Lovin Oven Cakery

The cake was incredible. We gave Sarah the fake flowers and a photograph and she came up with a work of art. The cake tasted as great as it looked. Got lots of comments on how good the cake was.

I was concerned about finding a bakery that could execute the design we chose for our wedding cake. We had never seen anything like it before!
We went into Lovin Oven to do a sampling and the cakes and fillings we tried were so delicious that we decided we werent even going to try anyone else!
I showed Sarah the picture of he cake and she assured me they could make it.

I was still nervous when we got to the reception hall but when we walked in and we saw our cake we were so impressed! It looked just like the picture! it was absolutely beautiful, and it was so moist and delicious! We...

Our wedding cake was BEAUTIFUL!

The only downfall is that Lovin' Oven requires you to go to their bakery for a tasting....we live in Schaumburg and the bakery is over an hour away. We had to travel there in rush hour which made it even worse.

However, the cake was fantastic and the bakery is super...

Our cake was the hit of the wedding! We kept hearing "what a beautiful wedding....where did you get that CAKE?!" It was so unique and beautifully designed, and the taste.....incredible! We had red velvet with a vanilla buttercream filling, and it was absolutely divine! I think that may have upstaged everything else! We loved working with Sara Nicoline, and she was so patient with us as we tasted all the cakes, and hemed and hawed over the design. She was so helpful when we made changes, and was a lifesaver when there was a conflict with our reception venue for the delivery time! We appreciate all that Lovin Oven did for us in making our day special! They absolutely were the icing on the cake!

Lovin Oven Bakery made a beautiful and delicious wedding cake for us! We highly recommend Lovin Oven to anyone that is looking for a delicious and beautiful cake! We also ordered a cake through them for our rehearsal dinner. It was also perfect! Thanks Lovin Oven Bakery!!

Um what can I say? Our cupcakes were DELICIOUS and kept for about a week afterwards. THey did everything we asked!

Looked great and tasted better. They nailed it and all we had to do was come and taste it, pick the flavors and design. Rest was all coordinated with our wedding locations. The easiest vendor to work with ever.

We had a red velvet 3 layer with cream cheese in the middle with buttercream icing on our wedding cakes. It was the BEST! Many bakeries only want to do red velvet cupcakes, but Lovin Ovens was amazing, the other places we tried were ok,but overly sweet frosting or dry cake. I have also tried other things from their bakery and it is always the best.

We used Lovin Oven Cakery for our wedding cake. The wedding coordinator is so responsive and very easy to work with. We were amazed by the selection and quality of the cakes. Our cake was absolutely beautiful and exactly what we asked for. I would highly recommend them!

The cake looked awesome and fit in with my theme. It was delicious!!

I had a deal with the hotel I booked with, Doubletree, and my cake was included in the price per person we paid at the venue. But I had the option of going to Lovin' Oven or the Oak Mill Bakery. I called both to try and make appointments to come in for a tasting and Oak Mill couldn't see me for almost 2 months. Lovin' Oven was able to accommodate me much quicker. Also- Oak Mill said they would charge me for a 4-person tasting and Lovin' Ovens was free- we had 5 people.

Once there it was easy to see they were going to be our choice, even without going to Oak Mill. The cake choices were moist and delicious, the fillings were very tasty, and the options for what I wanted were basically endless. Because of the size of my wedding I was in between a 3 tier and a 4 tier and they simply said, do the 4-tier, it doesn't cost you anything and then you're sure to have enough cake. They had options of shape, frosting style, decorations, etc. They could do something from their book or could use a picture you had for inspiration. We basically created my cake right there using a mixture of different pictures of cakes I liked. It was so easy and it turned out so beautiful!

The day after the wedding I had to ask around to make sure both styles of cake- we had chosen a chocolate for half and a vanilla for the other half- were really served because I couldn't ever remember seeing the chocolate. It disappeared so fast! Everyone I spoke with said the cake was delicious! I know I loved it!

In addition- I have friends and family who live in the area and go to Lovin' Oven for all their cake needs, Birthday or whatever else. Everyone I know loves Lovin' Oven.

