Catered out wedding cake and cupcakes from Milette's cakes and it was beyond delicious and amazing. We went back today for our wedding anniversary and the staff and service was beyond phenomenal. We will definitely be coming back and referring to all our friends and family. Thank you for everything we really appreciate it read more

I placed an order for a cake with 10 days' notice, but had to cancel the very next day after finding out the bakery is closed on Sundays -- the exact day I needed the cake. This information was never mentioned during the ordering process. When I requested a full refund, I was told they could not refund the taxes "by law," even though no service was ever provided. I was also told the $30 tip could not be refunded because it is given to employees immediately. I understand tipping for a service, but it does not make sense to lose a $30 tip simply for writing down an order that was canceled the next day. On top of that, refunds are not returned to the original credit card and are only issued by check. I just want to make other customers aware before placing an order. Think carefully before placing an order because if you have to cancel for any reason, they still want to charge you regardless. read more

I never had my dream wedding cake because we weren't wealthy enough to get a Professional one. I had humble expectations for this 3-tiered antique cake. It was supposed to be Top: Chocolate cake with Banana Curd filling, Middle: Lemon Raspberry cake (Raspberries baked into the Lemon cake, an inflated "Specialty") w/ Lemon Curd filling, Bottom: Rainbow Vanilla cake (an inflated "Specialty") w/ Pastry Cream filling. The cake arrived frozen. So, the entire day, in fact? It was that frozen like a rock where we literally had to chew it. The flavors? DISGUSTING! I begged them to do Banana Curd, they agreed. They did Banana Pastry Cream, instead. They do not like suggestions. Their ingredients list said that one of their "Specialties" was "Lemon Raspberry". Now? This middle tier was straight up "Lemon", NO "RASPBERRIES BAKED IN", WHATSOEVER. They claimed that they were going to "bake Raspberries into it" so I said, that's fine because then it would be "Lemon Raspberry". It was not. I'm going to attach a picture of how many raspberries were in this cake. There were maybe 2. I don't know how you screw up Chocolate cake with Banana Curd that I had to twist their arm to do that they went ahead & did Banana Pastry Cream, regardless. It was beyond embarrassing! The only "ok" flavor & I do mean "ok", was the Vanilla & that's only because I love Vanilla any thing! The up-charge for a Vanilla Rainbow cake is insane, but they put so much Pastry Cream in it? No one could even enjoy that! This cake was supposed to arrive at 1PM. It did not arrive until 1:30PM. It arrived solid as a rock while we were ready to eat it! It took hours to get a knife through it while I had guests here! I don't know if it was because it was frozen that it tasted so bad? But, it was horrid & a challenge to our teeth. So, I waited alll day until 9PM to try the bottom, Vanilla Rainbow, my favorite. It hurt my teeth it was so sweet! And, it was still frozen! It looks pretty just because I gave them a picture to copy! My dream cake still exists. This cake is not it. They did not do Banana Curd. They lied to me & did what they wanted. A layer of Pastry Cream through the Rainbow Vanilla would've been ideal, but they put a layer of Pastry Cream through each & every single color of the Rainbow cake which they also Specialized in & charged more for to do! THICK LAYERS! THICKER THAN EACH CAKE LAYER! It is so sweet, I never thought I'd say this about my favorite flavor, but what were they thinking? It hurt my teeth! I'll upload a picture of that, also? Ridiculous. They ruined the Vanilla! Let me show you how much "RASPBERRY" is in "Lemon Raspberry" cake w/ Lemon Curd filling. Also? The Buttercream on here is so thick? It is the majority of the cake. The cake falls out of it! The Vanilla Rainbow with Pastry Cream between every single color was so unnecessary. HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT! Here is a picture of the "Lemon Raspberry" Cake! Just look at the attached photo if you want an example of what a disaster it is! It is DREADFUL! As was the rest of the entire cake! That pink thing in the middle of the cake? It is a straw. There's 2. 2 raspberries lol. We paid a grand for this. The woman who took my flavors was snobby & not open to anything but strictly their ingredients which are basic. She rushed me into it all. I really wanted Lemon Raspberry! There was no "Raspberry"! You couldn't even taste the Banana! They lied to me & told me they'd do Banana Curd so I could taste the Banana! You cannot go wrong w/ Chocolate Banana, Lemon Raspberry or Vanilla! They did! They did so wrong? I didn't keep any for myself & gave it all away. I wasn't having a party. Only close friends & family over throughout the day, but it was frozen the entire day! It was embarrassing! I wanted a refund. They refused, then banned me, as if I'd ever be back!? They are bad business! If they had offered a partial refund or another cake? This review would be different. Instead? They scoffed at me. Charged fee after fee & upcharge after upcharge for flavors they didn't achieve! NOT PROFESSIONAL! read more

