If you need a specialty cake with decorations not made to your specifications this is the place for you. If you want to buy an overpriced 10" cake this is your bakery. Send your son to pick up the cake that would be the centerpiece of the party. Take it out of the box. If you like your cake to not have the flowers on it that you paid for and brown flicks of card board from the box on the frosting, go for it. Like cracked fondant on your main decoration? Get it here. If you want to be really upset one hour before your guests come to the party because the cake you paid for is not the cake you got, and you have to drive it 30 minutes back to the bakery so they can put flowers on it-but not the ones you ordered- different colors, this is the bakery for you. And its melty now. So now the cake is 45 minutes late for the party, but they give you a box of tasteless butter cookies to make it all better, no partial refund for all the running around we did because they did not read the ticket or look at the picture provided. Almost $150. 00 for this debacle. And the owner wont return a phone call. Priceless.

Went there this morning to get an Easter Lamb. They were busy but they had some already boxed for a quick sale. I did not take a number as I had no other items to purchase behind the counter. There was no sign saying a number was needed to make a purchase. I stood in line at a register and when my turn came was asked if I had a number by the staff member who at first just walked away until I asked to check out. I told her no as I was checking out with what I came for. She gave me the oh well look and refused to ring me saying other people with numbers were waiting in line. This is my issue. If I needed a number to check out they should probably post a sign saying such. I left without purchasing their $27 lamb cake and will find a different bakery that has better customer service and is organized.

Our wedding cake was included in the cost with our venue, 31 North Banquets & Catering in McHenry. Lindsay was our point of contact with Lovin’ Oven, and helped us search for cake designs. The website has several amazing pictures, and they are flexible with colors, frostings, fillings, design alterations. Since we live out of state, the cakery offered for extended family members in the area to come in for the cake tasting. Lovin’ Oven took care of delivery and setup. The cake looked great at our wedding! My only criticism is that the cake tasted a little dry. We had chocolate cake, strawberry jam filling, and butter cream frosting. Perhaps a creamier filling would have made the cake taste better. Overall, I would recommend Lovin’ Oven based on good service and flexibility.

Love this place for many reasons! Such delicious pastries and desserts! We came to Lovin Oven for them to make our wedding cake. The tasting was delicious! Alexandra helped us design our wedding cake and made our vision come to life. She is delightful to be around and such a friendly woman! We really enjoyed working with her. She was very helpful. The cake was delicious and our guests really enjoyed the different flavors and look of our cake. It was so pretty! Also, a year from now we can send them a photo of our cake and they will re-create the topper for free! I am looking forward to enjoying this again on our anniversary. If you are looking for a reasonable price, quality ingredients, and skilled staff you should come to Lovin Oven!

I did not have an appointment. They did however take my information down and what I was looking for. I have not received a call from them since I left the store. I did purchase 2 of their cakes and they were just ok. I left a message the other day and still have not heard anything back. Mind you I did all the leg work. I knew what I wanted and how I wanted it to look. Did not need a cake taste nor anyone to help design or pick colors. Gave them pictures and all to what I was looking for. I guess pricing something out is a bit much for them. So I found another bakery to take on my daughters bridal shower and her wedding. Not so impressed.

We used Lovin Oven for our wedding and I cannot tell you how easy and seamless the process was from doing the cake tasting, picking out colors, style, etc. Lindsay was so wonderful to work with and very prompt in answering emails and dealing with my indecisiveness and last minute changes. Our anniversary is coming up and we are looking forward to having our top tier of the cake. They replicated it so it is fresh :) Definitely recommend Lovin Oven for wedding cake not only because they were wonderful to work with but because the cake was delicious! We had many compliments from our guests.

We decided to order my sons birthday cake from Lovin Oven after Jewel told my dad they wouldnt be able to fulfill our order. I was a little worried about how Id be able to place my order without physically being able to go to the bakery since we are stationed outside of Illinois, but we were flying in only a day before our sons party. Lovin Oven took out order via email & phone call & they made it super easy! We received the cake today & couldnt have been happier with the outcome! Plus, the cake was delicious! Thank you Lovin Oven for your help & professionalism!

Got our wedding cake from Lovin Oven and everything was perfect! They were super easy to work with and the cake came out beautiful. We got tons of compliments on it, and it was delicious. Thank you so much for your dedication, hard work, and for making everything so perfect for our special day. We really appreciate it. I attached a picture of our cake to the google images section its the one with purple butterflies and white flowers.

I have been ordering cakes from this location for years. Their prices are really high but the cakes are usually good. I recently ordered a cake for my sons birthday party. The art work was horrible, and they put in raspberry filling instead of strawberry!!!! I called and left several messages and they never called me back. I payed $150.00 dollars for a horrible cake. I will never use them again!!!!!