Our cake was part of our wedding package so as far as the price goes - we are unsure. The cake tasted so great and looked even better! We had 4 layers - we had each of the 3 layers the day of the wedding. It was so moist and delicious. The design was awesome! We had a theme throughout the wedding and brought in color and design samples and pretty much told the decorators to just use their imagination - it turned out AMAZING! They did such a great job making it really fit with our whole wedding. They were so laid back and easy to work with! Thank you!

Lovin Oven Cakery provided the cake and cupcakes at my daughter’s summer wedding. The top tier wedding cake looked amazing and was just what the bride/groom had envisioned. The cupcake colors coordinated perfectly with the wedding theme colors. And best of all, everything was delectable! Best cake I ever had! Fortunately, there were leftover cake and cupcakes so we could eat more the next day. The reception was held at Kemper Lakes Golf Club. Kemper and Lovin Oven work together to create your perfect wedding cake(s). The Kemper coordinator discussed cake designs and colors with the bride/groom and we had the cake tasting at Kemper. Everything was coordinated perfectly. Thank you Lovin Oven for the best wedding cake and cupcakes!

We love this bakery. The cakes, desserts, and all items are always delicious. Our only draw back was that our tasting cake was a little stale. Our suggestion would be to find out when their cakes are made for tastings and plan your meeting accordingly. We went with our gut of red velvet and cream cheese and were completely satisfied on wedding day, and the week following!

Our wedding cake was amazing! Lovin Oven did a great job with the design that my husband and I wanted and the cake tasted so good! I also had a Blackhawks cake made for my husband and it was perfect. Our wedding party loved the banana fudge cake. I highly recommend Lovin Oven.

Lovin Oven did our rehearsal dinner & wedding cake and cookie favors for our guests, and they did an amazing job on everything! We got a cake 'free' with our wedding vendor, went there for the tasting, were NOT impressed, and then decided to pay the upcharge for Lovin Oven. It was totally worth it! They were very patient in working with us and the cake/s looked and tasted fantastic. Lots of compliments on the cakes and cookie favors as well. So glad we entrusted Lovin Oven with such a special day - we highly recommend them for ANY occasion!

After Having a bad experience at another bankery Lovin Oven took the cake. They made the experience amazing from the tasting and helping design the cake and providing a picture of how it would look. They were free flexable and helpful and wanted to make sure everything was perfect for our wedding day. The price was very affordable and worth every penny.
The day of the wedding everyone ate the cake and even tried to get seconds. The cake was amazing! I had two pieces the day of our wedding day. They also did our favors which were cookies with a picture log of cubs and sox. The cookies were also delicisous and the picture was exactly what we wanted.

Our wedding cake was delicious, but we had a mixed experience. We ordered a red velvet cake with cream cheese filling, but nobody could tell it was cream cheese because the buttercream/fondant outer layer was overpowering. We actually thought the cake had been made incorrectly. The scrolling on our cake was also not what we had asked for.

After bringing this to Lovin Oven's attention, they asked for our top tier to examine it and compensated us in return. They were sincerely apologetic and worked hard to rectify the situation. They said they would talk to their designer about the scrolling and would look at their cream cheese recipe.

We initially rated them as a 1 based on our disappointment with the filling, but their customer service in solving the issue was outstanding and the cake was still amazing.

As a second-time older bride with a small wedding on a wintery Sunday, I wanted something unique, victorian, classy and classic, and Lovin Oven designed and delivered a spectacular cake, and a delicious sweets table! Yum!

Our cake was amazing! It was beautiful and tasted delicious. We had red velvet with french silk filling and it was really good. They designed the cake that we wanted down to the smallest detail. YUM!

The cake was beautiful and delicious. No complaints.

Lovin Oven makes wonderful cakes and the customer service was amazing. We live out of town so had to do much of our planning via email but Sara was very accomodating, friendly and flexible. When we were in town, we got to try some of their tasty options. They handled our cake, grooms cake and extra chocolate chip cookies I wanted without any problems or complications. Wonderful! :-)

Sara was really nice to work with. They were willing to create the design we had in mind for our cake and it turned out beautiful. Everyone said how much they enjoyed the cake! I had an issue with the filling but Sara was quick to address my concerns and offer a remedy.

