Amazing Wedding Cake!
We ordered our wedding cake from Jarosch Bakery and couldn't have been more happy with how it turned out! My husbands parents got their wedding cake here and have been going back ever since. They were great and easy to work with. We had an initial meeting to discuss what we wanted and a few months later I email them a photo of my inspiration. They delivered the cake on time to our venue and all our guests had rave reviews about it! Our florist even added a little greenery to it! We didn't do a tasting, so I'm sure that is something you can request. My husband has tried a majority of what they offer! I would definitely use Jarosch again for future cake/baked good needs! -

Wedding cake!
We had our wedding cake made by Jarosch Bakery as part of the wedding package from the Wild Onion Brewery and couldn't have been happier with how it turned out. We ordered a 3 tiered cake with graham cracker cake/apricot preserve and carrot cake/cream cheese frosting and it was absolutely delicious and beautiful. We had several guests ask us where the cake was from because they liked it so much. I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of a wedding cake. -

Delicious cake and donuts!
Our wedding cake was absolutely perfect! And so were the donuts! No treats were left! Debbie was a pleasure to work with and the tasting and payments went so smoothly! She was so helpful and gave great tips! Jarosch is a favorite in our family so it only seemed right to have them make the most important cake! Delicious! -

Jarosch really took into consideration our vision for our wedding. They also made sure to stay within our budget. The staff was very professional and delivered their cake within the time frame we agreed upon. We got so many compliments on the cake! Guests really enjoyed the taste of the cake and how beautiful it was! -

Absolutely phenomenal bakery. They made our wedding cake and it was fantastic! Three layers of different flavors and fillings. Marble w/ buttercream, white w/ raspberry cream and red velvet w/ cream cheese. Frosting was delicious- buttercream. Also added "glitter" to the cake which really added shimmer! Love love love, would recommend again and again. Also did a free tasting! -

My husband and I frequent Jarosch for their amazing baked goods so we knew we had to choose them for our wedding cake! We had a graham cracker cake (which has real graham crackers in it!), with a chocolate buttercream filling, and white buttercream frosting. Their buttercream is the best! It's not too sweet, it's just perfect. We will definitely be ordering a small one again for our first anniversary! -

We ordered a small tier of the cake & filling choices that we wished to try; we went with marble with mocha & graham cracker with caramel. Have you tried graham cracker cake? You must! We also ordered mini chocolate tarts. Everyone loved the flavor, texture, & decor of our cake. We have another event coming up & will reorder from Jarosch. -

When I started working in Elk Grove Village, I heard whispers about how amazing Jarosch Bakery was.. and that is an understatement! Jarosch is full of amazing employees and even better bakers! We got a sample cake, and they were so accommodating about helping us find flavors that were good - especially since I'm allergic to chocolate. Their banana cake is so good! Also try the Irish Cream filling; it tastes like Baileys. Our cake turned out beautiful.. better than I ever expected. Everyone was raving about the four flavors we chose to have in it. We liked it so much that two weeks later we ordered another small cake just so we can sit back and enjoy it some more =) Highly recommend going here for any cake, bread, cupcakes, cookies or desserts you might need! Jarosch also supplied the cookies for our dessert bar. -

We originally found Jarosch based on WeddingWire reviews- neither of us had ever been there before. We made an appointment beforehand and gave them our request for flavors we wanted to try. I’d read so much ahead of time about their graham cracker cake, that I knew we had to try it. Jarosch was our second stop for cake-tasting, and we were blown away. They had made a small cake with all the different layers we’d requested, and everything was absolutely delicious! We ended up going with the graham cracker cake with chocolate buttercream frosting. It was such a unique cake flavor; I’d never had anything like it before, and definitely not at a wedding!
We worked with Tammy, and she was great! She is incredibly nice. We didn’t know much about cake designs or sizes before we went, so she was very patient and explained everything. She also worked with our venue in advance to coordinate the delivery, so we didn’t have to worry about any of the logistics the day of!
We chose a pretty simple design for the cake itself (white with a blue dot design on each tier), but we had an odd special request. We brought them small lego figures (a baker, a painter, etc), and asked them to put the legos on our cake. Our wedding definitely wasn’t “themed,” but we wanted to inject some personality wherever we could. They decorated the cake in a way that was classy and sophisticated, but so fun, and so unique to us! We got so many compliments on the design, and more importantly, the taste! All our guests came up to us asking what flavor it was. So delicious!
Our only regret was that we each only had one piece of it. We live out of state and couldn’t bring any of the cake home with us. Can’t wait for our next trip to Chicago so we can order a small cake and keep it all to ourselves!
We had a great experience with Jarosch, and would highly recommend them for any occasion! -

