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!

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!

Milette's Cake you did it again!!! A year later you did your thang on our 1st anniversary cake and it tasted great and super moist!!! Thank you again!!!

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.

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.

Milette's Cakes is seriously the best! My favorite desserts to name a few... - Lemon bars (any of her bars) - Ube cake pops - Pistachio cake with raspberry filling - Sansrival bites Quality desserts by the finest! See some photos of cakes I've ordered from Milette's! #perfection

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!
