Rolf's Patisserie

Our 5 tier wedding cake was spectacular! It was very elegant and timeless. Sarah was great to work with! She was able to help bring our vision to life!

Rolf's came with our venue package so we went with them. They're pros at catering so had it down to a science. Our tasting lasted all of 15 minutes, which was great for us. the only thing is that all the extras were more money. For our package, we didn't have too many choices, but that was ok for us. Still, our cake came out beautifully. Our only minor surprise was that our color didn't quite match. We asked for purple and got more of a brown. I think it had to do with the low lighting at the ceremony, but the cake looking beautiful nonetheless. Also, it was a lot richer than what we remembered at the tasting, but that was just fine as well. I'd probably use them again. They made a lot of specialty and character cakes so will keep them in mind next time we need one!

Our wedding cake was beautiful and tasted so good! Many people called us the next day and said it was the best wedding cake they've ever had. It was tiramisu flavored filling and frosting over vanilla bean and chocolate decadance cake. They were so nice at our tasting too. All of the cakes were cut into hearts. When people are so nice, it makes the wedding planning experience a lot of fun and memorable. There were so many compliments that I ordered a smaller version of our cake for our one month anniversary.

Great cake.. Everyone raved about it.

From start to finish I’m glad our caterer picked Rolf’s Patisserie to bake our wedding cake.

Early on, it was hard to schedule a meeting with Sarah since my fiancé only has off Sunday and Mondays and she has off those days as well, but that’s how it is if you’re in the service industry. There were not many Saturday appointments so I advise to plan ahead if you’re looking for a Saturday.

Once we arrived at our cake testing they were a little behind schedule so we had to wait another 15-20 minutes. You are only allowed to bring up to four people to your taste testing and extras would be an extra charge. I must say my mother, FMIL, fiancé and I were quite shocked as to how little the cakes were. We thought we would be getting an actual piece of cake, but I suppose we were wrong. The cakes we had to try were little hearts, first to taste on its own and then whichever filling you choose. A bit disappointed, but not a huge deal.

On the day of our wedding Rolf’s delivered. Everyone complimented on how great the cake was: moist, delicious. Unfortunately, my now husband and I, didn’t even get to eat our own wedding cake because we got so busy taking pictures.

I think the most unique and best feature about this bakery is you’re given a certificate. With that certificate on your first-year anniversary they recreate your wedding cake exactly how it was on your wedding day. This way you don’t have to find room in the freezer and eat stale cake on your anniversary.

Overall, very pleased bride with Rolf’s Patisserie!

We had such a great experience with Rolf's. Our cake was part of our catering package so I was concerned about being limited in our options. The staff at Rolf's helped us to modify one of their fanciest cakes to fit our package. We received so many compliments on our cake. Bonus: it tasted as good as it looked!

Delicious, everyone at the wedding loved it! They matched the wedding colors exactly and personalized the cake to match our invitations.

A week after our wedding, we are still receiving compliments on our cake from our guests. The site of the paisserie was very nice, and we had a blast during our cake testing. We had a smaller wedding, and the flexibility of Rolfe's was very much appreciated. The cake tasted fabulous, and we are very happy with our choice.

We enjoyed working with Rolf's for our wedding. The original consultation meeting was great. We were given a number of ideas for the design of the wedding cake. We were also given the opportunity to try various flavors as well as cake samples to pick the right one. On our wedding day, the cake looked beautiful. It also tasted great! So many guests were pleased with the cake and most people had second or third slices! I would recommend Rolf's to anyone for their wedding!

The cake came with our reception. It was beautiful. Exactly what I asked for. They were very friendly. The cake was delicious.

Our cake from Rolf's was included in our package for our reception. We took in a couple photos and discussed what could be done within the package price (more intricate designs would have cost us more money because it was not included in the package, so we went a bit more basic.) The tasting was a little overwhelming with lots of choices, all good. When we actually ate the cake on our wedding day, I must say it tasted better than at the tasting. Overall, we were happy with Rolf's.

We've ordered cakes from Rolf's for birthdays and other special occasions. Their cake is lighter and not overly sweet. The variety of flavors is very wide. We ended up with a four tier cake with two flavors and side cakes with two other flavors. The design we picked was very clean and simple, but looked stunning. The side cakes were also nicely decorated. Everyone loved the lightness and flavor of the cakes. We will definitely be coming back to Rolf's for an anniversary cake.

Our venue collaborates with Rolf's, so we didn't really have a choice as to where our cake would come from. We were a little nervous at first, but then we went for our tasting. Sarah was very flexible in her scheduling, and when we arrived at the bakery, they were ready for us. They have a great set up for brides and grooms to do their tastings. We got to try nearly 20 fillings and like 6 different types of cake. Everyone of them was so delicious that we had trouble selecting. We brought in a picture of a cake we liked that we found on-line, and Rolf's re-created it perfectly. Our guests loved the cake so much that people were searching for a 2nd slice and wanted to try both of the flavors we had selected. We were very happy with them. I don't think we'll be able to wait a whole year to have more of our wedding cake. The only reason I didn't give them a perfect score was that they were unable to make us a 2nd nut-free, vegan cake for some of our guests with specific dietary needs. We ended up having to get that cake elsewhere.

