One of my requested questions is, what is your favorite place for a birthday cake in the suburbs? Here are the sweetest suburban spots for tasty treats…
The Grand | Winnetka & Glencoe
The Grand is always able to accommodate my requests. Caroline still talks about the princess cake they made for her last birthday. Campbell most recently had a school bus cake. They can make custom cupcakes & cookies too!
Deerfields Bakery | Deerfield
This bakery will always hold a special place in my heart because our wedding cake is from here. Deerfields is a NS baking institution and can make a wide variety of fun and delicious baked goodies!
Punky Cakes | Northbrook
I love checking Punky Cakes IG page to see what kind of unique birthday cakes they’ve created!
Three Tarts | Northfield
All of their cake flavors and buttercream frosting are divine!
Bent Fork Bakery | Highwood
Another NS institution. I love going to Bent Fork’s kitschy bakery and everything smells just as good as it tastes!
Mariano’s | Northfield, Glenview & Northbrook
One of my girlfriends always uses Mariano’s cupcakes to form the age of the child’s birthday which makes for an adorable display! Plus, cupcakes are always easier to distribute to kids. Their cakes are always a hit too!
Sweets by Michelle | Deerfield
Adorable custom cakes & cookies baked by a Deerfield mom. I love following Michelle’s IG page for sweets inspiration.
Custom Confections Chicago | Glenview
These local, personalized cookies are just as cute as they are delicious.
Foodstuffs | Glencoe
An array of cake flavors & fillings for a delectable cake creation!
Sari’s Sweets | Deerfield
Another local baker who makes detailed treats for all occasions.
Buck Russell’s | Wilmette
Every treat I’ve tasted from Buck Russell’s has been delicious! Their Choco-Lots cake is divine, but truly everything there is.
Peace Love & Cookies | Glencoe
A Glencoe mom who bakes cakes, cookies & bars!
Lawrence Deans | Wilmette
Tasty treats for any occasion – I also love their cookie decorating kits.
P.S. my favorite bakery in the city is Sweet Mandy B’s! Look out for suburban Sweet Mandy B’s deliveries on Dwell Social.
