We really wanted to like this place because everything looks great online and it does smell good when you walk in. Today my fiancé and I tried the confetti cupcake, and we honestly really did not like it at all. The buttercream tasted like super strong shortening or strictly butter taste. Nothing like any other buttercreams I've tried at other bakeries. It was not good. We also tried the strawberries and cream cupcake, and that was better than the confetti cupcake, but tasted unfortunately very artificial tasting, and neither of us were a fan of that either. The bakery has really nice cakes, everyone is friendly, but we just did not like the cupcakes, unfortunately. Cupcakes are around $3 each. read more

This is the second custom cake I've ordered in the last year, and it won't be the last! I made the order over email, sending an example and color pallet I wanted, and it turned out better than the example picture I sent! The communication was quick and easy. The cake not only looked PERFECT it was delicious as well! Chocolate cake w cannoli filling and butter cream. As a joke we brought home the yarn balls for my dad, and he cut them open, we were super surprised there was rice crispies in the center and very tasty as well! I cannot recommend Creative cakes enough! And thank you to them for going above and beyond w this one! My mom & everyone, loved it! read more

I ordered the banana split cake. The cake was really good and the buttercream frosting was probably the best buttercream I ever had so light and not overly sweet like most buttercreams. The lady I spoke to regarding color etc was great she always responded quickly. (The decor was from me) read more

I have been going to this bakery for years and the cake is always delicious and the service is amazing. This is my go to bakery any the citrus torte is always a hit at any family gathering. The store is clean and always some delicious treats on hand if you want to just stop by and try anything. The macaroons are some of the best I've ever had and I like whipped cream vs buttercream but their buttercream is top tier. read more

Did not like the cupcakes. The frosting tasted bland and probably made from shortening. The cake was pretty bland as well . No flavor or sweetness noted. The cakes were decorated really well though. Too bad. read more

I usually don't leave reviews, but my experience with creative cakes was very frustrating. I filled out an inquiry form for my wedding cake and heard nothing back, so after a week I called to see if there was any progress in looking over the inquiry. The lady told me I probably filled out the form wrong because they never got it. I said no problem and filled out the form again. Never heard anything back. Poor communication, I will be moving on to other options for a wedding cake. read more

We have gotten many smaller cakes for celebrations, and all have been lovely. This was our first time ordering a full sheet cake for a party of about 100 people. This cake got rave reviews, and many at the party said it was the best cake they've ever had! What we love most about Creative Cakes is that the buttercream frosting is not too sweet! We normally love whipped cream frosting, but the buttercream here is almost like the best of both worlds! It does need to come to room temperature to be soft, but when it's soft it is divine! read more

Zero. I stood at the counter about an hour ago and could not get anyone to wait on me for at least 8 minutes, even though no one was in there, so I left. The cupcakes looked good, but kind of little and expensive at 3.55 each. read more

Best cake I've tasted in a long time. We ordered white buttercream/banana cake with cream cheese filling and it was a hit at our son's birthday party!

We came here for our wedding cake . Although our wedding is not until October, we are so over all pleased with our experience thus far with this bakery. Our wedding tasting was a take home followed up by a zoom meeting. We designed our own cake with our ideas and they were able to draw up exactly what we wanted. We are so pleased so far and I will come back and update once our weddings happen I would post a picture but I want it to be a surprise for when I update Update: everything went as planned and the service provided was beyond amazing. They called me a week before the wedding to finalize the plans and they brought what I had envisioned to life. Not to mention everyone is still telling me how great the cake was! Thank you so much creative cakes for being a part of what made my wedding day so special read more

Have been coming for years. I order at least 3-4 cakes per year and definitely visit weekly during packzi time. My last 2 visit have been poor, no selection and last time I went in to order a speciality cake for a birthday (one week out) I was ignored and told that they could not do speciality orders???? Recently saw a significant change in pricing. Unfortunately considering taking business elsewhere. Hope they go back to the old hospitality and great service they used to give. read more

Last week Thursday I stopped in to order a cake and the girl behind the counter told me they only take cake orders online. I went online Friday and put in my request including uploading a few cake pictures. They did not call me until five days later at which time I informed the young lady who called me that I had elected to order my cake from someone else. During my in person visit I did pick up a few miniature pastries. They were pricey and not something I felt I would make a return visit for. read more

Creative Cakes never disappoints. I use them anytime I need a specialty cake, they even made my wedding cake. This is the only place that I order from and I live about an hour away. For the people complaining about the price, sometimes they offer discount codes. I think you just have to call and ask. read more

Creative Cakes made our wedding cake and absolutely blew my expectations of what a wedding cake could be out of the water. Their tasting process was so simple - pick up a sampler of their cakes and buttercreams to take home and have at your own convenience. Their product was delicious and we had a hard time choosing what we wanted - ultimately went with a banana cake and white chocolate frosting. Working with their designers was so simple as well. The final product was exactly what we had envisioned and tasted even better than I remembered from our tasting. We still get compliments to this day on how good our cake was from our guests! I can't recommend the bakery enough. read more

