I passed through Waukegan early on a Sunday morning. I was a little skeptical just looking at their…read morepastries and having my mind set on donuts wasn't helping. I left with a cinnamon roll donut and a apple danish. I was loving the donut as I ate it while driving to my destination. The sweetness, texture, moistness, and cinnamon flavor was all there. I could have ate a couple more. The next day I ate the apple danish. It held up nicely a day later and wasn't all dried out. It was reminiscent of the apple danishes that McDonalds used to sell years ago, but 10x better. The apple filling was a sweet delight that i can rarely find. I really enjoyed the pastries here and everything tasted way better than they looked. If I would have known the goods were going to be great, I would have bought a lot more. To bad I won't be back out that way until next summer.

I had a big vision for my birthday cake, since I have been looking forward to this birthday theme…read morefor years. And all I can say is - THEY DID IT. (Detailed review below. TL;DR: Absolutely will be back. Quick, easy, and transparent communication about vision, price, and all in between.) Cake Details: 9-inch, heart-shaped, marble cake with fresh strawberries, $94 INITIAL COMMUNICATION It was literally 2 minutes before closing time when I called them for the first time (my planning mishap). However, someone picked up and offered immediate, friendly assistance. I figured ordering a custom cake takes more than just 2 minutes, so I offered to call back in the morning, but she was extremely eager and motivated to help me right then and there. We discussed the general details (size, theme, flavors, shape, etc.) over the phone, and I was then provided with a phone number to text additional information and reference pictures. CUSTOMIZATION I sent 3 cake pictures as references to the phone number, and explained which elements I want from each cake. Also, I wanted a heart-shaped cake instead of a round one. I was very picky, I admit, but the team was incredibly accommodating and happy to fulfill ALL my wishes - big and small. I also sent 3 more pictures of characters I wanted to add, and yet again, they accommodated. TRANSPARENCY The communication was so easy and clear. I inquired about the price at our first meeting, and was told that all added decorations are included. (The price would have only changed if I had added another tier, changed the size, or made any other dramatic changes.) This was amazing. I was able to tell them all my detailed wishes, and I never once feared about the final price, since their communication was so clear. OVERALL This is a great business to support and order from. I was very picky in what I wanted for my cake, and they were able to match it perfectly. All my guests loved the cake - looks and taste. And it tasted as good the following days. Added Note: One of our guests is gluten-free, and I was prepared to provide a gluten-free dessert for them; however, the bakery being gluten-free is just another great bonus, and my gluten-free friends will travel to this bakery in the future. Amazing!

This is a weird thing to go onto Yelp to review, but these products recently appeared at a local QT…read moreand I ended up here while trying to find more info about where the company is located. After seeing that scathing review below I needed to leave one, because this company's cookies and gooey butter cakes are so good that it should be illegal to stock them at my local QT because it's dangerous to have such delicious sweets a stone's throw away from my house. I have made several trips over there just to get one of these, sometimes in the middle of the night... They taste like homemade from scratch baked goods. I'm really picky about prepackaged cookies because so many have an unappealing texture or taste, but these cookies are buttery and good and just soft and chewy like homemade. I can't stop getting them and I have to go on the treadmill just to justify it. Woof. Yes, they're that good. Keep on doin' what yer doin' Prairie City Bakery.

It is crumbly and makes a big mess but offers no redemption on the taste buds. I have tried them numerous times over the years, hoping that they would show improvement. They have not improved.