I bought three cupcakes white chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry shortcake. They were all very pretty. However, I didn't love the flavor of any of them. It could be a preference thing. They were buttercream and had frosting in the middle. The flavor was more subtle or it didn't keep very well when I ate them the next day. They also had a variety of other desserts that looked delicious and beautiful cakes displayed in their windows. read more

We ordered a 70 serving cake for our baby shower from Milette's for the first time, and it most definitely won't be our last for special events! We had a simple design but it was still beautifully done. Usually when cakes look beautiful the taste can be mediocre, but the cake tasted amazing as well. I do think there could've been more fresh strawberries inside the cake, but the cake itself was delicious and very moist. Love that they offer ube flavored buttercream as well. I communicated with Bea via email the entire time and she was very prompt in her responses and made planning easy. Thanks for our beautiful baby shower cake Milette's! read more

I called this business needing a cake on short turnaround. I was told they could absolutely do it and they asked me to text inspiration photos. I did text the photos to the number they provided which was verified by the store. I never heard anything back so I decided to send an email. I explained that I had texted the pictures and would send them again. I called the store and they confirmed I was using the correct phone number. Still nothing. Then I sent the picture via email. The response I got was "I am sorry we are fully booked" and "my phone could not receive texts last week" Funny I texted last week AND this week. DON'T DO BUSINESS HERE! read more

I wanted to order a dozen cupcakes from their specialty menu and they told me I could only order two dozen minimum. Very disappointed.

Had a 2 Good To Go order to pu, which the business setup for today. When I called because they were closed, I was told oh sorry. While I love that they participate in the program, what a mess......I drove 20 minutes each way to try this bakery. Wasted time, money and now have to get my money back from the app. -I'll stick to Area 51 bakery, their owners are amazing and super kind. read more

I've been wanting to try them out for awhile, and finally had the chance to do it for my son's first bday. They're pretty pricey so I knew I wanted to do it for a milestone. I was pretty hesitant bc their cupcakes were just ok. But they did not disappoint w/ the cake! We had a marble cake with raspberry filling, and chocolate buttercream. When they showed me the final product I was super impressed! And when we actually tasted it, it was delicious too! BUTTERCREAM CAKE, 15 SERVINGS, 1 TIER, FONDANT LEAVES totaled to $158.68. read more

OMG!!! This is a gem hidden in plain sight. I had my entire conversation online only with Milett's. I found them through Yelp, of course! All the great reviews of Yelpers made me select them for a birthday party! I initially called them to start the cake ordering process and then everything was over email from start to finish. They make the cake exactly per your instructions and are actually surprised by the quality of their work. I was totally taken aback when I saw the final outcome. I only visited their place to go pick up the ordered cake. They are a lovely little place in the middle of Plainfield IL historic downtown. You have to either park on the main road or park a couple blocks away and walk to the store. I recommend the latter because you get a glimpse of the downtown as well. It is such a wonderful place. They are located on the main road and there are seats available for sitting down. To my knowledge there is no outdoor seating, but I could be wrong because I didn't focus on looking for it. Overall, I am much much impressed and this is a go to place from now on for any party. Oh, not to.forget how the cake tastes - delicious!!! It stayed moist even after a week after the party. The taste is amazing. read more

