Designer Desserts Bakery

The selection of cupcakes and wedding cake were wonderful. For my daughters wedding, I received many compliments regarding how beautiful the cake and cupcakes were...and they tasted just as good. By the time the reception started, Designer Desserts had the cake and cupcakes set up in a beautiful display. Only one thing would have made it perfect...if they had left boxes for the leftover cupcakes. They did a stupendous job!

Designer Desserts Bakery was great! I had a two tier cake and two hundred cupcakes. I loved being able to pick exactly how I wanted each flavor to look! They were very friendly a little pricey but I felt they were worth it. All of my guests loved the cupcakes! They were delicious. The only complaint I had was that they left no boxes at my reception hall to take the cake and cupcakes that were leftover home. However, we definitely found a way to get these delightfully tasting cupcakes home! I would recommend Designer Desserts Bakery.

Adam at Designer Desserts turned our cake fiasco into a highlight of our wedding. From the moment my ladyfriend and I sat down with him, he treated us like movie stars! Words do not do his cake justice. I wish I could post pictures. Look up Designer Desserts on Facebook and find our Zombie Wedding Cake. You'll love it. Thanks Adam.

Designer Desserts did a beautiful job on our wedding cake. It was just what we asked for and tasted wonderful! We received so many compliments! (The -.5 was for one piece tasting a little over-cooked. Everything else was wonderful!) They were very easy to work with, and I definitely recommend them for your special day!

I ordered a Gluten Free Wedding cake and twelve Wedding cupcakes that were not gluten free. I was told that the cupcakes were quite delicious, they certainly were beautiful. The GF wedding cake had a decent flavor, but was very dry, seemed overdone. I would have liked to have a more tender cake. It was pretty and they were very knowledgeable about what decorations could or could not be used to keep the cake gluten free. I did appreciate that.

so if you have ever been here you know the cup cakes are to die for! for my wedding i i got my groom his own cake they messed up the filling and by the end of the night the cake was rock hard when i called later i was told oh that happens... my mother in law called and got 25$ back on a cake i paid 300+$ for. My wedding cake was amazing i just feel ripped off on what happened to my grooms cake and the kicker is instead of giving me the money back they gave it to my mother in law.... I paid for the cake not her... why would they give someone else my money?

i must say i agree with everyone about this bakery except the last person to leave a review. what is your issue? i have been frequenting this bakery since it opened back in 2004 and have always left satisfied. the people there treat you like family and sometimes i wish they were my own. but when you look at the quality of work for the very reasonable prices, i would almost say they undercharge for the high quality they produce, you cannot be anything but astonished. i challenge anyone to go into this bakery and not have a good time and while you are there take a look at the beautiful artistry they create with cake. its sad sometimes when people have nothing else to do but complain about money, its your wedding day, if you are going to splurge, this should be it, and i'm sure no one at that wedding had a bad thing to say about that cake or the cupcakes you were so overcharged for. Anyway enough ranting now i sound like a bridezilla, i highly recommend this bakery, it is the best in northwest indiana, if not in the entire chicagoland area!!!!! way to go guys and keep up the great work!!!

The tasting went well and the guy that helped design the cupcakes and the wedding cake was very helpful; however, everything after that, not so much. First off, we spent around $900 on our wedding cake and 200+ cupcakes, yet when I called to get THREE sample cucpcakes A) to see what the decorating looked like, and B) how big they would ultimately be so I could build cupcake stands to fit them, I would told I couldn't get any for free but would have to purchase them. For $900 worth of cupcakes, I couldn't get 3 sample ones? That was rediculous. Then I called to revise the number of cupcakes I needed once I had my final head count. I asked what the revised total would be, assuming that if I am buying less I should pay for less. The told me to subtract roughly $70 from my bill when I was reducing the number by roughly 50. I worked the math backwards figuring they were charging me around $1.40 per jumbo cupcake ($70/50). However if they were only charging me roughly $1.40 per cupcake and I had only 210 cupcakes plus my wedding cake, I couldn't get the math to equal the roughly $900 for the overall bill. So I called the shop and explained what was going on in my head to the girl who answered the phone and just asked if she could get me an itemized bill. I told her I wasn't looking for something for free, but just wanted to make the math work. She went and spoke with the designer and relayed this message to me, "The designer said that he is not giving you anymore off your bill and if you want you cucpcakes for your wedding you need to pay the balance off now." All I wanted was an explanation and I got attitude. I don't even eat cake, so I couldn't even tell you if they were good. But with the hassle I had to put up with just trying to get my bill explained and the rudeness I was shown whenever I asked a question makes me HIGHLY NOT RECOMMENDED Designer Desserts to anyone!!! Too rude to be worth dealing with.

