Where to begin... We were coming in from out of town for a graduation and I needed desserts. I reached out and she immediately got back to me via text. Extremely responsive, helpful, suggestions were spot on and the cupcakes - DAMN - those cupcakes were so good! I promise to post pictures soon, but let me tell you, this girl and her crew can bake! She even delivered the cupcakes to our hotel as we didn't have a car or any way to get to her. I cannot say enough good things about this business and will gladly use them again whenever we are in Chicago! read more

Lucy baked us our wedding cake this past September! After another bakery failed to reserve our cake order in time for the celebration, Lucy made my dream cake come to life after giving her only 3 weeks notice! I could not have been happier with the artisty and the attention to detail. She even provided us with a complimentary anniversary cake with similar piping and lettering- it sits in my freezer and I can't wait to relive the flavor and memories of our wedding day. Thank you so much! read more

This lady makes fantastic cakes. We needed custom cakes made for my father-in-law's birthday party, and our usual spots of Le Sucre and Molly's were unavailable. After some research we decided to try Lucy's and she delivered an impressive set of cakes based on my wife's very specific specs. Her buttercream recipe is fantastic, truly light and flavorful. The sponge of the layer cake is perfectly medium density. Not as thick as Molly's cupcake batter and not as light as Mandy B's. Just right. We did a carrot flavor for one and then a lemon with raspberry compote for the other and the guests at the party were absolutely raving. We had professional cake maker as a guest too and he asked for Lucy's information after tasting the cake. My in-laws are "cake people" and get a cake every Sunday per family tradition so they've tried every cake in Chicagoland and even they were so happy about these cakes for my FIL's big 70th birthday. We are very grateful we found Lucy/Luz and we will for sure be using her in the future. read more

I can't recommend Lucy's Delights Bakery enough. I wanted to surprise my daughter with a custom designed heart shaped birthday cake. After calling a few bakeries that couldn't customize a cake or deliver or wanted to overcharge, I found Lucy. She asked me for a photo of what I had in mind, shared a menu of flavors, and couldn't have been sweeter --and her quote was far lower than others. On my daughter's birthday, she sent me a photo of her cake, which was prettier than the original photo I sent her, and she delivered the cake herself with extra candles. My daughter said the cake was "like a dream," the most gorgeous one she ever saw and the most delicious chocolate cake she ever tasted. And she's in art school and makes cake sculptures! Thank you Lucy! You're my new go-to for cake in Chicago. read more

I needed a cake for a "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" themed 42nd birthday party, with less than a week to put it together. The online order form is easy to fill out, and Luz contacted me the very next morning. She was able to make the order on somewhat short notice and was a joy to work with from beginning to end. The cake hit a home run with all of our guests, not only in how it looked, but how it tasted! read more

I would give Luz a hundred stars if I could! I ordered a beach themed cake for my Mother In Law's birthday. Luz made us the most delicious and beautiful cake you could event imagine. My mother in law was blown away by how beautiful the cake was - and let's just say, the cake for 14 was better suited to four of us because it was the best cake we have ever had and we could not put our forks down. Luz is also beyond lovely to work with. An overall wonderful human and immensely talented baker. My entire family are all already planning the cakes they want to order for their birthdays.

Outstanding service! Luz is so attentive, creative, committed. I ordered a special cake for my naturalization celebration. She gave me several creative options for the cake. I sent her pictures that she actually hand made them, as her printer was not working. She's detailed oriented. The cake came in a very delicate, but protective box. But, the best part was the taste. I thought I ordered a big and tall cake. It turned out people loved it. Several asked me her contact. I definitely recommend Lucy's Delight Bakery. Best experience ever. read more

All I can say is WOW!!! I had a specific situation where my previous baker was not able to get me the ordered cake due to COVID. I LAST MINUTE was scrambling and found Lucy, emailed her early in the morning, heard back in an hour or so, and she said "yes" to my request! In a few hours she had a complete idea and constructed it to the T for this amazing cake. She was so sweet, professional, accommodating, and attentive. The cake itself was also amazing. We choose vanilla cake with dulce de leche filling. Everyone at the party actually took the time to ask me where this cake was from because not only was it beautiful but it tasted so good. Everything was made by hand the balls on top were chocolate! I will 100% use her again and tell my friends to use Lucy, as I have never had a better and easier custom cake experience. Thank you again for making his night great and giving us something really special! read more

The mousse cups were a big hit coming in flavors like matcha, tiramisu, and mango. The mochi donuts came in chocolate, strawberry, ube, chocolate, and oreo.