I tried visiting this bakery a few times, and always found it closed. Today, I happened to be driving past it to somewhere she and found it open and stopped by - and boy am I glad that I did. This place is well-loved, it seems and thus does not require too much praise one way or another. The staff was courteous and polite, and helped answer my questions. Being that this place was winner on Food Network, I had high expectations. Here's what I ordered: two cupcakes, and a banana bread cake/bar. The cupcakes were both moist and tasted good. What was disappointing for me was the icing on both. Texture-wise, the icing on both was the heavy, dense and didn't quite have much of a lightness to it. One of the cupcakes was the Pink Champagne cupcake - I was disappointed in the cupcake overall, but the strawberries hidden within the cupcake itself was a delightful and yummy surprise. In any case, I'd much rather a "wedding cake" cupcake from Smallcakes. The other cupcake I had was the Mango Cupcake, and again, in addition to the icing being dense and very much resembling grocery store cupcake icing in taste, it was the flavor I had an issue with. The mango flavor seemed too...how should I say this? Too artificially flavored? Yeah, that's it. All in all, these cupcakes were basic at best, and still quite steep in price. The redeeming item, worth every praise I could give, and thus resulting in 3 stars was the Banana Bread Cake/Bar. This thing was absolutely delightful. A brick of yummy goodness. The top is sort of crusty, and the bottom is slightly crunchier like overcooked cake (but it's not overcooked), and the middle is yummy, delicate banana bread with nuts. Absolutely well balanced in flavor, and definitely light and airy. Will DEFINITELY be going back for this item! read more

Another amazing cake from Milette's! We ordered a rainbow birthday cake for my daughters 3rd birthday party. I knew it would look amazing but the taste was even better than I remember. We chose buttercream this year so that might have amped it up. We had a Milette's cake for her 1st birthday that needed to be fondant. I was happy to be able to do buttercream this time. It's so much better and Milette's version did not disappoint! Everyone kept remarking at how moist and delicious the cake was and it was just a multicolored vanilla flavor. I provided pictures of what I wanted and even changed the cake almost completely at the last minute. They were very patient and accommodating. The finished cake was exactly how I imaged. Delivery was also right on time. We had a little left over that I refrigerated. I took it to work two days later and everyone loved it there as well. I also think they are more competitively priced compared to other bakeries in the same league. Milette's is pretty far from us but definitely worth the delivery charge! read more

I have ordered my wedding cake and cupcakes for various occasions. My favorite is their carrot cake cupcakes. Delicious!

I booked our wedding cake order through Milette's cakes. And I have to say, it was the most delicious cake I have ever tasted in all of my life! Not only was it beautiful, but it was like heaven on my tongue. All of my guests were shocked at how delicious these cupcakes and the cake topper turned out. They delivered to the venue, set it up beautifully, and made this bride so happy with how gorgeous the display looked. I definitely definitely recommend! Bonus, the pricing was perfect too! read more

After finding this bakery on Yelp, I decided to send an email to price out a cake for my son's first birthday. I received a reply and call the next day. I spoke to a lovely lady named Krish. She was superb at working with me with what I wanted. My son's birthday was less than a week away. (11/4) I ordered a 2 tier chocolate and vanilla cake with chocolate buttercream filling and opted for it to be frosted in buttercream frosting instead of fondant, not a big fan of fondant taste wise. I sent over a picture of what I wanted and she gave me a price. The price was beyond reasonable I was very happy. Day of party my cake was delivered with impeccable timing and I was super extatic when I opened the box! I also received a complimentary smash cake for my son which was amazing! The cakes were perfectly decorated and beautiful. They tasted pretty good too. Service, price and delivery deserves 10 stars! I gave 4 stars only for the taste of the actual cake, I felt it was a little dry and the flavor of the chocolate cake didn't shine through. Over all I was very pleased with the service, communication and final product from this bakery and everyone thought the cake was amazing! I do recommend them and will use them for future events! Thank you Krish for you amazing customer service! read more