Jarosch was the only bakery available through our wedding venue (the Onion Pub & Brewery), so we didn't have to shop around. We didn't think we'd care that much about the cake (who ever even remembers the cake?), but our.cake.was.amazing. We found 3-4 pictures online that we really liked, and they were able to combine the parts that we wanted from each into our fabulous one-of-a-kind cake. One tier was graham cracker cake with chocolate cream, one layer was marble cake with mocha cream, and our top layer that we took home was graham cracker with mocha. Everyone said we had the best wedding cake they'd ever had. -

Jarosch Bakery definitely defies the old adage that wedding cake it dry and tasteless. This bakery has been around for 40 years and does amazing wedding cakes. Not only was my cake stunning in appearance, but it tasted absolutely incredible.
We had alternating tiers of red velvet and graham cracker, both of which guests raved about. Since the wedding, I've had many people ask where I got my wedding cake, both because they were impressed by it's breathtaking appearance and it's delectable goodness. -

We order our wedding cake, along with every other cake I have ever needed in my life, was from Jarosch. The cake was the best wedding cake I have ever eaten! It looked more amazing than I could have imagined! Everyone was so easy to work with and so willing to help. I would recommend Jarosch for any occasion. -

Jarosch was so lovely! The staff at Jarosch sat down with us and we discussed every detail of the cake. We didn't know all the details that needed to be decided, but the staff led us through and got a gauge for what mattered to us. Not only was the cake delicious (graham cracker cake with lemon cream filling!), but it was executed wonderfully and was exactly what we had pictured. -

Cake tasting was my favorite part of wedding planning but after finding Jarosch we had to stop tasting because they had everything we needed and wanted. The cake was excellent and it was an affordable price. Our wedding cake was red velvet with cream cheese filling= to die for. Jarosch's red velvet recipe is second to none! They have a whole book of wedding cake frosting designs that can be done at no additional charge. The staff is friendly, helpful, and very professional. We saved money on our cake by having a 3 tier "display" wedding cake and then we had 3/4 sheet cake in the back that no body saw. The sheet cake provided us with servings for half our guests and we opted to choose a graham cracker with cream cheese filling for that one. I'm a red velvet gal but that one was very good! The cakes arrived on time and the display cake was just georgous! I highly reccomend them. We will be making the trip up to Jarosch for some goodies again soon.

We went to a cake tasting and all the combinations we tried were delicious! We ordered a red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting. It was the talk of the town. It was perfectly moist the day of. We ordered real flowers from the flower shop a couple doors down and had them delivered as a cake topper. We also gave them ribbon to put at the base of each layer. Everything came together perfectly and tastily. This vendor does not dissappoint! -

I grew up in Elk Grove Village and know first hand that nothing but the best comes from this bakery. We knew right away that we wanted Jarosch to make our wedding cake. It was beautiful and delicious and we couldn't have asked for anything more! Thank you for making our wedding so beautiful and delicious! -

Delicious!!!!!!!! We were able to pick a three cakes and two fillings to taste test for free. When we got there to try it, they made a pretty big cake of the different kinds we wanted - it was basically the size of a whole top tier so we had PLENTY to take home and give to our parents to try out/eat for a couple days. We chose graham cracker cake with a white chocolate filling... I know it sounds weird but it was soooo good! Would def recommend the graham cracker cake and Jarosch! -