Our venue uses Rolf's so we did not get to choose our bakery. After the tasting, we did not mind at all. We did a five layer cake with alternating layers of Vanilla Chiffon cake with Strawberry Moose and Double Devil's Food cake with Hazelnut Buttercream. After attending wedding that used Rolf's I decided to order a groom's cake through Rolf's. I did a Chicago White Sox baseball hat made of Carrot Cake. I tried a piece of each cake the day of the wedding and was extremely happy with the results!

OMG!! Our cake was fantastic. I had people trying to hunt down other pieces to eat. We're not sure if we'll be able to wait another year to taste it again!

My cake from Rolf's was included with my wedding package at my reception hall. Although it was quite a hike for us to get there, we really enjoyed our cake tasting and the whole experience with Rolf's. They were very accommodating and created my vision perfectly. The cake was gorgeous and tasted even better! Everyone loved it...even those who normally dislike the "super sweetness" of traditional butter cream thought it tasted delicious!

My mother offered to pay for the wedding cake, and I was so stressed by the end I just told her to pick whateevr she wanted. These surprise cakes and cupcakes were beautiful and delicious! One of my favorite moments from that day was eating cake straight from the cake stand with my bridesmaids while cleaning up after the wedding. Their hazelnut cake was to DIE for! The cakes were beautiful and delicious, and apparently a better price than some of the snazzy cupcakes we had taste tested. I made sure to send them a thank you email!

Rolf's cake was included with my venue, and it was fantastic! I loved the cake, and so did all of the guests. I have heard from multiple guests that it was the best wedding cake they have ever had. My only complaint was that the cake was a little bluer than the swatch we gave, but it still looked beautiful! Our top layer managed to get lost at the reception, but I am already planning on having Rolf's recreate it for our anniversary :)

I am so happy that I chose Rolf's Patisserie for my wedding cake. It tasted amazing and my guests said it was the best wedding cake they ever had. The cake was moist and full of flavor. Sarah was great to work with and helped us decided on what flavors to choose and worked with the design we had in mind. We are planning on getting our anniversary cake from Rolf's every year!

I am not a cake person, but this cake was amazing! Not only was it beautiful to look at, but it was also moist and delicious! I have the chocolate cake with raspberry mousse. Mmmm!

Our cake was amazing! The flavors and presentation was awesome. The only problem I had was them was that we wanted to add on a cupcake for a close family member because she was allergic to the strawberry butter cream in the cake. We called multiple times to add this on to our wedding cake order and could never get a hold of the wedding department. When we finally did, the comped our cupcake.

Rolf's was included in our reception package. The biggest downfall is that they were so far away from us. We drove over an hour for our tasting for it to only last about 15 minutes. We went hungry expecting to try dozens of cake and that was not the case. They were tiny little samplings and we felt a bit uncomfortable trying everything in front of the coordinator. Aside from that, our cake turned out absolutely beautiful and tasted amazing! We couldn't agree on the cake so we did half white cake and the other half red velvet. We also made the top tier carrot cake which I can't wait to eat on our 1st anniversary (if it makes it there). So overall I am completely satisfied with our experience.

Admittedly, on the cost and flexibility front, our cake was included with our catering package at The Drake and we did not make a lot of special requests - we were very impressed with the variety that Rolf's had to offer, in terms of flavors, textures and design, so did not feel we needed to press for more. The tasting was so much fun! We actually bought a small carrot cake (which we selected for our wedding) when we went in for the tasting. My fiance insisted on it, and he is not a sweet tooth. Working with Rolf's was seamless and we got compliments at the reception on both its appearance and taste. Would definitely recommend and consider them for future events!

Rolf’s was not our bakery by choice it came with our wedding package at Belvedere Banquets, however I am sure glad that it did. Sara was our consultant and she treated us no differently since we were not paying them directly. She presented the tasting as you see on TV; we had 9 different cakes with about 30 fillings! Sara was knowledgeable about all of the flavors and we chose a white cake with fresh raspberries and crème cheese. It tasted like a cheesecake but not so filling. The cake was absolutely beautiful, I provided my own brooches but the bows looked so real, once I eat it in another 2 weeks that will be the sign of a great cake. I’ll keep you posted.

Rolf's was the baker that my hall offered, so I didn't look around. There were some odd issues that when I showed up with some ideas for a unique cake they gave a verbal upcharge that was in my range, but then came back w/ an actual quote that was more than double that amount. I chose not to do the special cake then and just pick from my availble cakes within my package (which were very nice). However, after talking w/ the hall, they called rolf's then all the sudden my upcharge was back in the okay range. Very odd. I was a tiny bit disappointed with the execution of my cake (designed to look like a ski hill) I thought it could have had a bit more style/creativity for the $550 extra I paid (above my package allowance). However, the guests said the cake was VERY good ( I never go to taste it!!!). I got the marble chiffon cake w/ 2 layers of white chocolate filling and 2 layers of orange dreamsicle filling. They were wonderful at the tasting!

