About

Fleckenstein's Bakery is well known in the south Chicagoland Area for creating the finest wedding cakes available thanks to the hard work of our devoted team of Bob, Joan, Ray, and Ross Fleckenstein. They insist that a wedding cake is not created more than 24 hours in advance of the reception. They work long hours on the weekend to ensure the freshest cake for your wedding. Typically, while you are at your dress rehearsal, they haven't even started your cake yet. This isn't reason to fret, but to relax, knowing that we will take care of everything and have perfect timing with our delivery. The family team pays every attention to detail, which starts with the baking of the delicious cake layers. Fleckenstein's Bakery engineers and assembles those layers from the bottom up to create a cake that is structurally sound and stands the test of time (unless a tipsy guest falls into the table!). They will beautifully ice your cake to a smooth as glass finish. Finally, your cake is decorated with the utmost precision and patience. After the cake is completed at the bakery, your cake is carefully driven to the hall and set up by Ray or Ross. Bob, Joan, Ray, and Ross feel that creating your wedding cake is the most important job they do. It is because they feel this way that they leave nothing to chance and personally do all the work on your cake. After all, their reputation is at stake.

Delicious desserts!

Using Fleckenstein’s was the most stress free part of our wedding. We did not want a cake and went with a dessert table instead. We went in and talked with them and they gave us all of their options. We ordered more than enough for our 220 guests and that was it. They took care of delivering and all of the desserts were absolutely amazing.