My husband and I grew up with this bakery and could not have been happier that we could have them on out wedding day. It was one of the things that sealed the deal with out hall. From the tasting to the finally product I would use them again at other important events and just because. We look forward to our year anniversary to eat more of that yummy cake. -

They were quite flexible: They added some filling options after we had our sample cake, and they quickly made us a new cake when one of the filling options oddly enough went with our theme better than the original options. Cake itself was fantastic, looked great, tasted great, and was reasonably priced! -

I got my wedding cake from Jarosch Bakery and was so happy with my entire experience. First the tasting, which was delicious, and they give you a whole small cake to take home as a sampler for FREE! My husband and I chose marble and graham cracker cakes (which I haven't seen anywhere else), and butter cream frosting. I came in a second time to finalize the cake design, and brought in photos after I had gotten some ideas based on their sample book during my first visit. Come wedding day and the cake looked great, and tasted amazing as well. It was perfect. And the pricing was great too, compared to other bakeries I did tastings with, they were almost half the price but I don't feel like I sacrificed anything. I would definitely recommend Jarosch to any bride. I plan to get cake from them again when I plan a party or something. -

Our experience with Jarosch was great from the beginning. Our tasting was wonderful - we felt appreciated and even got the rest of our tasting cake to take home so our families could try it. The delivery fees were so affordable ($12 to deliver accross town!) and they had a wonderful variety of pastries to make a great sweet table. When the cake was put out, it was exactly what I wanted right down to the tuxedo bows. It tasted so great too- when my fiance and I cut it, he took extra bites because he liked it so much!! -

We worked with Kathy a lot and I have nothing but nice things to say about this bakery.
The price was one of the more reasonable ones I found out there and their cake was yummy! She definitely worked with us when figuring out our number of slices and budget.
Everyone who works there is pleasant. Kathy is super responsive through email...although not an easy cookie to get a hold of in person. I believe she's only there Monday, Wednesday and Friday (only in the morning)? No complaints really. Worth every penny. I'm just praying my mom packaged my top tier perfectly...I am super excited to see what it will taste like in a year! =0) -

Jarosch bakery was recommended to me by family and friends as well as from the banquet hall coordinator. I did not have many requirements for a cake, and was stunned to see the beautiful cake that was delivered. My husband and I had the first taste of what would be shared with our guests and it was outstanding!!! We got a cake that fed 100 people at a killer price!
The recommendations that I received were right! It was awesome. -

Jarosch really worked with me in creating the perfect cake for my wedding. They were friendly, helpful, creative and well experienced. They knew exactly what I wanted and were very thorough with the colors, style and fillings that I desired. The cake was absolutely stunning and tasted far better than The Baking Institute that I also sampled.

My wedding cake was beautiful. It was everything I wanted. When we went to do the taste test, they made us a whole cake to take with us. There were no problems, and the cost was so little. It was the only thing that didn't go wrong on our special day! -

Our wedding cake from Jarosch was delicious and beautiful! We are so happy that we chose them. They were very flexible and professional. I changed the size of the cake the week before and they were nothing but accommodating and helpful! The tasting was also fantastic as they give you a whole round cake to take home with several different flavor combinations to try! Enjoy your wedding cake from Jarosch! -

My cake from Jarosch was absolutely the best.
The first thing is, I came in one afternoon and said "hey I want a wedding cake, I know what I want, I want to pre-order it now, etc." - I had no appointment - therefore, the professionalism aspect was a 4.5 just because a high school girl took my order and she seemed to not be used to it - this was likely my fault for being too enthusiastic to call.
Well she took my order perfectly. I had a very small two tier cake, enough to feed 30 people, I believe. Round tiers. The fillings were butter cream, red velvet, and raspberry! The outside was a smooth buttercream with a "lacy design," some beading along the bottom of each tier.
I can tell you right now just in general, I hate cake. Take me to a birthday party, I will likely pick at the piece I'm handed and toss it. I LOVED my cake. I could eat this cake weekly and not get sick of it... and I'm supposed to hate cake!!
The best part is, I only had to put a portion down. The rest was due two weeks before my wedding. It was very reasonable in price. I also did not have to pay a delivery charge (or cutting charge, at that) because they were automatically affiliated with my choice of venue.
So overall, I love Jarosch, and I'm counting down the days until I can have my top tier for my anniversary!! -