They did an AMAZING job with our wedding cake!! They were easy to work with and made the cake look exactly how I had described to them at our tasting. They also did cupcakes for our rehearsal dinner and decorated them so that they would coordinate with our wedding cake design. Their cakes are fabulous and I would recommend them to anyone in Northwest Indiana looking for a wedding cake.

The cake was gorgeous! We wanted something unconventional for our casual wedding and Designer Desserts delivered! I gave them a couple of details I wanted and they created a beautiful 3 tier, square cake with each tier turned a little to be more interesting to the eye.

I LOOOVED MY CAKE!! I only spent $370!! I had three individual tears, 6" 8" 10", and a 1/4 sheet cake. It was suppose to feed 100 people. We ended up taking our top layer home (of course!) and we still had almost and entire 1/4 left! We had banana cake with strawberry filling and we had chocolate with chocolate filling (sorta like a pudding) and they were all fantastic!! We left the next day for our honeymoon and my mom took it to her house and put it wrapped in the fridge. It is over a week old and still EXTREMELY moist and just delicious! They have great cup cakes there also!!! I loooove them! Highly recommend them and they remind me of Ace of Cakes from food network just a LOT cheaper!!

Unique and beautiful! I loved our wedding cake. We had many compliments on our flavors (pineapple w/ cream cream and whtie funfetti w/strawberry). They made it very easy picking out our cake their!

Beautiful cake. great value and great service. i ordered my cake the last minute and was 1 of 5 cakes being ordered that day but was still serviced and couldnt have been happier. will do all my cake business with them from now on. i highly reccomend them for your wedding cake

Adam did a great job and gave me just what I wanted. He and his staff were very accommodating and friendly. The cake was delicious and a shop stopper. We almost didn't want to cut into it because it was so beautiful.

Our wedding cake was BEAUTIFUL! I have an allergy to gluten, and this was the only bakery in town that could make a gluten-free wedding cake. It was absolutely fantastic! The cake was still moist, and the frosting was delicious. We left about 3 dozen roses for him to finish decorating the cake with when he arrived on our wedding day, and it looked fabulous. I was shocked!

We loved our wedding cake! I also purchashed my husband's groom's cake there which was Ohio Stated themed. The end result was a gorgeous wedding cake that matched our wedding colors and tasted amazing! We will recommend to all of our friends!

My husband's and my wedding cake from Designer Desserts was absolutely delicious! We ordered a small cake for the two of us to have a cake cutting moment, and the jumbo sized cupcakes for the rest of our guests. We really wanted to impress everyone and knew this was the way to go! People LOVED them! They were huge, way more than you'd get from a slice of wedding cake, and absolutely delicious. People were asking where we got them from, and commenting to us that they want to do it for their own wedding next year. The only thing I could complain about is that color of our small cake was a little bit off. That could just be because they couldn't get the icing color correct (I imagine it's kind of difficult). We wanted ivory and pink, but it was more of a peach color and pink. It still looked and tasted amazing though! I highly reccomend Designer Desserts for your wedding cake, as well as any other party cake you may need. You can't go wrong with them!

I highly reccomend this bakery. The cake they make is so good. My wedding was in Hickory Hills, IL and how good they are I went to Valpo, IN because I wanted to best looking/tasting cake I could find. And I would have to say everyone after the wedding kept asking me where the cake was from. Very good! My family and I use them for Birthdays/Showers/Any kind of Party and we have always been pleased.

LOVE this bakery! My wedding cake is the thing that my wedding guests remember the most and still talk about today. Not only was it beautiful and unique, but it was absolutely delicious. My husband and I even got a replica of our cake top made for our anniversary and it was just as good as we remembered. Now we go back to taste test everything else the bakery has to offer.