A cake from Rolf's was included in our package at the Wyndham Lisle. We scheduled our tasting in plenty of time, but make sure that you give yourself a couple of weeks to get on their schedule, since they are very busy! Our experience with the tasting was fantastic. Our consultant was very helpful and gave good advice without trying to change our ideas. We had a pretty good idea of what we wanted when we went in there, so we didn't try all the flavor combinations...that would be overwhelming! The choices of styles of cakes is not huge, but they are very flexible. We liked a particular design, but wanted a round cake instead of square, and they executed it perfectly. You can upgrade from the package deals for a more expensive cake, but we were pleased with what they offered, and stuck with that. On the wedding day, the cake looked EXACTLY like I had pictured it, and tasted even better. The devils food with Baileys mousse was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So good! Our cake was beautiful and delicious! We had one meeting with a Rolf's coordinator where we got to taste about 10 different cakes and 20 different fillings/frostings. It's so hard to choose! But everything was really delicious. Some of the fruit buttercreams are made with real fruit and they were so good! Rolf's desserts are available at Whole Foods, so you know they're made with good quality ingredients and a lot of love!

We got our wedding cake along with our reception at the Belvedere. We went to taste test for our wedding cake. We had many to choose from but Rolf's was very kind about going though all the options and giving us ideas on options for our cake and designs and layers.

We worked with Jill who was very informative, offered great suggestions, and provided a great price for what we got. We ordered a beautiful three-tier cake, with chocolate chiffon cake, raspberry and chocolate mousse filling, and a white outer frosting that included a branch with different types of leaves cascading down the tiers. Not only was the cake beautiful, but it was the BEST wedding cake I've ever tasted.

Sarah was wonderful and she helped us pick out a lemon raspberry layered white cake. Fun yet not to crazy for our guests! Very wonderful, very timely, and very good! Lots of compliments from our guests!

One of my guests texted me as she & her hubsband were driving home from our wedding. She told me the wedding cake was the best she'd tasted!

Rolf's really helped guide us in picking our flavor and fillings for the wedding cake and they were receptive to my idea on how I wanted the cake to look.

I went with Rolf's because they had a special price point for me because of the venue I was using. I couldn't of been happier with them.

An initial email sent to them went unanswered for some time, but it wasn't anything detrimental and afterwards they were very responsive. I changed the time of the delivery the day of the wedding and Rolf's was flexible enough to just make the change, no problems at all!

The way the cake was decorated was just as I had pictured! I was thrilled with it!!

Our wedding cake was included in our package with our reception hall. The consultant we met with at Rolf's was thorough, knowledgeable and detail oriented. She spent a lot of time with us to make sure she had the design and colors correct. I had brought clippings and color swatches of our specific scheme and left them with the consultant. I left feeling great about our cake. A few months later I contacted Rolf's to confirm details prior to my wedding and discovered the consultant we met with was no longer with Rolf's. I reiterated everything to the new consultant and made sure she had all the clippings and color swatches I had left with the previous consultant; which she said she did. However I was very disappointed in the cake design we ended up with. The cake itself, tasted wonderful, but design and color scheme was no where near what I had wanted it to be.

Sara was pleasant to work with. The cake choices were given based on the relationship Rolf's has with Catered by Design. I wanted a Groom's Cake and that seemed to throw them off a bit. The cakes were tasty and beautiful. They made the filling with a zingier lemon filling, as requested. The groom liked his cake as well.

I was very please with our wedding cake... it looked exactly how it was described and it was delicious!

I have never had better tasting cake!! Sooooooo GOOD!! The cake was absolutely beautiful!! Rolf's was easy to work with and did exactly what we wanted!! they are amazing!

Not only was the cake stunning, but it was the best tasting cake I have ever had! Everybody was getting second servings because it was so good. I would recommend them to everyone and we will now be using them for other bakery orders!

Rolf's was included in our package at Fulton's on the River so we cannot speak to price/value, but it was delicious and loved by our guests. We had a "standard type 1" which was the most basic (we just added some floral to basic white) and each layer we did different flavors. The tasting was easy and the woman that did it was wonderful; the only hitch was that the woman that provided our tasting and knew all of our preferences, etc. was no longer working there by the time we had confirmed everything. We can't speak to delivery or anything like that, as Fulton's provided it. We would recommend the taste, though.

The best wedding cake ever!!! The design was exact to the pic I gave them! Everyone loved the cake.. seriously, I'm glad I know of this Patisserie I will order from them all of the time!