Gorgeous decorating - we added colors and they were perfect. We also purchased a groom's cake which they designed and decorated to mirror Busch Stadium - WOW - what an great job.

I had used them for my shower. They even allowed a cake testing! The princess cake I had made with marble and fudge filling was to die for. I was so impressed. We bought their red velvet and regular cupcakes while were there and fell in love. I know stop in regularly for their treats. They do have a whole wedding side as well. But I already had that booked. I really do recommend them!

Absolutely the BEST cake around!

Amazing tasting cakes...
Our wedding cake was absolutely gorgeous. When served it was still very moist and tasted very fresh. The moose fillings are to die for.
Since the cakes tasting in February, my family has had several "family parties" and we have only ordered our cakes from there, once you taste the cake there, you will never order anywhere else again, they are slightly pricey but so worth it!

The cake was so wonderful at our wedding. We were so sad because we only got to have it when we cut the cake, we didn't get actual slices. So instead of freezing our top tier we ate it the week following the wedding. It was so worth not freezing it! It was awesome!!! We shared it with our family and they wish that they had ate more at the wedding as well. I highly recommend it and if you get married at Independence Grove in Libertyville your cake is from Lovin Oven and is included in the cost of the wedding.

Our cake was provided by Lovin' Oven through Chevy Chase. I stopped by once, a few weeks prior to the wedding, picked out the flavors I wanted, showed, them my colors and some pictures ot cakes I liked, and they took it from there. It was a very simple process, and Sara was in contact with me with any questions she had. The cake turned out beautifully, and very tasty (coming from someone that is not really a sweets person, I really enjoyed it :-)).

If you want a cake done right, go to Lovin Ovens! Most creative group around!

The cake was great, many people commented on how good it was. We had a relatively traditional tiered cake, but my wife and I brought in a picture of a cake we had seen online to Lovin' Oven and they did an amazing job making our cake look just like the one in the picture. We also got Met and Cub baseball cap cakes for the rehearsal dinner from Lovin' Oven, and they came out amazingly too (though they were less traditional).

The cake was so gorgeous, my uncle thought it was a cardboard "fake" and poked it with his finger as a joke, only to find (to his surprise) his knuckle covered in frosting! The cake was absolutely beautiful and tasted amazing. People were begging for seconds!

Yum! I can't attest much to the value for cost, etc, because the venue where I had my wedding coordinated all those details with them directly, but my then-fiancee and I went in for our cake tasting, and they were very professional and gave us a delicious tasting! My husband picked out a pound cake with strawberry filling, which was absolutely delicious! I was nervous about the cherry blossoms I wanted them to put on the cake, but it turned out beautiful! Highly recommended!

Lovin Oven works with chevy chase country club, as their baker in an inclusive package if you book your wedding at chevy chase. this really helps to make for a very nice package deal. although we didn't work with the bakery directly, they provided everything we wanted and more. we submitted our own design with ribbon, colored icing and filigree that was absolutely stunning when we finally saw it! Not to mention, the cake was delicious as well! (yellow cake with apricot filling and marble with raspberry) We received many compliments on the cake! We would recommend.

Lovin Oven always does delicious cakes! When we went for our tasting we didn't really have an idea of what we wanted the cake to look like--I wish they had more pictures to show you. My other complaint would be that I was told on the phone when I set up the tasting appointment that the delivery to my reception in Lake Geneva Wisconsin would be $100, and when I got to the tasting I was told the delivery would be $150. I thought the delivery charge was rather expensive (considering it was half the cost of the actual cake) but I wanted a Lovin Oven cake. In the end the cake looked great and was delicious.

Wonderful cake! It was delivered and set up perfectly. Beautiful cake and equally delicious! Fantastic Service!

The cake was delicious!

Our wedding cake looked exactly as I hoped and tasted great. I was too excited to eat for most of the reception but I managed to put down a full slice of cake! Also, great customer service (Sara is a total sweetheart) and delivery and extremely affordable for a wedding cake.