We loved our wedding cake. There is a $25 fee for the cake tasting, which includes a small 3-layer cake custom-baked for you with three flavors of cake and 2 frostings. This cost is deducted from your wedding cake if you book with them. The tasting cake was 6-7" diameter and at least 4 inches tall. Amazingly good. We decided on red velvet and graham cracker, with raspberry jam and buttercream filling and chocolate marshmallow filling. They were able to stack the graham cracker and red velvet together so each slice had some of each. There was no extra charge for multiple flavors. We decided on a very simple three-tier square cake with ivory frosting, with silk flowers. I provided the flowers and they arranged them beautifully. It turned out exactly as we hoped it would, and was so delicious. Very happy! -

I liked this bakery the second I had my cake tasting. At first I was a bit uncertain of the professionalism of the establishment because I had sent them an email tasting inquiry from their site and they had never gotten back to me. But when I called them up a few days later, they were friendly and quick to accommodate me at schedule an appointment.
Once I walked it, I realized that it was a family run, small bakery and so they probably didn't have someone consistently manning the site and email responses. I had put down a $25 tasting fee before I walked into the bakery, which at first I was irked about, but not only did they tell me it would be deducted from my cake cost, should I get one from them, but I realized why they needed it; they had baked an entire cake with my requested cake flavors and frostings on each layer. Looking back on it, it seems that that would be the best way to give someone an idea of how a fresh cake would taste, but it was wonderful because I could take home the rest of the cake and have my husband, friends and family give me their input on the cake as well.
I only wanted a 14" round cake, no tiers, and they were very accommodating and willing to work with me. I got a red velvet cake and I provided them with some cake toppers and lots of decor toppers (Fake leaves, fake acorns, and paper flowers) for them to arrange as they saw fit. I told them they didn't need to use all of it my any means, but make it pretty, as I trusted their eye. While the cake I received was wonderful and beautiful, I was a bit surprised that they did in fact use all of the decor I gave them. It seemed a bit busy and crowded to me; but that was a very small concern of mine.
The cake itself was wonderful. I'm always a huge fan of red velvet, and this bakery knows how to do it right. I highly recommend their wares, they do beautiful work! -

Everything that comes out of this bakery is delicious!
The cake was wonderful we got so many comments about how it was the best wedding cake anyone had ever tasked.
There was one spot that got bumped in transport that I wish the would have smoothed out. Other than that it was great.

This review is based solely on my wedding cake, I've never actually been to this bakery.
OM NOM NOM NOM NOM!
My wedding venue (Bartlett Hills Golf Club) includes a cake from Jarosch. At the tasting, we got to pick 3 cake bases and 2 fillings. We assumed that we would pick one of each, and that would be our wedding cake. Our tasting cake was one "mega cake" with all bases and fillings. WOW! My husband and I knew that this cake was perfect, and we were told that we could have THIS combo as our wedding cake, it wouldn't cost extra.
That's exactly what we did. Marble, Yellow, and Devil's Food Cake, with mocha and rasperry filling. IT WAS SO GOOD! Our guests LOVED IT! We did not do the superstitious thing and freeze the top for our one year anniversary. We ate that cake right up, and had dessert for the first week of our marriage. -