Ordered a unicorn cake and cupcakes for my daughter's 6th birthday. Customer service was great. The cake was delivered well before the delivery time. I asked for butter cream instead of fondant. The cake not only looked beautiful but it tasted great as well, it was moist and tasty! The butter cream was not overly sweet which was so appreciated and very hard to come by. It was a hit with the kids and the adults. I got so many compliments on this cake. I will definitely be using them again! read more

DO NOT USE THEM FOR WEDDINGS. Horrible to communicate with, terrible service, ignored our requests entirely. We got different answers every time we spoke to them, it was impossible to plan/design with them as none of the employees knew what was going on. Despite countless emails and pictures explaining what we wanted...our cake was hideous. For example, we gave them gold baby's breath to spread through the tiers and they shoved the whole bunches into the top tier like antlers, none on the other tiers. They also acted like they had no record of us after paying our deposit and we had to fight to even get them to acknowledge that we existed in their system. I payed an outrageous price that I'm embarrassed to even admit for basically a children's craft project they called a cake. If you only care about flavor, go for it. But if you want a cake that's also beautiful, stay away. I've never had to leave a review like this one, but I don't want anyone else to regret such a big purchase like we do. All our other vendors were amazing, we're so disappointed! read more

We've gotten a few cakes from Milette's at this point, and they're all fantastic! The cakes are so decadent, yet delicate and delicious. This is nothing like a grocery store cake. But this time, my husband ordered a cake for my birthday and just told them to go with "desert colors" for decoration and this is what they made. It's GORGEOUS! I had no idea he was even getting me a cake but when he brought this home on my birthday, I gasped!! It's even more beautiful in person, with this beautiful sparkling gold detailing all around. This absolutely made me entire day. I have also ordered my sons birthday cake for next week and they've been so great to work with. Highly recommend! read more

I had a bad experience with this bakery on 2/11/17. I've read great reviews about this bakery and I figured, what better place to order my brothers surprise birthday cake? I went to the bakery about a week or two ago to check it out and get an estimate. I showed the lady at the desk a picture of the cake I wanted. I think her name was Laura and she was VERY kind and helped me with the specific instructions for my cake order. I received a phone call from Laura about 5 days later for the estimate and agreed to proceed with the cake order. My pick-up time was at 3pm yesterday. As I was already on my way to the bakery I get a phone call from Laura to pick up the cake at 4 (my SURPRISE party started at 5). I agreed and drove back home to only come back to the bakery at 4 and find out the cake still wasn't ready! The front desk ladies said that the baker was doing last minute touches on the cake and that it should be done soon...I waited 30 MINUTES!! When I finally got the cake, I was very disappointed because it was not what I ordered. I wanted my cake to look EXACTLY like the picture I gave them. 1. Captain America was supposed to have red and white stripes on his side of the cake 2. Spiderman was supposed to have a spider web on his side of the cake 3. Ironman's helmet was supposed to be on the top of the cake while his chest emblem was supposed to be on the side of the cake. 4. Hulk was supposed to have the brick wall on his side of the cake. The baker admitted to not fully reading my cake instructions and instead did HULK's brick wall around the entire cake. Also, I wanted a vanilla cake with strawberry filling. The cake was vanilla with NO strawberry filling. Ironman's emblem on the cake looked like it was rushed through becaue the design did not look clean when I got a good look later on. I will not be coming back to this bakery!! read more

They made a cake for me and delivered. The cake was decent and was delivered in time. I am giving them 2 stars because of a huge lack of communication and not following through to the directions I provided. I wanted a designed custom cake and I provided them with photos and examples. I wanted to have a conversation about what they might be able to accomplish, and what might be too hard to do. But they would take 2 days to respond to every email. I wanted a finalized idea of what the cake will be like, but they just sent it out without confirming the details. At the end, the cake didn't turn out the way I wanted. I believe they can do a good job, but they're over booked. At the end I asked for a photo of my cake and they said they're busy so they will send it later in the day, but it's been 3 days and I still haven't received the photo. I of course got it from the people I sent the cake to. Over all, I think they should improve their communication as that is what makes everything stress free and more of what a customer wants. read more