My cake was included in the price of where my reception was and this was one of two places to choose from. I never heard of them previously and I'm so happy we choose the right one!!

I cannot wait until our one year anniversary to eat the cake again!

Good service, had a great cake tasting experience. However, the cake I picked turned out less than what I expected. It tasted fine, but did not look as nice as the sample picture I chose from. Rolf's was part of my caterer/reception package so didn't have much choice. I might have picked a different looking cake though.

Our reception venue included the cake if we used Rolf's or a second bakery. We did tastings at both and the tasting at Rolf's was amazing and sold us immediately. The cake was delicious!! The only negative point is that the style that we had wanted was not included with the "package" of our reception hall (but at the competing bakery, the style was included). We decided to go with Rolf's anyway because the cake was tastier and worked with them to design a cake included in our "package." The cake was beautiful and tasty (and got lots of compliments). The staff was extremely helpful and efficient and the groom's cake was delicious and adorable.

YUMMY!! YUMMY!! YUMMY!!! That's all I can say...YUM!

Rolf's Patisserie did a nice job with our wedding cake. The tasting was very professional and accomodated both my fiance and I and our parents. The flavors were good and there were many options. We got many compliments on the cake. We had a multi-tiered cake with white cake, chocolate, and carrot cake. Also did a nice job of working with us as we had to come up with a ribbon to go with the colors of the wedding. I would use them again if I had a choice.

Rolf's Patisserie was included with my package at Germania Place. Overall my experience was great. The cake was delicious! There was one little glitch where my order got lost, but they contacted me the week of my wedding to verify and it was taken care of. I sent them a picture of what design I wanted and they did a great job. It turned out to be a delicious and beautiful cake!

Rolf's was one of two choices we had when selecting our cake. I am so glad we decided on them! I had my heart set on a certain look for our cake, and they were able to customize two of their designs into my dream cake! There were aspects I liked from one design, and they were able to tweak it. They took the damask pattern from our invitations and created a custom fondant stencil pattern on two of the layers.

As beautiful as the cake looked, it tasted even better. We ended up with a four layer cake, with three different flavor combinations. Banana cake with cheesecake filling, white chiffon with strawberry mousse, and double devils food with tiramisu mousse. The cake itself was incredibly moist, and the fillings were very flavorful. The consistency of the mousse fillings on the wedding day were less mousse like than I remembered from the tasting - but no complaints. In fact everyone I have talked to since, has said that our wedding cake was the best tasting they had ever had.

What I love about Rolf's Patisserie is that how their cakes taste. They are AMAZINGLY delicious, always moist, and with such interesting flavor combinations. They did not only our wedding cake but my surprise groom's cake as well and both turned out beautifully. They were very responsive, gave me options and were a pleasure to do business with. The only reason I gave them 4.5 stars on service instead of 5 is because when the cake arrived the top tier was cracked a bit. You couldn't see it unless you looked at it from the top but still. Amazing bakery and I would absolutely recommend it again - in fact I've ordered my friend's surprise birthday cake from there this week and can't wait to eat it!

Rolf's was one of the choices we had in having our reception at Belvedere Banquets. They have different levels of cake design. Our package included level 1, which was fine for us. The cake was gorgeous and tasted so good. I heard many compliments on the cake from our guests. We chose the chocolate and vanilla marble chiffon cake with layers of chocolate fudge and raspberry preserves. I had read negative reviews of Rolf's, but I had absolutely no problems working with them.

Rolf's was the vendor arranged through our reception venue. We were ultimately happy with the cake, though the experience of choosing it was I felt more stressful than it needed to be. They had a million options to choose from but didn't provide any information prior to the meeting to help with any pre-choosing, so I felt very rushed during the actual meeting to make selections without having the time to consider all options. So I was not pleased with the selection experience and would push to preview design options prior to the meeting if at all possible, though I don't know if they'd accomodate that. They were flexible, though, in making changes to the standard designs to accomodate what we wanted. On the wedding day, the cake was beautiful, and though my husband and I didn't actually have a chance to have any at the wedding, the guests said it was very good.

Referred by The Drake Hotel, Rolf's delivered a beautiful and delicious cake!

I have no complaints about Rolf's. A cake from Rolf's was included in the package from our venue, so we didn't get to shop around...but it wasn't an issue. We had a great time at the tasting, the cake that we chose showed up on time and looked GORGEOUS, and we got many compliments on how good it tasted.
I would recommend them on the basis that we were completely satisfied with our cake...but I cannot comment on price since the cake was part of our package. I gave 5 stars for "value for cost" because n/a was not an option.

We were connected to Rolf's because our contract through Catered By Design included a cake from Rolf's if we wanted a wedding cake. I had heard good things through friend and coworkers. We went for the tasting, met with a very informative representative, and she provided us with a slew of cakes and frosting/fillers to mix/match our cake tiers. We saw one aspect of a cake we liked, and they accomodated our taste and included it on our cake design. So I see them as pretty flexible to work with. I had heard before that the best thing was to stick to the designs that were in the book. We had a few changes here and there, but overall, it was a simple design and it came out perfectly. Even better...it tasted wonderful!

