Central Continental Bakery baked and designed our wedding cake. It already looked so gorgeous on paper, but when we walked into our reception and saw the cake on the cake table, we were floored. It was so beautiful and well made! Not to mention delicious! They added a ribbon and some other touches to make the cake stand out, which I really appreciated! Can't wait to eat our top tier on our 1st wedding anniversary!Central Continental Bakery baked and designed our wedding cake.

Central Continental Bakery is the bakery that my vendor went through. I was a little thrown because when we did our tasting we ordered to-go cups for $2.50 of 6 different flavors of cakes / fillings, so it wasnt exactly the experience i was expecting - but every single type of cake / filling was out of this world!!! Everything at that bakery is just amazing. Everyone there is really nice too! The design on my cake was intricate, and didnt turn out like the picture, but it was very pretty and tasted AWESOME! I did 2 tiers of vanilla cream and 1 tier of raspberry cream - just delicious!!Central Continental Bakery is the bakery that my vendor went through.

Delicious Cake
Katie at the bakery was so helpful and a delight to work with. I did not have an exact style picked out and was provided with lost of options and design ideas to choose from. Their cake was so light and flavorful that seconds were needed! I would recommend them to anyone in need of a cake.Katie at the bakery was so helpful and a delight to work with.

For our wedding we opted to have cupcakes opposed to a cake. Not only were the cupcakes delicious, but they were beautiful as well. After doing our cupcake tasting we now take random rides out to this bakery just to try all of their other delicious treats!! This place is delicious, and everyone is so friendly.For our wedding we opted to have cupcakes opposed to a cake. Not only were the cupcakes delicious, but they were beautiful as well.

Our cake was perfect. The only thing that didn't happen is that we had requested a green pattern on the cake and they left it all as white, but it ended up looking better and more elegant! I also had wanted to surprise my husband by incorporating something to commemorate the New York Giants winning the Super Bowl. The bakery was incredibly accommodating and made the perfect tribute on the side of the top tier so that our head table could see it but the majority of the pictures would not have it. Our reception site works directly with the bakery which made everything incredibly easy.Our cake was perfect.

We were required to use Central Continental Bakery since our wedding cake was included in our wedding package. I had e-mailed inquiring about dates and times to set up a consultation. They were very fast and efficient on setting up the meeting. Once we arrived we had the pleasure of working with Christine. She was so friendly and helpful that is made the process of choosing our cake so much easier. Since our cake was included we had restrictions to what we could do unless we wanted to spend more money out of pocket. They did not push us at all to add anything, they just wanted to make sure we had what we wanted, and of course everything we tried was amazing. I love this bakery!We were required to use Central Continental Bakery since our wedding cake was included in our wedding package.

The bakery is amazing. The staff are amazing. The cake was SO TASTY!! We had a 5 tier cake and they gave us exactly what we asked for. Each tier had a different cake flavor for variety. The buttercream was delightful and they decorated it so perfectly. I mailed ribbon into them and they used it around the bottom of each tier and placed "bling" around the ribbon. Their cooperation with my dream idea for our cake made the cake turn out better than I could have ever imagined!

They were wonderful!! We picked a style out of the book and then brought in some pictures from magazines to sort of personalize our cake to us. She was extremely helpful and for a small charge was able to incorporate my ideas. The cake samples were also easy to get. A little far from where we live but if we were in the area we'd definitely go back!They were wonderful!!

Katie did a tremendous job on our cake and everyone was impressed when they walked into the room! It matched our picture exactly and every layer we had (4 total) was a different filling and it was so delicious. Central Continental also provided the European Sweet Table that we had and everything on the table was amazing from eclairs to tarts to chocolate strawberries and various mini bites and they didn't last long. They work directly with Concorde Banquets which made it even easier!Katie did a tremendous job on our cake and everyone was impressed when they walked into the room!

The cake was exactly what I wanted! They did a nice job with the cake sampling too. We got to choose either mini cups or small cakes. We did the small cakes and it was a great dessert for later.The cake was exactly what I wanted! They did a nice job with the cake sampling too. We got to choose either mini cups or small cakes.

Our venue outsourced the wedding cake to Central Continental Bakery. Because our venue did not provide taste testing for the cake we called up the bakery and they gladly made samples, of our choice, for us to come in and test. We worked with Mary at the bakery and she was VERY flexible with us. We had an idea of what we wanted and she made it happen. Our cake was absolutely delicous. (Chocolate cake - fudge - white cake - covered in non-dairy whipped cream!)Our venue outsourced the wedding cake to Central Continental Bakery.

I can not express how happy I am with the way my wedding cake turned out! We had 4 tiers all different flavors (including cheesecake)!! I have used this bakery in the past for a custom birthday cake and custom cupcakes. I have literally shown them a photo on my phone and they have been able to exceed my expectations every time! I would recommend this bakery to everyone! They were super helpful with any questions answering my calls and emails very quickly. We used Chandlers in Schaumburg as our reception venue and they network with this bakery so the cake cost was wrapped up into our venue cost.I can not express how happy I am with the way my wedding cake turned out!

Our cake came with the package at Fountain Blue, but it was yummy, yummy, yummy!! Our cake was so beautiful - my husband was impressed on how it came out! At the end of the night, everybody was asking where we got the cake from and because we had cake left over, it was all gone by the time we wanted a late night snack!

Delicious Cake!!
We absolutely loved our wedding cake and so did our guests! We received many compliments during and after our wedding. Our cake was fresh, moist, and full of flavor. Jeanie was very attentive to what we wanted and responsive to all my questions and emails. Our cake was so good, we couldn't save our top tier until our 1 year anniversary and I look forward to asking if a mini replica can be made next year.We absolutely loved our wedding cake and so did our guests!
