Allison S. Sent on 01/07/2024Our dream custom cake for our wedding!!
My husband and I did a lot of research and some tastings while on our search for a bakery to create our wedding cake, and we are so thrilled that we worked with Alliance Bakery for our big day!! Not only were we able to purchase some samples of our desired flavors, but the team at Alliance was so helpful and responsive to all of our questions along the way. They were kind and professional, and on top of it all, consulted with us to custom design our absolute dream cake!! Our vision was not your traditional wedding cake, and we were even told by other bakeries that we needed to stick to the flavors listed on their site. Alliance didn’t shy away from our vision and leaned fully into it and for that, we are so grateful, because our dream wedding cake became a reality and was an absolute dream come true. Thank you, Stacy, and to the pastry chef and whole Alliance Bakery team!! -

We tasted cakes from multiple bakeries in our research and Alliance was hands down the best cake. We booked them after our first bite and I’m so happy we did. Alliance delivered the most beautiful cake that was the exact design we envisioned for our wedding on 10/15/22. We had 3 flavors: almond cake with lemon curd, chocolate with chocolate ganache and raspberry preserves, and carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. Allowing our guests to choose their flavor made for a memorable experience. Highly recommend Alliance- super easy to work with and a delicious, beautiful cake! -

Stacy and Alliance Bakery were such an incredible part of our wedding day - if you're looking for dessert for any occasion, they should be your first stop.
Not only was our wedding cake beautiful and delicious, Stacy helped me through an eleventh hour panic, reducing the size of my cake and supplementing with a variety of additional desserts, helping me to avoid surprise catering fees as well as accommodate a variety of guest allergies (gluten free, dairy free, etc.).
She and the bakery were exceptional to work with, and provided truly wonderful desserts for our wedding - we cannot recommend them enough. For your elaborately designed cakes to your everyday desserts, Alliance has your covered with customer service that cannot be beat. -

No regrets whatsoever!
My husband and I did a few cake tastings at different bakeries. Alliance was the first bakery we tried and we both loved it. Our favorite combination was hazelnut cake with mocha buttercream. It tasted like coffee, wasn't too sweet and the texture was light fluffy. We did the other other tastings, and they were not as good. Either lacking in flavor or felt as if it was old and stale. Nothing else we tried compared to Alliance, they set the bar really high. Communication was fast and they were easy to work with. I originally ordered a three tier cake with the top tier 4" wide. Looking at my custom cake topper after the fact, which was 5" wide, I realized I made a mistake and needed a bigger cake. I had my heart set on using my topper and asked if I could change the size of my cake. It wasn't a problem, they were able to accommodate me without any issues. On the day of, everything went perfect. It arrived on time, looked fantastic and tasted great. All of my guests thought it was delicious. I had a small wedding and ended up a bigger cake than I needed to accommodate my guests (because of my topper). But honestly, I'm glad I had leftover cake to take home with me. My husband and I were eating cake for a few days after the wedding and it still tasted good I was a bit sad when we finally ran out! 100% recommend. I will be ordering a small cake from them for our anniversary! -

We used Alliance Bakery for our wedding and can’t recommend them enough! We worked with Celina at our tasting to not only to sample the flavors but also create the design and size of our cake for 150 people, which turned out beautifully and so delicious (we went with 3 layers of chocolate, vanilla and chocolate iced with buttercream in each of our 3 tiers). She tied the look of the cake to our wedding decor so well!
Then, Peter helped us coordinate the day-of delivery and also worked with our florist to top the cake. 10/10 would eat here again and recommend them for big events! :)

Alliance Bakery did an amazing job! From the initial emails to the cake tasting and then to the actual wedding day, every step of the process was pleasant and exceeded our expectations! The cake was beautiful and delicious and the decorators did a perfect job realizing our vision. And they were extremely punctual with delivery!! Nothing negative at all to say about them. Get your cake there! -

Jamila Sent on 11/01/2018Beautiful Cake
Our cake was 4 tiers of colorful deliciousness. We had several colorful cake ideas, and we were able to work together to come up with a cake that combined many of the elements that we liked. Alliance Bakery was one of our venues preferred vendors, but we were sold after the tasting. -

Cari H. Sent on 12/11/2018The Best Cake I've Ever Had
Walking into our wedding, I didn't think the cake was going to be that big of a deal, but in the spirit of having fun while wedding planning, my wife and I brought my mom and aunt on a cake tasting at Alliance. And all I can say is HOLY CRAP! First of all, every single cake/icing combination we tried was incredibly delicious; not too sweet and absolutely unique. Second of all, it became so difficult to choose that instead of having one wedding cake, we did a tasting cake and mini cupcakes. Those cupcakes were a HIT. And I don't think I've ever eaten a cake as good as this tasting cake. It was simple, beautiful, and delicious. And coordinating drop off at our reception location was a breeze. Alliance's wedding coordinators were a dream to work with.
Thirdly, as an LGBTQ couple, finding wedding vendors can be incredibly stressful and the Supreme Court decision about the baker and religious freedom came down while my wife and I were planning our wedding. I reached out to Alliance making sure we were welcome. I received a message of complete support. It made me feel truly welcome on a tough day.
If you are looking for a unique, beautiful, and scrumptious cake, Alliance is your bakery. -
Courtney Sent on 09/08/2018My husband and I used Alliance for our wedding cake. We frequent Alliance very often since we live in the neighborhood, and we have known for a long time that we wanted Alliance to make our wedding cake. I came into the wedding cake with a rough idea of what I wanted. Sarah helped me to create a custom cake that turned out beautiful. Each tier of the cake was different and extraordinary. On the bottom tier of the cake, they created a gold Chicago skyline. It turned out incredible, and better yet, the cake tasted amazing! We are so happy we went with Alliance to create our custom wedding cake!

Jon Sent on 01/30/2018This company is awesome. We had a great experience tasting with them and then they even accommodated making a plane cake. My wife and I are both pilots and they went above and beyond making this happen. The cake was incredible too and everyone of our guests commented on how great it was. Loved this company. Easy to work with and super accommodating.
Alliance Bakery's reply:
Jon,

Cheers,

Kathryn Sent on 10/14/2017Our wedding cake was unforgettable! I didn't have a great idea of the design I wanted, but I sent Alliance a couple pictures and thoughts... The end result was better than I could have dreamed. If you are slightly uncertain about your cake design and want expert guidance, this is the bakery for you.
A couple other things I loved about working with them:
1) They have a huge variety of cake flavors. You can be as creative as you want. We ended up choosing half red velvet cake with cream cheese filling and half lemon cake with coconut filling.
2) The cake tasting with Katy is held in an adorable front room next to the bakery. It was relaxing and fun, like having an afternoon tea with friends.
3) There were no hiccups or problems working with them. They are true professionals.
4) The cake was delicious. I got an unexpected number of compliments on it.
I will definitely find an event in which I can work with them again. They made my cake truly special. (Venue: Adler Planetarium) -