I wanted to love Milettes. I had heard so many great things about the Cakes I decided to give them a try for my daughters first birthday. I called and never got an answer, so I decided to email. I got a response and after some really confusing email exchanges I ordered an egg free smash cake. The lack of consistency in the emails should have been enough for me to not order but I really wanted a cute cake for my daughter so I went through with it anyways. I was first told an egg free smash cake for my daughter would be $20. Then when I decided not to get the big cake it increased to $25. Fine, what's $5 in the long run. I also ordered a fondant cheetah with leaves for $28, bringing my total to $53. I paid the $20 deposit and ordered my cake. This was in mid May. Fast forward to the week of my daughters birthday, July 4. I get an email from Milettes stating they'll use buttercream frosting (which was already finalized in May) and that the cake price would be $78 for the cake and $25 for the fondant cheetah. Umm... no. We already finalized the order. I quickly respond with the finalized cake details from May. I then get a call that the person who finalized my order made a mistake and egg free smash cakes are actually usually $45. I tell them no that's not what I agreed upon. They ask if I'll compromise at $35. At this point her birthday is in 5 days... so I do it because I don't have the energy to find a new cake in 4 days. Ok so we pick up the cake for the new price of $35 for the cake and $28 for the Cheetah... the cake looks good. Now for the cake smashing..... 1. The cake is hard as a ROCK. 2. It's gross. Absolutely no flavor. My daughter won't eat it, clearly thinks its gross as well because she eats everything. 3. The cake is like 1/16 cake and the rest is frosting. I didn't pay $35 for a pile of frosting... See picture below of cake cut. Fast forward to July 11... my husband wants to talk to Milettes and figure this out. He calls, no one answers. He goes there. They're closed, fine, he decides he'll try again tomorrow. July 12... he calls, multiple times, no one answers. He goes there. Someone is there. He says he'd like to discuss this cake, which he has with him. The guy makes him wait outside the store. After an hour of waiting... he finally gets to talk to someone. The guy says there is nothing wrong with this cake, it's delicious. He says he will refund the order. Then he backtracks and says oh it taste bad because it's eggless. But a second ago he said nothing was wrong with it?? So finally he refunds the price of just that cake, minus the Cheetah. Needless to say, I will not be ordering from this place again. Their unprofessionalism alone is enough to not order again, but the fact that the cake was inedible really does this place in. read more

I live in San Diego but I have a friend who lives in Plainfield. Two times already I ordered over the phone from them and had them deliver my orders to my friend and her family. The first time they delivered donuts to my friend's husband (a cop) after his surgery. They also included a note per my request. My friend's husband and the whole family loved the donuts! Donuts were $.99 each and delivery was $20. Can't complain! Second time was 2 days ago. My friend just had a surgery and mentioned to me she was in pain. Of course I rushed to get her something to make her feel better. This time I ordered cupcakes and asked them to deliver. I paid over the phone, they sent me a copy of my receipt via text, and texted me when the order was delivered. Once again, they included a note with my order (per my request). Cupcakes were $3.50 each, and delivery was $20. I don't know about IL but for San Diego they are reasonably priced. I couldn't have asked for better. I would call them again if I need to get my friend something. My only complaint is that their website is not very well organized and there are no photos of the things they are selling. Probably not a big deal if you are in town but for folks like me crazy to order over the phone their website is a pain. I can't really see what I am ordering. For example, their website doesn't even mention donuts. I figured out over the phone that they made donuts. I ordered without really knowing what I was ordering. I asked them to pick their best sellers. Same with the cupcakes. But oh well... they still did good and my friend loved what they made. Great customer service, great products. I like. 5 stars from me! read more