We were directed to Rolf's through our reception venue. I must say that the representative we met with did not seem to helpful in terms of creating a unique customized cake. We were left alone and given a book of pictures to choose from and a platter of flavors to choose from. I guess it was not a customized experience and I cannot expect more since they didn't have to "earn our business". Also, when I called in to make an appointment to come by their availability was very limited and more than a month wait to get an appointment. Also, they wanted me to schedule an appointment to come in the middle of the afternoon during the work week. All in all, the cake was beautiful and tasted yummy but they were not the most excited vendors to work with.

Our cake came with our package from the Wyndham in Lisle. The cake tasting was wonderful and we couldn't decide between three flavors- Chocolate with baileys filling, white with strawberry, and almond with white chocolate moose They said we could do all three kinds no problem. We did a hexagon 4 tiered cake named "heart and soul" We did the first and third later with the design, the second was plain with our monogram, and the top was plain with our heart cake topper. At first I was nervous about it because I thought it might be to much, but we decided to keep it how we originally designed. The cake was beautiful!! and it tasted amazing except for one thing... it was missing the white with strawberry layer. They only made two out of three types we wanted. Other than that mix up they were wonderful and everyone gave us a ton of complements on it.

Rolf's was used in our package at the Hotel Allegro. We were able to get the biggest and most intricate cake for the number of guests we had. It was obvious that the pastry chef spent many hours constructing this cake. It was not only beautiful, but it was exactly what we had described during our tasting. The tasting we had at Rolf's made the flavor decision so much easier. They had every kind of cake and frosting to combine and choose from. It was delicious too. I believe all five tiers were eaten, even ours accidentally.

Rolf's was fabulous! I saw several negative reviews about Rolf's as I was planning my wedding, but I also know they are used by several major venues and if there was such big issues, that would not continue to be the case.

One thing to note, their website does not seem to be updated with new selections and fillings, plus does not really give you any idea what the cakes will look like.

Brookfield Zoo uses them as part of their package as well, when I booked with them (things might have changed with the packaging since) we were allowed to choose a cake from their tier one selection. You could upgrade to their other tiers but you would have to pay the difference.

Since they do work with many of the Chicago and Chicago-land wedding venues, their times for tastings do book up, but if you are able to go during the week it is easier to get a good time. They allow plenty of time between bookings so you don't feel rushed, but it truly took a short amount of time, for us at least. We thought we would be there over an hour and we were there prolly about 30 -40 minutes tops.

The tasting was great, this being our only experience with tastings, I'm not sure how it is done at other bakeries. They gave us 2 plates, one with dollops of different fillings and one with heart shaped pieces of different flavor cakes. We ended up with almond cake and raspberry mousse filling, and red velvet cake with white chocolate mousse filling. Our cake design, and I forget the name of it, had alternating layers one with little dots and the other with piped heart swirls, it was beautiful.

Granted we both felt that the cake design was not that critical to our overall feel of the wedding, we did not desire anything complicated or intricate or specific so we were probably very easy to please. I thought their standard cake designs were all quite lovely and appealing.

We also got a great many compliments on the taste of the cake, how moist it was and how fluffy the filling and frosting was, that it didn't leave that greasy aftertaste in your mouth.

I luckily live quite close to Rolf's and plan on going there for other events for our cakes and desserts.

We had to go with Rolf�s because they were included in our hotel package. Our tasting was great � we were given different types of cakes and fillings to choose from and could mix and match and pick flavors. We got a five tier apple blossom design cake (type 3 on their website) � I gave them our wedding colors and they matched the cake to our wedding colors. For flavors, we got two types of cakes -- a marble cake with a vanilla custard filing with fresh strawberries and a red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting. The cake was good and everything was satisfactory. The only issue I had was that the cake we got didn�t look much like the picture � it had apple blossoms but not as many as they had on the sample picture. I was expecting it to be a bit more fuller but overall, the taste was really good so we were satisfied.

Rolf's makes you feel so at home during your cake tasting. And they let you taste just about everything!! Tons of fun!! Our cake was so gorgeous and grand!! And tasted awesome!! Would totally recommend Rolfs!!!

Our cake was included in the Hotel Allegro's package. That made me wonder what we'd get but it was EXACTLY what we wanted. and delicious, too! We were able to have red velvet, chocolate, and vanilla tiers. And we only had to have one tasting/meeting and then they followed up with our venue coordinator directly.

Rolf's created the perfect wedding cake for our wedding. We got so created that every tier of our cake was a different flavor and filling. They were equally amazing in creating the surprise groom's cake that I ordered. My husband was total shocked. The best part is that the cake was soo delicious.