We allocated about 2 items per person but because of all the flavors, guests were taking more like 3-4. We chose the mango mousse cake and they were able to create a two-tiered cake but the cake itself (and frosting) is very soft so only two tiers would work. The cake was delicious day of! Although as they warned us, it did get soft being on display for a few hours. We had a really simple decor of some dried fruit which they added for us which also got soft on the cake that we didn't anticipate lol, but it still tasted delicious!

I contacted Lucy's Delights Bakery for some Harry Potter themed cupcakes for my daughter in law for her Birthday. We made contact by text and she responded quickly. She gave me some ideas and quoted prices. We set a date and time for me to pick them up. The cupcakes did not disappoint! They were fabulous!!! Every detail of Harry potter was presented including the Gryffindor motif, down to the sorting hat and Golden Snitch!! The taste of the cupcake itself was light, decadent and not overpowering with sugary icing which by the was also very delicate. the creamy center of the cupcake was indeed buttery and light in texture. I have not had cupcakes like this since my childhood. I am highly recommending that you try it for yourself!! The price was reasonable for such stellar work!!!

You can tell how truly passionate she is about cake and making sure all of her clients have the best experience possible.

We decided with a chocolate cake with chocolate fudge on one side, and a white cake with vanilla icing on the other side, these sides separated by the Italian buttercream. I will be dreaming about her Italian buttercream for the rest of my life. As a dessert connoisseur, I had high expectations for my wedding cake, and this cake exceeded them. The chocolate side was rich and the perfect amount of sweet. You could really taste the true chocolate flavors. The white cake was exceptional as well, with a perfect sweet vanilla frosting. The Italian buttercream was buttery, smooth, and truly the perfect middle divide for the cake as it matched both sides very well. I really have not tasted a better wedding cake and our guests were obsessed with the cake too so that just goes to show how quality and incredible the cake it.

4.5/5: Super easy to get a custom cake! They responded so quickly to my email request…read more My cake was the 3 tier, 6 inch cake: Blueberry Pancake cake, Vanilla icing, Maple Buttercream filling. Blueberry Pancake is really good; I would recommend getting the maple buttercream filling for the full pancake vibe, otherwise it tastes like a blueberry muffin. My only negative is the buttercream filling was thicker than the cake itself -- wish there was more cake than frosting, but it wasn't overly sweet so no biggie. They made it exactly how the Inso picture was. Really appreciate how they advised me to lighten the color bc it would be too bitter and would oxidize. The cake was a little under $80! Huge steal compared to other bakeries. Store is super clean and nice, so many option from when I came to pickup at 9 am.

Absolutely delicious! The cupcakes are so good. I love the Cookie one but they all are worth trying.read more

A new food truck in Chicago offering macarons? Sweet spot hit confirmed. Sweet Spot Macarons is a…read morenew food truck that recently opened offering my favorite pastry of all time. Not to be confused with the coconut pastry spelled macaroons, these are French macarons that are made from egg whites and almond powder where the outside is flaky and the inside is chewy. For a $1.50 each, they are priced right where you would expect to pay anywhere else for a macaron. After first glance, I immediately noticed that these were significantly larger than most macarons. Whoever said too much of a good thing is definitely not a foodie. With macarons, size does matter and I was enjoying each additional bite. I ordered 10 of their pistachio and they were all gone within the hour. I appreciated that each was individually wrapped - almost as if it was your own personal delight. What surprised me the most was the follow up. I initially emailed them asking if they were coming to the Merchandise Mart area when they first launched and I received an email on Friday stating that they were outside of my work. Not only did they remember to come to the area but they also emailed me letting me know that they were here. Thank you, Sweet Spot! Want them to come to your area?

What really stood out to us though was how amazing Bria was with all the allergies we had. She had to go out of her way to create a completely new recipe to handle the restrictions, and not only did she take it seriously, she came up with multiple delicious recipes that we ended up selecting three flavors instead of just one. She was also so genuinely enthusiastic throughout the process, working with us to mix and mash different designs until we arrived at the cake of our dreams. We would select her again every single time, and we probably will be contacting her for cakes for smaller occasions in the future.

She worked with us at our tasting to sketch a design based on an inspiration photo, but made it truly custom by incorporating fresh floral and a design element from our venue. We received so many compliments on both flavors (banana cake with nutella filling and vanilla cake with raspberry buttercream and raspberry preserves). Bria is kind, funny and so easy to work with!
