I absolutely loved my wedding cakes! I saw Amy at a bridal show and out of all the cakes I saw and tasted, hers drew me in immediately. The cake on display was so me. We made an appointment for taste testing--everything was wonderful! We tweaked the cake we saw a bit and we added a groom's cake that looked like a mummy (we had a Halloween wedding). Everything was so tasty and beautiful and we had so many wonderful compliments from our guests! I am very happy that we chose Amy to help make our day so special!

The cake was beautiful. The only issue I had was that they pushed hard for fondont which looks great but had to be peeled off to make the cake edible. The vanilla layer with cream cheese frosting was a bit bland but the chocalte cake with rasperry filling was out of this world. Would definately recommend them....

Amy was a pleasure to work with. She took our dream wedding cake and made it a reality. The cake looked amazing, and more importantly, it was delicious! The price was also good for the quality of the cake. She even made the top tier gluten-free for me! It was so great to be able to eat my own wedding cake.

We chose Amy to make our cake because her cakes were both unique and affordable compared to other bakeries. She was very flexible in terms of layer fillings and design. On the day of the wedding, we were blown away by how beautiful the cake was, and everyone complimented us on how delicious it was as well!!

We wanted it all for our wedding cake – it needed to look amazing but taste fantastic too. Amy Beck completely delivered! We were blown away when we tasted her cake and fillings and butter cream. AMAZING!
We had 3 different flavors each one was wonderful –
Top and second tier: vanilla buttercake with raspberry
buttercream
Third tier: Coconut cake with key lime pie buttercream
Bottom tier: Chocolate bourbon cake with hazelnut
Buttercream
We discussed designs with her and she was very helpful with what would look good. She took some of the designs that were a part of our day and incorporated into the cake.
I LOVED that it was square, but also the layers were varying heights! BEAUTIFUL AND YUMMY!
I have posted photos in my profile here as well.
Her cakes are not cheap, but we found it was worth it!

There is no way to even come close to describing how absolutely wonderful Amy Beck of Amy Beck Cake Design is. The first time we met with Amy we absolutely loved her. We had our parents with us in addition to our wedding planner and Amy took the time to address each individual person's concerns and ideas. She was so patient with us and had such wonderful ideas. We felt so comfortable with her. Our cake was absolutely breathtaking. We asked Amy to incorporate design from my wedding dress as well as our own personal motif that we had designed into the cake, and she could not have done this better. We had a 5 tier cake, with each tier a different flavor combination, and Amy incorporated cascadng stephanotis flowers in different shades of teal blue (our color). She also made an AMAZING groom's cake in the shape of Southpaw (the Chicago White Sox mascot) for my husband and he could not have been more thrilled. In addition to the breathtaking design of our cake, the cake was absolutely delicious. No one stopped talking about it for weeks after the wedding. We love Amy Beck Cake Design and plan on coming to her for all of our future events. We strongly recommend her.

Oh my lord is this woman talented!!! She took my vision and executed it PERFECTLY. I should also point out that she was so pregnant she was ready to burst, but she still managed to take care of my cake (and do an AMAZING job with it) and get it delivered with plenty of time to spare. And the cake was delicious. Seriously. We had three tiers, and the chocolate bourbon/peanut butter tier was devoured entirely. I'm bummed that there were not leftovers of the chocolate, but at least we get the other two flavors. Yum! And again, it just looked wonderful. People were talking about it all night.

Amy designed our wedding cake. We went through photos together, showed her what we liked, then she made sketches incorporating details and our own requests for design. It was the most gorgeous cake, and it turned out so much better than I even hoped it would. The guests made so many positive comments about how creative, beautiful and delicious this cake was, and even the photographer must have taken 20 photos of it. Amy was easy to work with, friendly, creative, and excellent at her job! The cake was delivered on time and she took care of the details. The cake was one of my favorite parts of the wedding - would recommend her to anyone!

Amy was great to work with- once we got in the door. When we arrived for our appointment, which had been confirmed twice, she had just sat down with another couple who claimed to have our appointment time. She wouldn't see us then, since she had already started with them, so we grabbed a drink and came back- she apologized and recognized the error, so no harm done. Her cakes are lovely, but we wanted a simple chocolate buttercream cake. She was unobtrusive and let us taste and talk in private. We found a design she had already done but that we loved- a combed buttercream cake topped with fresh flowers, and we decided that it was the one for us. We used butter cake with pistachio filling or hazelnut filling for the top tiers, and chocolate with strawberry for the bottom, all robed in a delish chocolate buttercream. Everyone loved it- tehre was barely any left at the end of the night. Beautiful, too. Thanks Amy!

Very nice but, cost-wise, a little high.

Outstanding work! Amy is a pleasure to work with. Her cakes taste wonderful (we did a vanilla cake with raspberry buttercream, then a layer of almond with almond buttercream), and they are truly breathtaking. She designed our cake from scratch based on various pictures that I showed her...it was perfect. The colors were spot on, and the artwork was flawless. And, as already said, the cake was delicious, too. In fact, it was so good we weren't able to save our top tier for our first anniversary...we ate it the night after our Sunday morning wedding! I'm already planning on having Amy make a scaled-down version for our 1st anniversary.
You can't go wrong with this vendor - highly recommended!

Six weeks before the wedding, we had our terrible tasting at Rolf's. My husband and I decided to suck it up and pay for a cake even though a cake was complimentary with Rolf's.
We tasted at Alliance Bakery, Cake Girls, and Amy Beck. Amy blew us away. Cake Girls was just as tasty as Amy's, but Amy was willing to really work with us on a totally unique design. She took our two ideas and ran with them. Even my husband was super impressed when we received back the drawings.
She came in at the last moment and saved the day. The only minor item is that she was going to thrown in a cake stand for us but forgot it. However, I didn't even notice until the following week when I got the pictures back and realized that there wasn't a cake stand. I would highly recommend.

Amy is not only delightful to work with, her cakes are amazing!! We met her at a wedding show a year before our wedding, but fell in love with her and her designs and immediately scheduled an appointment and booked her just as quickly. We really enjoyed working with her and were beyond thrilled when our wedding cake was delivered...it was beautiful! I recommend Amy to anyone getting married or looking for a cake for any occasion. She's definitely worth every penny!!