Our cake was delicious! The cake was included in our package from our venue, but no problem, it made things easy. All of the cakes and fillings were delicious, but we went with almond cake and red velvet cake, both with a white chocolate moose filling, highly recommended. They worked with us to get our colors just right and were willing to try and make our requests happen.

Stacy of Rolf's was WONDERFUL! I presented her with a picture of a wedding cake I had cut out of a magazine when I was a teenager. Stacy was able to duplicate the wedding cake to the tee. I was impressed with not only the design, but the cake itself was delicious.

We went with Rolf's because they are the contracted bakery with The Drake Hotel (where we had our reception). The cake was DELICIOUS but we were very, very disappointed with the look of the cake itself. It didn't look ANYTHING like the photo that I had given them ... the tiers weren't spaced correctly, the icing finish wasn't correct. So if you go with them MAKE SURE that they know exactly what you want.

The best cake ever! We get their cakes for all our occasions. I brought in a picture of our wedding cake and a couple of other ideas that we wanted to incorporate into it and Rolf's did a perfect job putting together our vision. It was beautiful and of course delicious!!! We had red velet and vanilla chiffon cake with strawberry mousse. Yummy! It was such a beautiful wedding cake. I recommend them to every bride and groom!

My wedding cake was everything expected and more. During the tasting at their location I was wowed by the different flavors and options. I could not have asked for a better cake vendor , their service was exceptional and I will be getting our 1 yr anniversary cake from them.

A cake from Rolf's was included with our reception venue's dinner package... how perfect! We had a delicious devil's food chocolate cake with a Bailey's Irish Creme flavored mousse. We received many compliments on the cake... it tasted great! No complaints.

Cake was delicious. We asked for a purple cake with white piping and they did and excellent job. The cake was moist and not too dense-- hard to do considering we ordered red velvet.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

My wedding cake came included in my package from Eaglewood Resort. The tasting for the cake was really fun and delicious. We picked out the perfect cake, however the day of the wedding the actual cake was right but the type of cake was not. We ordered chocolate with raspberry filling and white with chocolate fillling and got NEITHER. It was still good but a little disappointing. Would have preferred the choices we picked.

Double chocolate devil's food cake, filled with Bailey's irish cream filling and frosted with buttercream. Do I really even need to say more? The cake was DELICIOUS and gorgeous. The tasting was an incredible experience too. What a tough choice! Best wedding cake I've ever had.

I could write a review in eight words: Double Devil's Food Cake, Bailey's Irish Creme Filling. That sold all 150 of my wedding guests on Rolf's in one bite, and it sold my husband and I and our family on Rolf's at our tasting. Our cake was included in our package from the Wyndham Chicago, but I would've gone to them even without the package. A good friend used Rolf's for her wedding last year and their cake was every bit as delicious as ours. The look was exactly what we'd asked for, the cake moist, the filling devine. The top is frozen in my freezer, waiting for our one-year anniversary to eat it... if we can wait that long!!!

My cake was my favorite part of my wedding. I have been to a lot of weddings and I have never liked the cake before. I am not a huge cake person as it is. But we had our tasting, and oh my god. I couldn’t wait to have everyone eat it. I was talking about the cake for months. I couldn’t wait to see it. They had a lot of cake pictures to choose from. We choose tie the knot. We did have them make it square instead and change the colors around. And they were able to do it without any problems or extra charges. Then about a week before the wedding, I called and asked if it were possible to change the filling to the cake because we had 3 different types and I was set on the Irish cream mousse, and they did it. While people were eating the cake, I asked if they liked it. And I was shown empty plates and asked what do you think? :)

Unfortunately, I can only review this vendor through the word of mouth feedback, I've heard from my guests. I was so busy running around and greeting everyone that I totally missed out of the food and cake. However, the one slice that I tasted during the cutting was amazing. All of our guests asked to take slices home. Rolf's is great because I think everyone can afford something there. If you want your dream cake, they can work with your budget and provide great options for you. Our cake was simple yet elegant and everyone enjoyed it. It also photographed well. I knew square away that I wanted to use them after my cousin's wedding last year. They provide great service, they allow you to taste everything at your tasting, and they are flexible.

Our venue provides the cake and all we have to do is go to Rolf's to pick out the design and flavor. We at first worked with Fabiola who seemed so disinterested and kind of a downer on the whole choosing the wedding cake process. I found that her lack of interest also meant that she didn't write down all the little details that can make your cake uniquely yours. I called Rolf's again and this time asked to work with Joanne. Joanne is much more personable, attentive, and understanding of the importance of making your cake to your specifications. On our wedding day, the cake tasted heavenly. the overall look was similar to what we requested, but fell a little short. For some reason, a few of those special details were changed on the final cake, like I had a fabric ribbon border instead of a icing trim or that there would be more flowers on the cake. The cake looked good, I just expected more, especially when we provided a picture! I called Rolf's to convey my thoughts and spoke with Jenny who was very polite and understanding. We'll be getting a gift card to compensate for the fact that our cake visually lacked our expectations.

