After graduation we picked it up and headed home to celebrate our grad and when we opened the box we were all so excited and delighted to not only see the nice lettering but also that they had adorned the cake with a grad cap...what a nice touch! AND it gets even better...the taste of the cake was delicious!

The marzipan cookie with toasted almonds on top made me stop talking for a moment and consider not sharing. The texture, the almond flavor, and the toasted almond were all unmatched. The test that mattered most came from my friend's mother, who had just landed from Tehran and approached the cake with the same scrutiny she brings to anything meant to resemble the desserts she grew up with. She attempted to find a flaw. She takes a bite of the Bibi Nescafe cake, said it was the same, said it was not, repeated the comparison, and could not believe herself. She finished it confused and could not find a reason not to liked it. For anyone familiar with Persian baking standards, that sequence functions as a reliable endorsement. ChixCakes is impossible to find. Their website does not mention Chicago, almond cookies, walnut cookies, or Persian cakes, and it doesn't show up in a search engine unless you already know their name. It's like you need to know someone to find them. My friend, who knew they existed, still spent twenty minutes trying to locate them online without success.

Hi, my name is Sonny and I'm a Chocoholic. I'm constantly…read morelooking for the best, moistest chocolate cake. And ever since I don't work downtown anymore, I needed to search the northwest burbs for the best chocolate cake. There was always this franchise (Portillo's) that served their famous chocolate cakes by the slice. It was moist and really good. And they remained the best one for such a long time since I really couldn't find any worthy competitors around the northwest burbs, until I saw this tiny shop along Waukegan road-Ganache Bakery. I had to go inside and see what they havd to offer. The word Ganache alone was enough for me to seek em out. Lo and behold, they had Chocolate Cake with ganache icing inside! It was soft and moist and melted in your mouth! I was in heaven! Finally, a place I knew would supply me with the best chocolate cake worthy of any grand celebration. Unfortunately, after the third and fourth purchase, I noticed that it didn't taste the same as the first time we had it. It wasn't as light as the initial experience. It was actually a bit heavier, more dense. It was still moist but, it just wasn't the same anymore. Oh well, the search is back on.
