Perfect Cake and Macarons
I still get compliments on how tasty our cake was. We got a carrot cake and chocolate caramel. They did a great job helping us pick a silhouette that fits our wedding size. They are very responsive and accommodating. The cake looked absolutely gorgeous. They asked if we could drop the cake flowers off the night before the wedding and I am so glad my planner did because they placed them on the cake beautifully. We also got single boxed macaroons with our wedding logo printed on them as wedding favors. Everyone loved them and there were barely many left over to take home which is usually the case with wedding favors. 100/10 would recommend to future Mr. and Mrs. -

Delicious and elegant wedding cakes
Vanille Patisserie made the best wedding cake for us, and I feel so lucky to have found them! We planned our Chicago wedding from Florida, and during a Chicago visit a month before the date, happened to walk by the bakery. My mom and I met Sophie, who set up a cake tasting to-go for us before we left town the next day. Once we tasted the flavors, we immediately decided to go with Vanille, despite already having submitted an order at a different bakery. The hardest decision was choosing our cake flavors! We highly recommend the chocolate cake with earl grey mousseline and orange marmalade- it was a hit with our guests. These cakes are wonderfully flavorful, less sweet than typical cakes, and very elegant in presentation. The cake design process was also very easy and clear; Nicole helped us customize the cake exactly how we wanted it (and we dropped off fresh flowers the day before). Thank you so much for the Vanille team for making our day special. -

Perfect Cake
Vanille made our cake through our vendor agreement with LLM Catering at City View Loft that we signed in 2019. The cake tasting at the Lincoln Park location was a lot of fun. We picked out 2 flavors and one of the designs they already had, but we made a change to the bottom tier. The sketch the provided after was great and helpful and day of looked exactly like we thought. We ended up not celebrating until 2022, but we had no issues. Thank you! -

Vanille - only the best
Our wedding cake from Vanille was amazing. They worked with us to design our cake to fit with our wedding theme. The cake looked great and tasted even better. We received so many compliments on the cake – a rarity at weddings. But what else, would you expect from Vanille, Chicago's best bakery! -

Best wedding cake!
Our wedding cake was absolutely amazing! We ended up doing three different flavors of cake and it was a dream come true! All of our wedding guests raved about the cake! Sophie and the whole team were easy to work with and they did an amazing job! I'm from Germany and so were some of our guests (which are used to delicious pastries and cake) and they raved about our wedding cake. I would highly recommend them! -

Beautiful and Delicious Desserts
While we did not get an option to choose our dessert as Vanille Patisserie works with our venue (City View Loft), Vanille was going to be the dessert we chose anyway, and for good reason. We went with some of their macarons for our desserts as well as some petit fours and all of those and our cake was delicious. I'm now wishing I had eaten more of the dessert because I can't stop thinking about it! While Vanille may be best known for their macarons, I would highly recommend checking out some of their other dessert options as well as these are just as delicious. We received compliments from not our our guests, but from coworkers we shared our cake with afterwards. Vanille did not disappoint! -

We were very happy with Vanille, from start to finish. We worked Ashely and we really liked her. The tasting was fun and she look the ideas that I had floating around in my head and created a design that was perfect. We've received great feedback from our guests saying that both the design and the taste of the cake were impressive -- we would have to agree! Professional, responsive, flexible and easy to work with -- we highly recommend them. -

We were sold on Vanille from our tasting. The staff were extremely responsive and welcoming. Chandra took the time to go over various details and options for our cake. Throughout the process, she had excellent contact! Though we didn't get to eat much of our cake on the wedding day, we are looking forward to our anniversary cake!! :) -

We used Vanille Patisserie for our wedding at South Branch Chicago on August 15, 2015. It was a pleasure to work with Chandra, who was very responsive to emails, and of course made us a wonderful cake for our wedding. Our cake tasting at the Lincoln Park location was fantastic, and allowed us to communicate exactly what we were looking for to Chandra. The final product, while small and simple in design, was nonetheless wonderfully elegant, classic, and of course tasted amazing, as well. In addition to all this, the price point was very easy to fit in our budget - which is always important when organizing a wedding. We were thoroughly impressed with Vanille Patisserie, and would highly recommend them for any future events. -

We ordered our wedding cake, petit fours, and macarons from Vanille for our wedding, and everything was AMAZING! At the tasting, the cake was so delicious that my sister cried. Hands down the best cake, let alone wedding cake, I've ever eaten. From day one, Chandra was a dream to work with, and everything turned out beautiful. Highly recommended. -

Kelly at Vanille Patisserie was so professional and really made our tasting so enjoyable...... From the moment we stepped into the adorable boutique setting store front we felt very comfortable... Kelli had mini cakes ready for Shawn and I to taste and we felt that if she was this professional with our tasting then we knew she was the one to design our wedding cake! The cake was amazing, Kelli and Vanille's details the day of the wedding were so stunning! She had a mini cake for us in a canvas bag, along with mini goodies for us to take with us after the wedding! The cake was a hit! Everyone of our guests commented on the look, but most importanly the taste! Thank you Vanille!!! -

We got so may compliments on how good our wedding cake tasted. Given that this was a fondant cake, that is a big compliment since fondant is supposed to taste bad. Vanille also provided us with petit fours and the macaroons were so good, melting in your mouth!
Guests loved the ability to sample so many quality sweets!
An really nice touch by Keli is that she left us a little "swag" gift bag with a few packaged sweets for us plus a mini cake with our wedding design! So precious...we also get on our one year anniversary a cake top (freshly made) with our wedding cake design...also a very nice touch!

Keli, the owner and cake designer, is excellent to work with- from our first meeting, she had unique ideas for our cake design, and gave us many delicious samples to try. Vanille was extremely professional and easy to contact through the entire wedding planning process. Our guests were truly wowed at the cake design, it was a hand painted peacock feather on a fondant ribbon, and the taste was truely out of this world decadent! Our guests and my husband still salivate at the mere mention of the cake! -

I would highly recommend Vanille Patisserie. The tasting was delicious and made it little tough to pick out a flavor/s, as they were all delicious!!! Keli and her team did a tremendous job, I received tons of compliments. We also received a small cake for two and a certificate for our 1 year anniversary. We LOVED our wedding cake! -

We loved our wedding cake!! The look of it was beyond our expectations. It was delivered without a hitch (in horrible weather) and it tasted great! We only had to meet with the bakery once, and we were able to sample 3 different types of cake from a list of really unique and traditional flavors. They offered us espresso/latte's when we were sampling, and the samples themselves were made in the shapre of cute mini cakes. We chose the red velvet cake with raspberry and sweet cream cheese filling and almond cake with chocolate caramel ganache filling with candied hazelnuts. Everyone loved it. We also received a mini wedding cake for just the 2 of us (as a surprise for after the wedding) and a gift certificate for our 1 year anniversary. -

Our wedding cake from Vanille was incredibly delicious. Our guests are STILL talking about it almost a month later...it was really that good. People ate seconds and asked for thirds!
Having said that, there was an issue with delivery the day of the wedding and the cake arrived almost two hours after it was supposed to. As the bride, no one really told me what was going on or why this happened, but it left me feeling a little confused.
Still, the cake is delicious. Hands down, the best we've ever eaten...and that's what really mattered to us! -
