What can we say expect "you're the best". Our cake was absolutely delicious and everything we expected and probably more. Their buttercream is the best. We ordered the "Danielle" in a white cake with buttercream icing and chocolate buttercream filling. We enjoyed our cake so much that we took half of it with us on our honeymoon - why wait for our 1st Anniversary. Continental is the best and always has been.

I had a large five layer red velvet cake that matched what I wanted EXACTLY. Not only did it taste amazing, but they were professional as well. Love it!

One of the reasons that I chose my banquet hall was that they contracted thru Central Continental for the cake. We had a square, three tier cake of the "Champagne" design. I liked the uniqueness of the cake. We did chocolate cake with raspberry filling. It was excellent. We have frozen the top, but intent to go back and get a fresh cake if it's not good in a year. (Note that I have them 5 stars in all categories as to not bias the rating, but I did not deal with the bakery directly, so i am only really rating the taste, appearance, and design of the cake.

This bakery was included with our reception venue (Makray Memorial Golf Club) & we ordered several sample cakes & were disappointed with how quickly they dried out. Skeptical, we upgraded the cake in hopes of having a more moist result (strawberry filling instead of bavarian cream). The actual wedding cake was STUNNING to look at & absolutely DELICIOUS to eat. Not dry at all, very light & wonderful to eat. We chose white & chocolate with strawberry filling & everyone really enjoyed it. I can't compliment them enough on the beauty of the cake - it was breathtaking.

AMAZING!
I did not work personally with Central Continental because our venue contract provided the cake from this vendor. I must say it was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!
I picked out the "FOUNTAIN BLUE SPECIAL" and I just loved the simplicity of it with a few petals around it.
Thank you for being so...

Our cake turned out amazing! The place we got married worked one on one to make our special cake! It had resembled a bubbly champagne cake! The flavors were awesome and it wasn't to sweet it was perfect! We have been going here for years and when I found out we got to use them I was at a relief! You know you will Always get good quality!

The preparation of my wedding day went smooth sailing until I had to deal with my Wedding Cake. Of all the headaches that I prepared myself for this one threw me. I was forced to get my cake at Central Continental as it was part of the venue and I had to go thru MaryAnne. If you are looking for a basic wedding cake off their menu, you should have no problem. However, anything out of the ordinary they really are not flexible. I had to turn them over to my husband. It was a sour cream cake with raspberry and cream cheese filling with non dairy topping. Sound complicating????
The end result, I did get what I wanted at double the price. My guests said it was delicious and the best wedding cake they ever tasted. I let my florist do the decorating and it was gorgeous. For the best day of your life if you want smooth sailing......go elsewhere for your wedding cake.....

My husband and I had our wedding at the Fountain Blue in Des Plaines and they work with Central Continental Bakery for the wedding cakes. Our cake was amazing, and tasted delicious! They did an amazing job! Thank you for everything!

The cake was absolutely delicious! I wish we would have had time to eat more of it during our reception! It came out just beautifully; we received many compliments on the design we chose. We also called to add challah bread to our order and they were really great in helping to ensure we would have enough for everyone. Thanks for everything!

We used this vendor for our wedding cake because it was part of our reception package. Even though we could not pick who made our cake, I would highly recommend them now to any bride. The cake was beautiful. We picked one in their catalogue and made some changes to the design to make it our own. They made the changes no problem and it was perfect. The cake itself was delicious! We got yellow cake with a raspberry cream filling, we loved it and so did our guests.

We only worked with them through our banquet hall (Concorde Banquets) but we were very impressed at how the cake looked AND tasted! Excellent!

Our venue outsourced the wedding cake to Central Continental Bakery. Because our venue did not provide taste testing for the cake we called up the bakery and they gladly made samples, of our choice, for us to come in and test. We worked with Mary at the bakery and she was VERY flexible with us. We had an idea of what we wanted and she made it happen. Our cake was absolutely delicous. (Chocolate cake - fudge - white cake - covered in non-dairy whipped cream!)

I got my cake through my reception area. We went to the store and chose the cake from a picture book. I felt that the cake that was at my wedding was a little messy...the scrolling and icing was not even and slightly different from the book.
However, in the taste department, our cake was awesome. We had white cake with mocha filling and chocolate cake with raspberry bavarian cream filling...got lots of compliments on the cake. If you pick a simple design, then the cake should turn out great.

Used this bakery for my wedding at White Pines. Very nice looking cake. When you go for a tasting, you may find yourself limited by the flavors and designs (several elements come at an extra cost). For a classic, relatively simple cake (marble/chocolate and raspberry filling) they did just fine.
