  Delicious and Beautiful Cake!

  Our cake was unbelievably delicious and absolutely beautiful. We received so many compliments on it and our guests kept asking for seconds! They did a wonderful job with the cake and we couldn’t be happier! Thank you!

  I can't stop dreaming about our delicious cake!

  I cannot recommend Sweet Temptations enough! We chose this bakery for our wedding cake, and it was an excellent choice. Marlene is wonderful to work with. Our tasting was easy, fun, and, of course, delicious. For the day of the wedding, I didn't have any worries as she took care of everything. It's been 1.5 months since our wedding, and we are STILL receiving compliments from our guests on how much they loved our cake. The cake flavors and fillings are all exceptionally tasty, and the frosting is out of this world! To top it off, I found the price extremely reasonable.

  Incredible Wedding Cake & Cupcakes!

  I first heard about Sweet Temptations Dessert Co. from a coworker who had used them for her wedding, and since we live near the bakery, we decided to look into them! We arranged a tasting with Marlene (the owner and baker), who is so unbelievably sweet and accommodating, and we fell IN LOVE with her cakes! We wanted cupcakes instead of a traditional cake, and Marlene really helped bring my vision to life! We selected three flavors of cupcakes for ours guests, and had a 10" cake to cut on our own. We have received TONS of compliments on the cupcakes - they were so elegant, delicious, and not a single one was leftover at the end of the reception! :) The pricing is exceptional as well, and Marlene really works with to make sure you get what you want while being conscious of budget. If you are looking for a bakery with a friendly feel and home-baked taste, look no further!

  Incredibly Delicious!

  The guests at my wedding absolutely loved the desserts made by Marlene and her team at Sweet Temptation in Yorkville, IL. We ordered a small cake for cutting, but guests had choices of various cookies, brownies and bars. Everything was incredibly delicious! Thank you thank you thank you to Marlene and Sweet Temptations. You can't go wrong in choosing them for your wedding!

  Marlene was amazing! From our cake tasting where my husband fell in love with her brown sugar cinnamon frosting, to creating our wedding cake, to our sweet table, to creating my surprise jeep groom's cake for my husband, we really enjoyed working with her! She is so caring and easy to work with! Working with Marlene was like talking to an old family friend and her sense of joy on our big day made me feel like I was on top of the world. Will definitely be going back to Marlene for any cake needs we have in the future!

  Marlene made a cake for my daughter's XV party for July 1st, 2017. She had previously done a cake for my nieces XV the year before in July as well. The best cakes we've ever had!! Our cake was a 4 tiered cake with each tier being a different flavor. Marlene worked with us on the design and the final product was both beautiful and delicious. We got so many compliments on how delicious the cake was. My sister drove down from Naperville to her shop just to get a cupcake last weekend because the cake was that good. Marlene was a pleasure to work with, she was very professional, flexible with our cake tasting time and had great ideas. Would highly recommend her for your cake/cupcakes needs.

  Food - both dinner & dessert - were #1 for my fiancé. As such, I setup 3 different bakery tastings. The first (elsewhere) went well - everything was ok, and we resolved to book there, unless our tasting with Marlene was a) tasted amazing or b) was way cheaper.
  Let me tell you, her tasting was SO MUCH more amazing, I think due in part to her serving the tasting room temp (not cold), but due mostly to just how damn good her work really is! I do NOT like brown sugar & cinnamon flavors, but her BS&C frosting? Game changer. I love lemon/strawberry cake/frosting - she has REAL STRAWBERRY pieces in her frosting! It was so flavorful. One of the best parts of our wedding was that we had cupcake leftovers. We spent the day after delivering cupcakes to parents and grandparents, and they were thrilled. Our cake top, for cutting, was great, too - moist, flavorful, and gorgeously decorated. I can't wait for our one year - not just to celebrate a year of marriage, but for our replica cake from Marlene!
  My husband raved about the tasting, and then became excited for the cupcakes on the wedding day, and her cost was even a bit cheaper than the other place we visited, and fulfilled a) amazing taste!
  She's also easy to communicate with via email, and the shop is just so cute. And, VERY clean - you can tell she takes her business seriously, but does so with a personal touch. I highly recommend!

  I found Marlene through a friend. She was fantastic from the get go. She was open to anything we wanted. She was flexible in her timing. She helped me to surprise my now husband with a groom's cake that had our families talking for a few days. The cake was delicious and so moist. I was worried about the cake being dry because of other wedding's I have been to. I was told that even the fondant was good. The wedding cake was a different combination that we found while in our cake tasting. Needless to say, everyone loved our cake. Marlene was prompt and her cakes are exceptional. Another great thing about Marlene is that she gave us a gift certificate for a cake for our 1 year anniversary. I would recommend her again in a heart beat.
