My son who lives here in Chicago took me here today for me to try the cinnamon roll. The only complaint was little dry and could use little more cinnamon but over all great flavor cinnamon roll. I would go back and try other desserts The peanut butter torte was the best I have ever eaten. I never had a torte the has peanut butter flavor that stands out. They knock this out of the park. I give this a 5 star one of my go to places for this desert
We worked with Kerrie to design our wedding cake and it turned out amazing! They executed our design perfectly, it turned out so gorgeous! We opted for two different flavor combos - banana cake with milk chocolate mousse and chocolate ganache, and then the pinkberry cake with lemon sabayon and strawberry preserves. They were both INCREDIBLE! I can’t wait to order mini cakes for our first anniversary (and maybe every anniversary).
Dry and dense cakes. We decided to do a wedding cake tasting because they have some pretty unique flavors for the cake as well as fillings. The tasting box...
The only thing I had an issue with my cake order for my sisters baby shower was that I asked for it to say “Oh Baby!” And they managed to mess that up and put “OL Baby”. I was upset and we decided to pick the flowers off the cake to cover the L. My sister was fine with it I’m just disappointed at this place service. I haven’t been back to purchase anything since then. The cake was delicious. I also bought some animal forest cake decorations
Bittersweet provided the cake for our wedding and they were fantastic. It was really easy to order a cake kit and taste the different combinations. The communication for ordering was a little slow (but not detrimentally so) because we had to use their online chat system. The cake was beautiful! They were able to design it how I wanted and hand make gorgeous details that I didn't know was possible. Most importantly, the cake was absolutely delicious. We were really picky because we love desserts and bake a lot. The cake wasn't dry or too sweet, it was a great balance and was the best we tried in the city. We also did a groom's that was easy to order and a fun addition to our dessert spread.
