When my husband and I made a list of priorities for our wedding, cake wasn't one of them. Neither of us are big sweets fans, so we didn't think too much of it. That is, until I went to a wedding show and had a little taste of heaven. It was a mini cupcake from Courageous Bakery, and it left me wanting more. I took my husband there to sample some cupcakes on our own. He agreed that these were a must have. One of the best features of Courageous is they have mini cupcakes, which meant we could have a variety of flavors to offer. We also ordered a mini naked cake for etc cake cutting that turned out adorable. My brother-in-law and his girlfriend moved in a few blocks away from Courageous and I love every time we visit them getting to go have a little reminder of our wedding - we haven't had a bad item from there yet! Thanks for making our wedding fabulous!When my husband and I made a list of priorities for our wedding, cake wasn't one of them. Neither of us are big sweets fans, so we didn't think too much of it.

We chose Cupcakes for Courage for two simple reasons 1) my hubby and I are not fans of cakes & 2) the cupcakes are to die for!!
I first tried their cupcakes at my church when the Cupcake Truck would show up and I loved them. When it came down time to pick a "cake" for our wedding, there was not a doubt in my mind who we should choose!
The whole process from the tasting to our enjoying them at our reception was easy and yummy!! It was a please working with Laura from Cupcakes to Courage. Everything was handled in a professional manner and she went above and beyond anything I imagined. Our tasting was amazing & we left the shop with so many amazing flavors to choose from!! The display and set up of our wedding cupcakes was beautiful!! The team did an amazing job setting up all the cupcakes, labeling the flavors and just making everything look gorgeous. The display stand we chose was beautifully decorated to match our wedding colors and I was just in awe!! If you are looking for something different than just your traditional wedding cake, I would highly recommend Laura and her team at Cupcakes for Courage!! They are fun to work with and your guests will love the cupcakes :)We chose Cupcakes for Courage for two simple reasons 1) my hubby and I are not fans of cakes & 2) the cupcakes are to die for!!

We had a sweet table at our reception hall for our wedding, but it would not have been complete without the delicious mini cupcakes that we also ordered from Cupcakes for Courage. They were adorable and delicious! And working with the ladies at CC was such a pleasant experience - they were so accommodating and easy to work with. I wish more of my vendors for our wedding were that wonderful to talk to! Cupcakes for Courage was probably one of the vendors that we spent the least amount of money on (considering flowers, photographers, the reception hall, etc.) but they were one of the only vendors who immediately followed up with us following the wedding to ask if our experience met our expectations. I will continue to support Cupcakes for Courage because they provide a delicious product - equally wonderful service - and they stand behind their work. Thank you to them and...

The best bakery in Chicagoland!! They did a cupcake tower for us. We had some dietary requests and they were able to easily make it happen. We had gluten free and vegan cupcakes, along with regular cupcakes. Amazing! The guests couldn't even tell the difference. So delicious. We received more comments on our yummy cupcakes than we did on anything else. They created a custom tier stand for us that we took home with us. They also provided containers for guests to take home cupcakes with them (and for us to freeze one!). They were super friendly, affordable and responsive. I can't wait to use them again for my bakery needs. AND, they donate their proceeds to Cancer research so not only are you getting the most delicious cake/cupcakes but you're fighting a cause too! Mmmm....now I want a cupcake!The best bakery in Chicagoland!! They did a cupcake tower for us. We had some dietary requests and they were able to easily make it happen.

Been eating these cupcakes for years now and honestly, they are AMAZING! I've tried quite a few cupcake places but this one seems to be my absolute favorite!
We used Cupcakes for Courage (instead of the receptions recommended bakery) for our small wedding cake and cupcakes for our wedding and they were a huge hit! Our family and friends loved them and the display looked great!
I would've gave them a 5 out of 5 but I had a little issue with the cake stand rental, however, they fixed the issue which we appreciated! For our next event, we will definitely order their cupcakes again and would recommend to ANYONE!Been eating these cupcakes for years now and honestly, they are AMAZING!

The ladies at Courage Bakery did an amazing job with my gluten free pink velvet wedding cake. It was delicious and beautiful. Their wedding event staff person quit during high season and she left without placing my order! With just two weeks before my December wedding I called the bakery and they were able to get things handled. The extra effort to communicate and follow up on my part was well worth it. I love the message and mission of this bakery. It is a great value for GF traditional style wedding cakes (in comparison with others in the area) and they were very pleasant to work with.

Cupcakes for Courage makes delicious, affordable cupcakes, and we are happy we went with them for our wedding. One of our flavors was a gluten-free banana, and that was the only flavor to be completely gone at the end of the night--it was that good! And our family has been greatly affected by cancer, so the charity aspect was very meaningful.
When I asked about our options for returning the cupcake stand since we were leaving for our honeymoon shortly after the wedding, Laura suggested I ask our caterer to bring cupcake trays and a cake stand to save us the trouble and the rental fee. It was so generous of her to offer that option even though it clearly wasn’t in her best interest.
My only complaint about Cupcakes for Courage is that the communication was a little slow, even right before the wedding when I was trying to arrange a final payment. Still, if we had to do it over again, we would still choose them.Cupcakes for Courage makes delicious, affordable cupcakes, and we are happy we went with them for our wedding.

When we signed a contract, we were told they only took one wedding per day. Closer to the event, they told us we would have to compromise our flavor choices because of the other wedding they had that day. Our cakes were accidentally delivered to that wedding, but luckily arrived just before the ceremony started. Overall, the cupcakes were delicious but it was stressful until it all came together.When we signed a contract, we were told they only took one wedding per day.

Courageous Bakery has amazing cupcakes and our wedding cake was absolutely delicious. They were generally easy to work with, though sometimes e-mail communication took a little while. I think they generally do a lot more cupcake cakes than actual cakes, but our cake was not complicated and it looked good. The cake was a little pricey for a simple design, but as I said, it was delicious, and that was the most important thing to us.Courageous Bakery has amazing cupcakes and our wedding cake was absolutely delicious.

They're cupcakes were wonderful and everyone loved the flavors we chose, especially the key lime and the gluten free strawberry. Being able to do a gluten free cupcake that was nearly indiscernible from a normal wheat flour cake was one of the reasons Courageous Bakery sold us. They're happy personalities and underlying causes were other reasons.
There were a couple small issues. One was a bit of delayed communication closer to our wedding date. Though I think this may have been due to the loss of their wedding coordinator, something we were not informed of and it required a couple unanswered emails and a misdirected phone call before I contacted the bakery directly and received any response. Also we were limited to chose from only certain flavors for a couple of our cupcakes because of their need to coordinate menus even though we had originally been told when we signed with them that we would be free to choose any. They were able to fulfill our need for tasty cupcakes so everything turned out great in the end.