Perfect Wedding Cake and awesome dessert pastries! Very, very reasonably priced! So happy we chose them for our Wedding

Not only the best wedding cake I have eaten, but probably the best cake in general I have ever eaten. This place was amazing! I was nervous about my idea for a cake: I wanted a light yellow cake with a dark red scroll that I had found online. I was nervous that it would turn out to look like mcdonalds colors. The day of the wedding my jaw dropped at how absolutely beautiful and perfect it had turned out! I am still getting compliments on the cake 2 months after the wedding.

It was nice that there were so many options offered at the tasting. We did 4 layers- two of one flavor and two of another, each with different filling. The wedding cake was delivered to our venue about 35 miles from the bakery in good condition, set up nicely, tasted delicious, and was absolutely beautiful. I highly recommend Lovin Oven in Round Lake Beach Il for wedding cakes.

I loved the end result of the cake that I got from this vendor. Even though they were able to work with me, the representative I worked with had lots of opinions that sometimes made the experience difficult.

Lovin Oven has the best wedding cake hands down! We sampled several other bakeries and no one could compare. The location was very inconvenient for us but it was definitely worth the drive. We actually changed our dessert option at our reception to serve this cake and we are still receiving compliments from our guests. We also ordered a sweet table from Lovin Oven and it was exceptional. I would highly recommend this cakery and the price was very reasonable.

I was beyond happy with my entire experience with Lovin Oven! However; in response to the last review posted, i worked with the new bridal consultant, Sara. She was very sweet and helpful in helping my fiance and I create the perfect cake for our day! She helped us design our cake based of a few different pictures we had liked- so it had personal touch and the finished cake was even more beautiful than we had envisioned!!! And it tasted just as great as their cakes always do!!

From the start I knew Lovin Oven was going to be very professional. We had an excellent tasting with a ton of choices. Our wedding cake was delicious and beautiful. The design fit our theme perfectly. For our groom's cake they made a delicious carrot cake and were able to put a picture of our dog on the cake. My mom also asked them to do a surprise cookie for each of the guests. They kept the secret and made delicious cookies!

This was absolutly the best cake that I have ever had!! I brought some pictures in and my invites and they were able to match the scroll work on my invites perfectly. I'm not sure about the price because it was included in my reception venue. My bridesmaids even had them make cupcakes for my shower and those were great too!

The cake was beautiful--exactly what we wanted. It tasted great as well!

- Awesome service and amazing cake...that's all you need to know

My cake was included with my reception at Chevy Chase Country Club in Wheeling, IL. The cake was so perfect, it was exactly what I had envisioned. My bridesmaid had to go in their to give her the right ribbon to wrap around the cake which matched my bridesmaid dresses, and the worker gave her and all her children cookies and treated her so amazing. The cake tasted amazing too.

The most beautiful, unique cakes!

red velvet cake at its best

I asked our long time family bakery to recreate my wedding dress in cake form, and it was unbelievable! I was pleasantly surprised to see that they make my "vision" better that I ever imagined. As always they delivered a mouthwatering cake that pleased all of our guests.

We gave them a picture of what we wanted, and their version of it came out better than the picture! Worked with me the week of the wedding to decrease the size of the cake while keeping it 4 tiers tall, and made suggestions that led to an even prettier cake. (I loved the spray on shimmer!) Their cakes taste fantastic. They include a very handy cake box for keep the top tier fresh for your anniversary.

Lovin Oven did a wonderful job, our cake was gorgeous just like the picture I brought in. The staff was extremely helpful. Our guests raved about the taste. Everything was perfect with our cake.

Everyone that I talked to at Lovin Oven was extremely professional and caring. They were very accomodating in helping my husband and I design the perfect cake!

The cake was great! We only had one complaint and that was that the icing was smudged by fingerprints in places, that our horrible photographer zoomed in on! The taste of the came was great as well!

I knew I was going to use Lovin Oven even before I went to a tasting. Their bakery products are to die for, and are raved about by many. They created a cake that was just what we were looking for. The design was beautiful, and the taste was heavenly!

They made the most gorgeous cake, with only minimal direction. It was delicious, and memorably beautiful-- I highly recommend them!

Very delicious cake with many unique flavor choices for purchase. I ended up getting a giant ice-cream cake.

Sara the wedding cake coordinator is fantastic to work with. All my couples of Kemper Lakes love thier cake. Sara makes it easy! and the cakes are beautiful and taste fantastic!
