What's For Tea? is a locally owned home bakery in Chicago, Illinois, that offers an exquisite selection of baked goods, including custom cakes for weddings and other special events. The business name came from the tradition of English teatime and a passion to bring a comforting, delightful experience with every bite. Emily Kenyon, the company's founder, found a love for baking, having grown up in an ingredient household and always having a strong sweet tooth. She later became a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America and began experimenting with new recipes full of delicious flavors. Her many years of training gave her the opportunity to open her own bakery, providing fresh daily baked treats using the best quality ingredients.

Wedding cake.

Emily made the booking process incredibly easy, answering all our questions and making us feel confident every step of the way. The wedding cake was everything my wife had envisioned—down to the smallest detail. Not only did it look stunning, but it tasted amazing too. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about it. Overall, it was a flawless 10/10 experience, and we couldn’t be happier.

Quality service

So attentive to detail, prompt and really reasonably priced for the quality we received! We would 100% recommend. Emily went above and beyond for our son’s birthday cake. We were initially sad to dig in and eat it until we tasted it! Every part of the cake from the look, design & taste was just incredible!

Best experience ever!

Emily is a true talent—everything she bakes is made with such care and thoughtfulness. Her cakes are always beautiful, delicious, and full of personality, but just as importantly, she’s an absolute joy to work with. Communicative, creative, and kind—she makes the whole process feel effortless.
Whether you’re ordering for a special occasion or just treating yourself (as you should!), you can count on something that looks and tastes amazing. There’s a quiet confidence to her work that makes it clear: this is someone who really knows her craft.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
