LOVEEEEED my cake!!!!
It was gorgeous and looked EXACTLY like the picture i showed them. Not only did the cake look amazing, but it tasted BEYOND amazing as well!! My MOH has been in and attended what seems like a 100 weddings and even she was super impressed with how delicious our cake was.
The cake was so delicious that my family had a replica tier waiting for my husband and I when we returned for our honeymoon (since we only got a bite or so the night of!)
I can't say enough amazing things about my cake-- look no further, Central Continental should be your first and last stop for all your cake/bakery needs.LOVEEEEED my cake!!!!

The cake was exactly what I wanted! They did a nice job with the cake sampling too. We got to choose either mini cups or small cakes. We did the small cakes and it was a great dessert for later.The cake was exactly what I wanted! They did a nice job with the cake sampling too. We got to choose either mini cups or small cakes.

Beautiful designs
I loved my cake!! I wanted a very specific design for the cake and they were great to work with and very communicative. They designed the cake perfectly to the inspiration photos I gave them and tied the bow so nicely. It was amazing! Cake came with our venue package and the chocolate and raspberry flavor was delicious!I loved my cake!!

Delicious Cake!!
We absolutely loved our wedding cake and so did our guests! We received many compliments during and after our wedding. Our cake was fresh, moist, and full of flavor. Jeanie was very attentive to what we wanted and responsive to all my questions and emails. Our cake was so good, we couldn't save our top tier until our 1 year anniversary and I look forward to asking if a mini replica can be made next year.We absolutely loved our wedding cake and so did our guests!

Perfect Cake!
My wedding cake looked just like the picture I sent them - they did amazing! They also were able to work with my gluten free guests and delivered! I got so many compliments on the flourless chocolate cake (even from some non-gluten free guests)! My cake was also wonderfully delicious!My wedding cake looked just like the picture I sent them - they did amazing! They also were able to work with my gluten free guests and delivered!

Delicious Cake
Katie at the bakery was so helpful and a delight to work with. I did not have an exact style picked out and was provided with lost of options and design ideas to choose from. Their cake was so light and flavorful that seconds were needed! I would recommend them to anyone in need of a cake.Katie at the bakery was so helpful and a delight to work with.

Best Wedding Cake Ever!!!
One of the best parts of the wedding planning process was cake tasting! After trying 4 other bakeries, we tried Central Continental. Within the very first bite, we were sold. They had great ideas on how to cut costs including making a small show cake for the wedding and making sheet cakes for the kitchen to cut up for our guests. The price was great and the sales woman that helped us was fantastic too. The cake was to die for!!! We chose 2 different flavors- half yellow/half chocolate with raspberry and banana cake with fudge (by far our favorite!!!!). Our guests continue to rave about the delicious cakes! Central Continental is now our favorite bakery by far! We could never get a cake from another bakery ever!One of the best parts of the wedding planning process was cake tasting!

Our wedding cake came with the wedding package at the Concorde. We had such a fun and tasty cake tasting experience. We had no idea what type of cake we wanted, but between tasting and looking at books at the bakery, we chose our cake. We thought we would be limited in our selection since it was part of a package, but we were not! Our cake was so beautiful and exceeded our expectations. It was so delicious! Would definitely recommend!Our wedding cake came with the wedding package at the Concorde. We had such a fun and tasty cake tasting experience.

We discovered this bakery through our venue at Concorde Banquets. We worked with Katie Collins and she was super helpful and accomodating and the cake was delicious!

I can not express how happy I am with the way my wedding cake turned out! We had 4 tiers all different flavors (including cheesecake)!! I have used this bakery in the past for a custom birthday cake and custom cupcakes. I have literally shown them a photo on my phone and they have been able to exceed my expectations every time! I would recommend this bakery to everyone! They were super helpful with any questions answering my calls and emails very quickly. We used Chandlers in Schaumburg as our reception venue and they network with this bakery so the cake cost was wrapped up into our venue cost.I can not express how happy I am with the way my wedding cake turned out!

Katie was so helpful in designing our wedding cake. We mixed the designs from three different cakes and she listened to each detail that we wanted. It was so easy to make an appointment with her and to order the sample cakes. The cakes were delicious and it was difficult to pick which flavors we wanted. The cake looked beautiful at our wedding reception and our guests loved the taste of the cake.Katie was so helpful in designing our wedding cake.
