Get ready for a delicious fall wedding season with these sweet treets
Calling all Chicago brides! Have you picked your wedding’s sweet treats yet? From cupcakes to cookies, and of course, the cake, there are a lot of desserts to decide on when it comes to your wedding. And with fall weddings coming up quickly, those big decisions are now being made on the daily by brides and grooms in the Windy City. Whether you want to go the traditional tiered cake route or prefer something snackable for late-night nibbles, these Chicago bakeries are your best bets…
Vanille Patisserie {various locations}: If you want a taste of Parisian decadence, these Chicago patisseries are completely staffed with a team of classically trained pastry chefs who focus on French specialties. They are great to turn to for cakes, but also for macarons and other bite-sized delicacies to serve at a bridal shower or to put in hotel welcome bags.
Alliance Bakery {1736 West Division Street, Chicago; 773.278.0366}: Couples that want a non-traditional cake will find their perfect match here at Alliance. From exotic floral designs to marbled frosting to cakes covered in a Field Museum-approved replica of the famous dinosaur Sue, they can make any cake dream come true!
Bittersweet Pastry Shop & Cafe {1114 West Belmont Avenue, Chicago; 773.929.1100}: Cakes, cookies, pies…oh my! No matter what your sweet tooth desires, Bittersweet has something for you. Plus, aside from desserts, they also offer cafe catering if you’re hosting a post-wedding brunch the next morning or want to feed your bridal party something special before the wedding itself.
West Town Bakery {various locations}: We have two words for you: cake balls! West Town’s whole catering menu is wonderful, but the cake balls are not to miss (especially the Red Velvet and French Toast)! They also have cakes, cupcakes, dessert bars, and more…so check those out as well.
Floriole Cafe & Bakery {1220 West Webster Avenue, Chicago; 773.883.1313}: If you’re more about bite-sized desserts, Floriole has everything from Canelé de Bordeaux and Peanut Butter & Jelly Cookies to Pot de Creme and Sea Salt Caramels by the dozen. They can also provide custom cakes, too!
The Goddess & Grocer {various locations}: You’ve seen the rainbow cakes and cupcakes all over Instagram. Now it’s time to make one of them yours! Work with Goddess’ team to create Custom Desserts and Celebration Cakes that everyone will love. We also recommend their cookies and tarts for a morning-after treat!
