About

Custom wedding cakes for Chicago couples who want something artful, personal, and unmistakably their own.

Nadiya's Cupcakes is a boutique wedding cake studio where every commission begins the same way: in conversation. With your vision, your day, and the details that only you would think to include.

Nadiya leads every project personally. From your first tasting consultation to the morning your cake arrives at the venue, you will never feel like a booking on a calendar. Couples frequently describe the tasting as one of their favorite moments of the entire planning process. By the end of the reception, their guests are still asking who made the cake.

We accept a limited number of weddings each year so that every couple receives our full creative attention, from first conversation to delivery day. This is a boutique experience and a considered investment in the one element of your wedding your guests will photograph, taste, and remember.

If you are envisioning a cake that feels like an extension of your love story, we would be honored to begin it with you.

Exquisite Desserts for Your Perfect Wedding Day

My husband and I are so happy that we found Nadiya’s Cupcakes in our search for a dessert vendor for our wedding. From our first cake tasting, to the actual wedding, Nadiya and her team were always so thoughtful, passionate, and communicative. They understood our “vision” for our desserts right off the bat, and I was confident that they were a perfect match for us. Our cake, cupcakes, and cake pops were a huge hit, so much so that our guests reached out afterwards just to see who we ordered from! We can’t recommend Nadiya’s Cupcakes enough for any event that you’re hosting! (The photos below are taken by My Whole Heart Collective)!

Stunning Wedding Cake

Our first meeting with Nadiya to discuss our vision for our wedding cake went very well. I knew right away that we wanted to pick her to make our wedding cake. The cake samples came in a beautiful box with the descriptions of the cake samples we picked out. They cake samples were so good, it was honestly really hard to pick a favorite as we were doing a two tier cake. Nadiya was very descriptive of how the process would go with design the cake and delivery. She made me feel comfortable that everything will go smoothly. We also added macaroons to the order for the guests that were staying the houses. The macaroons were so amazing. The next day my husband and I ate a few leftover boxes of the macaroons, it was a great way to start the morning after our wedding! Now the CAKE, holy cow. It blew me away, it was better than I ever could have envisioned it to be. It was the most gorgeous cake I have ever seen in my life. It tasted amazing too! Nadiya and her team did an amazing job and I can't thank them enough for creating my dream wedding cake. I highly recommend Nadiya's Cupcakes for any dessert you need!

Above and Beyond

Nadiya delivered above and beyond for our wedding and we could not have been more thrilled!
I’m sure this has been a repeating thread in these reviews, but our original wedding date was postponed due to COVID, and throughout the entire process Nadiya has been so pleasant and flexible to work with. As we went back and forth in count numbers for cupcakes as guests were RSVPing, figuring out gluten-free options and flavors, Nadiya’s communication, adaptability, and advice were impeccable.
On the day of the wedding, the star of the show was (of course!) the big cake. I had a vision idea, but letting a true cake artist take over and make it come to live completely blew us out of the water. The design was intricate, classy, elevated, and elegant, and was such a good fit for both the venue and us as a couple. The flavors were absolutely delicious, and the pairings worked out really well — definitely listen to Nadiya’s suggestions if you’re unsure where to start! The cupcakes matched the cake aesthetic and flavors, and were gorgeous.
Throughout the night, we received compliments from everyone about the desserts, and at the end of the evening all the cupcakes leftover from dinner were taken home by our guests.
We are delighted with Nadiya’s work and can not recommend her enough.

The best cake and baker you could ever ask for on your wedding day!

Nadiya is second to none the best you could possible go with for your big day. Not only did she have the most delicious flavors of any wedding cake we have ever had, but she truly is an artist. You can see from her work that she is gifted, but our 3 tier cake to feed 130 people was astonishing. We had edible flowers, fresh flowers, an amazing birch tree design, and everything about the cake was completely perfect. She is a small business owner and takes care of her couples and ensures she delivers exactly what they want. She cares about the ingredients and you won't get a plastic tasting cake. We customied different unique flavors (chocolate cake with a salted caramel filling, chocolate cake with a peanut butter frosting, and a vanilla cake with a fresh strawberry filling). Our guests were amazed at our cake, and yours will be too! Choose Nadiya's Cupcakes, she will be the best vendor you have that day!
