I loved working with Catie! She is the most genuine, sweetest person. She was very flexible and worked with our limited schedule. We tasted her cupcakes and fell in love! She has so many flavors to choose from, I loved that she does mini cupcakes. This was perfect because we could have several flavors to enjoy throughout the week. On the day of our wedding, she was on time, set up the cupcakes on the stands, used our cake topper and even made some mini cupcakes to match our cake flavor and used them to top some of the cupcakes with. Everything looked amazing and the cupcakes tasted even better. She is a master of her craft and helped figure out a way to transport mini cupcakes through Chicago O’Hare. I would recommend her to anyone getting married. She’s an entrepreneur first and second, but the product she delivers is fantastic! Thank you, Catie for your passion and talent. -Mike and Christine

I was so happy when I found out that my husband’s and my cakes would be made by the same people. It made the whole process a lot easier on us. We had a picture of what we wanted our cake to look like and it turned out perfect! Every time I came into the shop I saw something new and delicious! The price was perfect. I did not have to worry about anything. During the whole process they were always friendly, helpful, and had a smile on their face. When we walked in to tell them we were ready to move forward with our plans they were both happy for us. The day of our wedding came and our cakes were so beautiful. They both tasted amazing! I am not normally a big sweets person, but I finished the entire bottom layer of the cake by myself! I would recommend them to anyone that wants a cake that is not only looks great, but also tastes as good as it looks!

My husband and I LOVE cupcakes so having them as our wedding cake was a must. We had four different flavors and they were all delicious. We had so many people tell us how much they loved the cupcakes. We were able to have a very small top layer of cake that was white with flowers. We were able to do a different flavor for each of the four cupcake flavors we chose. The only downside to the cupcakes was that they were not able to put the cake topper on the top layer for us. We were also unable to have the cupcakes on a tier. However, it didn’t look like a traditional cake with tiers and it looked great! We were also very pleased with the taste of the cake. I was also able to get a grooms cake made with the Purdue logo that was delicious. Our guests also told us that they loved the cupcakes and the small cake that we had for cake cutting. We would definitely recommend the cupcakes and I will be looking for another reason to order more!

We had some of the best cupcakes and cake tasting experiences with these guys. They took the time to help us narrow down our choices and gave us a great variety of flavors to choose among. The cupcakes/cake are so delicious, and the experience of getting them from here is so fun. I can’t wait for our wedding cake, which was absolutely gorgeous. They also had a special area set up with miniature cakes so we could get a better feel for what the cake would look like. They also had a great variety of unique and artistic cake toppers that helped complete the look. If you’re looking for delicious cupcakes, these are the people to go to. They also have a very wide variety of other goodies in the same fun flavors as their cupcakes, so you can get a great little shop quilt that will make your house smell like sweet cupcakes after you’re done with it.