I grew up on Jarosch. Their bakery goods are the best. Everything is a little bite of heaven. Ever since I was a little girl, I knew I'd get my cake from here. I was not disappointed. Just like always, the cake was moist and delicious. We had brought in a a picture of a cake we liked that had fonduant (sp?) frosting. They recommended that we go with buttercream frosting instead because fonduant is not tasty. They'd smooth it out to look like fonduant. The cake was beautiful and tasty. My aunt didn't believe it was real and stuck her finger in it! They also did our sweet table. And all I can say is YUMMY! We got lots of complements on the cake and sweets. -

We ordered our wedding cake from Jarosch - so tasty! We got many compliments from our guests about the unique flavor. We decided on the graham cracker cake with chocolate marshmallow filling - like a s'more cake! It was moist and delicious! My mother has been going to this bakery since she was small, and now I know why. It was a GREAT value (we expected to pay way more than what we did). They have started doing wedding cake tasting days, which I highly recommend. You can taste any of their cakes/fillings. Our appointment to order went smoothly, and they made an entire cake round for us to taste and take home. Delish! -

The first cake we tried was extremely dry, and the whipped frosting was very thin. When we told our venue that we would rather bring in our own cake, we were told we could pick a different flavor to try. The second try was MUCH much better, and we ended up being really happy with our red velvet cake. I wish they had had buttercream frosting as an option, but overall it was a good cake! -

Jarosch gave my husband and I a beautiful wedding cake. Instead of Fondant they used ribbons in the colors we wanted and were able to replicate the cake very closely to a picture we found in TheKnot magazine. I rated them lower on flexibility because they weren't able to use fontdant well. I would recommend if you want a fondant cake, that they practice more, or you find an alternative (like we did with ribbon) that they can do instead.
We went with a graham cracker cake and devils food with a raspberry filling. The cake was a little dry but tasted great. They also allowed us to sameple 3 different cakes and 2 fillings so we know what we were getting into. Overall it was pretty good value for the money. -

The cake was average price, perhaps even below average. I have been eating Jarosch cakes since I was eight years old- every single party I've been to my whole life (having grown up with the family down the street). I have never enjoyed one of their cakes so much! They're always beautiful, for sure. But my wedding cake was the most delicious thing they've produced, hands down. I felt like they made the delivery a bit difficult. The cost was average... lots of course! Maybe 500.00 plus 100 for delivery. Not a hundred percent sure. But the cake was perfect for our theme. Elegant enough for a gold accented wedding and simple enough for our venue- a barn! -

My experience with Jarosch was good.
Positives: price was my main reason for using Jarosch as I just wanted a small, simple cake. Their prices for cake and delivery were much better than other bakeries. We needed a smaller window of time to have our cake delivered and Jarosch was flexible in giving us a shorter block of time for delivery. It did arrive on time and tasted wonderful.
Overall, a good experience. I would recommend them.
Negatives: our consultant at our tasting did not have our cake defrosted before our arrival as someone forgot to do so. It was still edible to taste and not really a big deal. I did request no frilly thing on the cake platter as they had in the picture of my cake, but it arrived with one. Not too big a deal really. -

The cake was included in our reception venue package. Our cake at our wedding was AMAZING. Everyone told us how delicious it was. What everyone didn't know was that it was not the cake that we ordered. It was the original cake we wanted, but we changed the order in PERSON a few months before the wedding and they still gave us the original order. They get 5 stars for taste and design but I was disappointed that it was not the exact cake we wanted. -

The cake they made was very basic, but it tasted quite good. Unfortunately, they are a very busy establishment, and when we set up a cake tasting, we got very little personal attention. We were pretty much shoved into a book room and only allowed to taste 3 different types of cakes and fillings. We wanted a very specific kind of cake and we weren't able to fit that into our budget there, and therefore went with a basic three-tiered cake, chocolate with raspberry filling. It tasted just fine, but they didn't do anything special and the service wasn't superb, which is something you're looking for at a wedding. Thank goodness our florist decorated it so beautifully with flowers that it ended up looking spectacular. I would recommend them for basic cake services if the cake isn't the highest thing on your priority list. -
