Wedding Cakes
What are some really good bakeries that do wedding cakes in Chicago and Chicagoland?
I am currently living near Elgin and I'm getting married in a year. What are some good places to go and talk about a wedding cake? I would like to have a cheesecake for the wedding cake, but I need a really elegant and colorful cake. Could someone give me a good caterer around the area (maybe even a few) so that my fiance and I could go and have a meeting with them to talk about options. Thanks!
Schedule and appointment with EVERY bakery within 30 miles for "tasting" - - any GOOD bakery will let you come in and TASTE the cake flavors AND frosting. They SHOULD - they COST and arm and a leg....
I would insist on tasting and would never spend that much on anything I had no idea what it tasted like. When looking for catering, don't leave out delicatessens - quite a bit cheaper than full blown dinners.
