Lutz Pastry Shop

Our wedding cake was georgeous and delicious. I went there from the suburbs on a referral from a friend and though it was a bit far, it was worth the trip. The initial meeting and cake tasting was fun and the girl there was very helpful. I brought in a few pictures with ideas and a copy of my invitation for design inspiration and the cake designers at Lutz created the perfect cake! It was exactly what I had envisioned!

We had a neopolitan cake with white buttercream frosting and it was moist, not too sweet, and delicious. They delivered the cake to our venu in Glenview and it looked beautiful. While the staff who work there may not be the brightest, the quality of their cake more than make up for it. It's a traditional European bakery - round or sqaure cakes only - not too many fillings to choose from - but the unbelievable goodness of their cakes makes you think that they don't need to distract you with too many options. The cake here is just plain great.

Lutz's created a great cake for us...not only did it look great, but it was delicious! The quality of the cake was very high...not dry at all like other wedding cakes I've tried or even those sampled during cake tastings. The only downside is that Lutz's didn't have that many design ideas in books or provide many during consultation. However, they are extremely flexible and can do pretty much whatever you want, so long as you have a good, clear idea in mind. That's exactly what we did. We brought in a picture of what we wanted, added a few embellishments, and they created exactly what we wanted. We did some shopping around, and the price wasn't bad either compared to what other places were asking for a similar cake. Highly recommended!

The cake was extremely tasty - which is more than I can say for most wedding cakes. It was also beautiful. Generally, I think cakes are overpriced, but considering the general quality and general price of wedding cakes, we got a pretty great deal. Delivery was on time and also a good deal.