Overall, I think Rolf's makes excellent cakes and as long as you don't work with Fabiola, I think you'll be extremely happy with your cake.

There is a wide range of cakes to choose from. Our cake was included in our reception package, so we were able to work with whatever we wanted. The surprise decorations were nice.

So I had high expectations for our wedding cake. I came in with a custom design in my head. I am not an artist by any means, but I have an eye for design. I cam in with a handdrawn picture of a 4 tiered cake. The bottom tiers being square and the top 2 being round. Every other tier would have 2 different designs. One being a polka dot design and the other resembling my gathered dress. So as you can see my idea was rather confusing, but they took apart my design and made it reality!! It absolutely outstanding and the cake tasted great! I was so hesitant to go with fondant, but that was all we could do to make the design happen and it actually tasted no different! It was amazing and I would highly recommend them to any bride. Also, their groom's cake was outstanding and my husband loooved it :)

Our cake was included in our catering package at our reception location. So I didn't pay additional money for it. I love to bake, so I never really had high expectations. We did not choose a cake from their book. We sent a picture and color swatches that we wanted and they actually did a really good job of matching it-- though it took several emails to clarify (at times the lady i worked with sounded confused). I think our photographer made it look much prettier in photographs than it was in person (i should have specified more flowers, it looked a little bare). But our photographer made it look good =) and at the end of the, it's the photos I have. It tasted fine, not the best cake I've ever had, but when you make a cake for 125 people, I didn't really expect it to be amazing. I actually thought it tasted better a few days later. The rest is in the freezer for the one-year anniversary. I can't really complain since I didn't pay any extra money for a cake.

I had the most beautiful cake! They did it exactly like I wanted. They made me a sample cake for free to make sure of colors. I love them!

Pretty pricey but the end product was GORGEOUS! I wouldn't have spent a penny less. The cake was absolutely beautiful!

We ordered one of the cakes from Rolf's book of their standard cakes. I have to confess, my husband and I really didn't care about cake. We just wanted it to look decent and taste good. They executed our cake perfectly and even matched the colored band at the base of each layer of our cake to a linen swatch I gave them at our tasting. Rolf's was one of the easiest vendors to work with. They're not going to give you the warm and fuzzies when you call or go in for your tasting, but they lived up to our expectations.

Our cake was beautiful and delicious. They did exactly what we wanted.

I do not have one bad thing to say about Rolf's. We had to use them as part of our reception package and the result was wonderful. We had an informative tasting a couple months ago and picked a design out of their book. I have read bad reviews in the past and they mostly seem to revolve around custom cakes. My husband and I were not too interested in the cake overall, but it surpassed any expectation we had. The taste and presentation were outstanding.

The cake was actually included in our contract with our reception hall, so they gave us a choice or going to Rolf's or another bakery. We chose Rolf's and were very happy with our choice. We brought in a picture of a cake that we saw on our photographer's website and they replicated it to a T! They even make a small tweek that we asked for and it turned our perfectly. We had TONS of people comment on our cake. The only hiccup we had with them was that our hall did not receive our cake selection from them until we had to ask them to send it over (even though they said they would on their own), but it did not cause any problems. And they only had a couple flavor options that came included in the package, everything else would have had to be an upgrade and cost us even more. Otherwise, we were extremely happy with the choice!

Our cake looked gorgeous and tasted delicious. I would definitely recommend this vendor. Our cake was included in our package with our venue, and when we left Rolf's after picking our flavors and everything we were a little concerned about the look of the cake because we were not able to actually see one like it. It looked awesome though and they were very flexible and gave great suggestions with flavor combinations.

Rolf's did our wedding cake as part of our wedding package at the Hyatt Lodge in Oak Brook. We were limited in our selection because of this but we were still offered such a varied selection of flavors that it didn't matter. We were also limited somewhat by our cake design (again, this was included as part of our package so this was still above and beyond what we would have paid separately) but we were able to make some changes at no charge. The cake ended up being BEAUTIFUL (they put my unique cake topper on just the right way) and tasted delicious.

Our cake from Rolf's was affordable, beautiful, and DELICIOUS!!!!! The only downside was that we couldn't change the cost of the cake when we realized we'd have less guests then originally planned, and they didn't have the color as I requested. I requested WHITE icing with IVORY details. They gave us an entire IVORY cake. No one knew except me, so it wasn't too tragic, and the beauty made up for their mistake.

The cake was booked through my venue. We did a cake tasting at the bakery and picked out the design. They were able to match the color perfectly.

Rolf's was included in our wedding package with the Embassy Suites Hotel. First I want to say that the cake looked AMAZING and was SO good. The quaility of the cake was NOT the problem. The downfall came with the service. We walked in for our tasting and no one helped us left alone said hi for 10 mintues, then when we sat down to try them, the rep left us there alone providing no insight. When I went to go find her to ask questions she was on her cell phone. They also provided no water, milk, coffee, tea, etc.. to clear our paletes in between tastings so thing started to blend together in our mouths. All my guests absolutely LOVED the cake and were raving about it, which is the most important thing, just don't expect them to be professional or polite to you.