What an overall wonderful experience! Ordered 2 photo cakes for a 75 and 80th birthday celebration. Both the Red Velvet and Strawberries with whipped cream cakes, were so moist and delicious! The birthday boy and girl were both brought to tears when they saw their photo cakes. I will definitely be recommending this bakery to others! Very prompt service, and professional service. I was in in and out in less than 5 minutes. read more

I don't trust myself to order another cake from this bakery. The cake is so light and moist. The frosting isn't too sweet. I couldn't get enough. My only regret is not getting the fresh strawberry filling. The strawberry mousse that I opted for didn't taste like anything. That was a bit disappointing. Everyone I interacted with (whether by email, phone or in the store) was so nice. Overall, really great experience. Give them a try. read more

One of the best cakes I've ever had for my birthday. I didn't think they would be able to recreate the cake I wanted from an inspiration photo. But they did! Not only did it look fabulous but it tasted fantastic. They are very professional and they were able to accommodate my dietary restrictions of no pork products or alcohol in the cake. I am very pleased and recommend them to everyone I know! Will be back to place more orders in The near future. Thanks creative cakes! read more

Best decorated cakes in the area, every time! I gave minimal instruction for "a tini bit older" cake & Creative Cakes made a more adorable version than what I imagined (or have seen on Instagram of this theme). Absolutely delicious, too!

I called to see about samples for a wedding cake and they were about to have one for me the very next day!! It's very nice inside and full of tasty desserts for anyone's guilty pleasure. I am looking forward to hearing the pricing and having my cake made by them. The samples are free as I presume they are so confident in their bakery you are sure to come back and place an order . They also have a dining area that is pained red with black accents that would be great for a party. Too bad they had to close the area of due to Covid... read more

Came in for a quick cake on the go. Everyone for the birthday party enjoyed how pretty and delicious the cake was. We got the Confetti cake.

Wow!! Absolutely obsessed with our wedding cake. I got married on 9/16 and I just have to say I was thrilled with the service. They are so easy to work with and I appreciate the time/effort from them when it came to putting in my order. Not only did I order a cake but decided to go with a dessert bar. It was hard to pick out exactly what we wanted for the bar but creative cakes helped me figure out exactly what i wanted and the quantity of each item. They really know what they are doing!

I used to live in Tinley for years and LOVE the baked goods here! I came into town to host a baby shower for my daughter and stopped into the bakery to pick up some cookies for the sweet table. I had my two adult daughters with me and we walked in about 3:40 on Saturday. We were so happy to pick out sweet treats... our happy mood was ruined by a very miserable girl who waited on us. I tried to keep it light and even mentioned my pregnant daughter to try and lighten the mood. That didn't work at all...she was completely rude straight faced and didn't even say thank u for my my purchase...I recall she had thick black eyeliner and needs to learn how to treat customers. CC made so many so cakes for my family when I lived here. I was so excited to come back to CC and left feeling beyond disappointed. read more

Creative Cakes Bakery - a wedding cake decorated with flowers - Bakeries Near Me - Tinley Park, Illinois

What better place to stop after picking up a duathlon race packet than a bakery? My thoughts exactly. The bakery space is bigger than you would guess just from seeing the outside. And to avoid any confusion, it's tucked in the corner of the strip mall next to AT&T. I like the prices here. Standard vanilla and choc cupcakes will run $1.35 and fancier, filled ones (like pina colada, raspberry lemonade, and white mousse filled red velvet) are only $1.65. With plenty of other sweet treats to choose from - brownies, bars, mini tarts, and cookies - I got a petit four with 2 cupcakes. The petit four was very marzipan heavy, overpowering the cake. Light and fluffy characterized the cake. Yum! I know buttercream is supposed to have butter in it, but it was too heavy in the frosting on the raspberry lemonade cupcake, and I actually didn't finish a glob of it. I'll come back when I'm in the area. read more

This review is very past due. I've had two cakes from this bakery, and I am extremely satisfied with not only the quality of the cakes, but also the customer service received. The bakery itself is very large and inviting. They have additional sweets (cookies, mini cakes) for purchase and well. Recently I picked up a graduation cake for my best-friend. After eating my birthday cake, she wanted her graduation cake from the bakery as well. She placed the order, and I was on pick up duty. A gentleman went and got the cake and showed it to me. In my opinion the cake looked a little empty (which is what my friend ordered). I didn't want to be the picky/judgmental person, yet he spoke up first and suggested the additional of a few buttermilk roses. I quickly agreed. He went and had a few roses added and the cake was perfect. He even carried it out to the car for me. My friend really liked it as well, and she was very appreciative that he suggested the roses. I've found my new lifetime bakery. read more
