or frosted cakes?
  • How large of a cake would you recommend?
  • What type of frosting and fillings do you have?
  • Can you print edible pictures on the cake?
  • Do you have a minimum price or fee?
  • Can I see pictures of cakes you've done with a similar design?
  • Do you make smash cakes? How mcuh do those cost?
  • Do you make sheet cakes? How big are they?

Reviews for Chicago cake makers & decorators

Recent success stories from people in the Chicago area.
Franklin C.
Donna and her team are AMAZING! I first hired Donna for a family Christmas party a few years ago and was very impressed. I gave her a second job with a more significant amount of guests and she once again was amazing. Recently in June 2019 I hired Donna and her team to host a party of 150 guests. WOW did she and her team come through for us. What an amazing time my wife and I were able to have since Donna took care of literally everything. Drinks were amazing, service was amazing and attention to detail off the charts. She stayed well past her end time to ensure clean up was done to a professional standard. I 100% would recommend Donna as your personal hostess. You will not be disappointed!