Our wedding cake from Rolf's was included in our package from our venue. The cake tasting was great and they helped us with favor combinations. We were allowed to choose from templates for the cake and had the option to upgrade if we would like to. We wanted a pretty simple cake so it wasn't a big deal to choose from the templates. One the day of the wedding, the cake was excellent--many people commented on how moist and favorful it was--and it looked just like we had wanted it too. I highly recommend them!

We had to use them for our reception & I was a little worried. I had read some really bad reviews, but we didn't have any of those issues. They didn't have my cake design in their book, so they had to create it from a picture (which I heard they didn't do a good job on others) & it was great. Guests at the wedding gave us a lot of compliments on the cake.

We actually had to use Rolf's as they were the bakery that was in our package with Harry Caray's, but we still loved the cake. We took a picture of the cake we wanted, it was a very simple three tier with buttercream frosting. Our florist provided the decoration, they used our flowers to decorate the cake with. The cake had little dots all over and it was so pretty. The cake was rich and delicious. It was probably the best wedding cake I've ever had, so I'm happy it was for my wedding! They did a fantastic job and did exactly what we wanted. It was perfect!

Rolf's provided us with a fabulous (and tasty -- which is sometimes rare) wedding cake, as well as making individual monogrammed sugar cookies. They were extremely flexible -- we changed our head count several times -- and accommodating, happily agreeing rather last-minute to use the special ribbon we brought in to tie each individually wrapped cookie. They also worked from a swatch of the bridesmaid dresses to dye frosting for portions of the cake, so that each tier had a frosting "ribbon" that exactly matched the color of the dresses. They used the same dyed frosting to monogram the cookies. We had numerous compliments on the taste of the cake AND the cookies, and it's sometimes hard to get a tasty sugar cookie. The only minor concern was the length of time it sometimes took to get serviced, but I think that's a product of them being so wildly popular. I highly recommend Rolf's.

the cake tasted great. I did encounter a few headaches with them and they are not the friendliest-but you can't go wrong with how great their cakes taste. We bought the groom's cake from them for the rehearsal dinner and although initially it did not look like the photo I sent-they fixed on the spot and gave a discount. And it was some of the best red velvet cake I have even had! Our wedding cake was beautiful and it too tasted great!

The cake was absolutley gorgeous and very unique. We got so many comments about how delicious it was.

Best cake we have ever had

Rolf's was the only option we had for our wedding cake, but it turned out great. The cake looked beautiful and tasted great. The tasting was a bit overwhelming b/c of all the options, but thanks to the manager, we identified a few combinations of cakes for each tier and mixed it up a little bit. Our design was based off one of their templates, but we changed it up a little bit, based on other examples. They were very willing to change it up.

Our wedding cake tasted amazing! We're still getting comments about it being the best cake people have had. They are very easy to deal with.

Our wedding cake was included as part of our wedding package with our venue. We scheduled a time to come in and do a tasting with Joann. She was very pleasant and easy to work with. We loved the yummy cakes and chose our flavors during that visit.

As for the actual cake, it looked very nice and was exactly as we wanted it on the wedding day. It was also delicious!

I had to work with Rolf's because they were included as part of my catering package. I was worried because they've received a lot of bad reviews. When I arrived for my tasting they had somehow scheduled somebody else at the same time - not a huge deal, but rather unprofessional. I was worried that the cake would be wrong at the wedding, since I've heard of that happening with Rolf's. The design was right on and looked beautiful. But when we cut the cake, it was definitely not the flavor I had chosen :( Still tasted good, but not as good as it would have tasted if it had been the correct cake...

We were required to use Rolf's as part of our package with our caterer - Levy Events. The cake tasted good, but looked absolutely nothing like the inspiration picture we sent them. To their credit, we got a refund for the cake (but I think it was from our caterer, not from Rolf's). I would have rather had the cake we wanted.

Our cake was included in the cost of our reception (through the Embassy Suites, State Street). I loved the cake. We went with a chocolate mousse filling, buttercream icing on the cake and two different types of cake batter. It was everything I wanted and all of our guests loved it. Including some guests who normally don't like sweets. We asked our reception site to hold two pieces of cake and deliver them to our room for after the wedding and it was a great treat after such a long day.

Our cake tasting was fun and they really did a great job of delivering exactly what I wanted.

Yummy cake. Beautiful too. Can't wait to share it on our 1 year anniversary.

The cake was absolutely delicious and the staff here were very friendly and accomodating during our tasting! The cake was included with our package from our reception hall. It was a great value!

My wedding cake was beautiful and good to eat! The decorator at Rolf’s was able to match the color of the icing trim on my cake to the color swatch from my bridesmaids’ dresses. If I lived closer, I would get cakes from here all the time.
