About

cake sweet food chicago, formerly take the cake, is a small Chicago bakeshop owned by Mary Winslow specializing in wedding cakes and favors. We believe that each and every wedding cake should be a reflection of the unique qualities of the couple. We enjoy creating cakes that are personalized and stand the test of time, whether they are inspired by a song, architectural features of a favorite place, or the thoughts and dreams of couple themselves.

Most delicious, artistic cake!

Jo-Anne made our beautiful wedding cake which not only tasted amazing and included two different flavor combinations (lemon for one slice, salted caramel for another), she incorporated architectural elements of our venue and included trim from my mom's wedding veil (which I also wore)! Absolutely incredibly artistry and experience. Would highly recommend using Cake Chicago for your wedding!

The BEST Cake I've Ever Had

Jo-Anne was recommended to us by our wedding planner, and she is fantastic! She is an amazing baker (who also helped formulate the famous Portillo's Chocolate Cake IYKYK), and a great person. Jo-Anne made the at home tasting process so much fun for us with our little goodie bag kit - so much so that we had trouble actually choosing! We also purchased her signature Chubby Wubbies as favors for our guests, which were a huge hit. Highly recommend working with Jo-Ann for all of your cake needs!

Unique & Special!

Jo-Anne blew it out of the park with our cake! We felt so loved, heard and well taken care of by her and her team! She is extremely accommodating for allergies (esp. gluten free) and the flavors/textures of her cakes are absolutely incredible! They make everything in house and the care and consideration that goes into each cake is truly off the charts. The most special thing is that for your one year anniversary they will make you a fresh anniversary cake - no more freezer burnt, year old cake to celebrate one year of marriage! So special!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

What can I say? Mary Winslow is the bomb. I am a cake snob and I only recommend Take the Cake to my brides. SHe has been on my referral list for YEARS! those chubby wubby's are just too good! I love this business, you will NOT be disappointed if you use Mary at Take the Cake!
