Do NOT use TipsyCake for copying another cake. I asked for a cake to be copied from pictures. The cake included silk and frosting butterflies all over it. The entire cake was supposed to have fondant icing. They charged me $460 plus tax and delivery to copy the cake. I liked the cake and the cake had many details, so I decided to splurge and order the cake. They did a terrible,...

We used TipsyCake as our Cake supplier for our wedding. We visited their bakery for a tasting which was lovely. We greatly enjoyed their cake, especially the fillings that they offered. This bakery was well above our cake budget, but my mother decided to get us a custom cake as our wedding gift. We were so excited about the cake to come that we spent a year telling everyone we knew about it!...

The Most Horrific Cake Ever

This was the worse tasting cake I have ever eaten. The custome service sucks and the owner is just plain rude and disrespectful. The cake tastes like dry non-sweet cornbread and not good cornbread. The 3 layer cake had no filling or icing between the layers to hold it together. This was definitely not worth the call, gas and especially not the money. The pictures on the website are...

In a city that prides itself on diverse neighborhoods this establisment has caused a riot. Feeding off it's original vibrant Humbolt Park 'hood' it's gone uptown and the owners vile comments about the 'hood' that made her money makes me want to...well...post here, there and everywhere. Do NOT frequent this establisment if you have any morals at all.

I did not have time to argue and thought that maybe the cake would taste good. It tasted horrrrrrrible. THIS IS THE TRUTH u are better making a cake at home.

I recently went to a bbq where the hosts had a bunch of cupcakes from Tipsy Cake. They were super delicious, a little different then what I am used to but very good. My favorite was the chocolate on Chocolate. I most definitely want to go back and try some of the other flavors.

Pros

+ Great cupcakes

I sent my bf cupcakes for his b-day! I called two days prior to his b-day and asked for the cupcakes to be delivered in the morning. They were very helpful. I do not live in Chicago so it was difficult to know where the closest bakeries are. My bf loved the cupcakes! They were really helpful!

I've ordered several cakes from here and they've always been great. The frosting especially is tasty and the decorating lovely. Even though I don't live nearby anymore, I like to pick up pastries here too.

Tipsycake did my son's birthday cake for his Ratatouille-themed birthday. It was fabulous - incredibly detailed and our guests were so impressed. Their decorators are incredibly talented. Lamingtons are pretty fabulous as well.

I hired TipsyCake for my wedding after receiving recommendations from my planner, florist and especially after meeting with Naomi, seeing her portfolio of creatively decorated cakes, and tasting a variety of flavors. BOTTOM LINE ON TOP: Of the bakeries we looked at, TipsyCake was not only the most innovative and delicious, they were also affordable. We tasted cakes from some of Chicago?s most...

Wow I went to visit Tipsycake Australia Day- there was free samples galore of Sausage rolls, Meat pies, wine and the list goes on.

The vibe was great in the shop they are all great staff and loyal to the business.

We heard great things about this bakery so decided to drive out from Oak Park to check it out. The selection was meager at best. However, what we did order turned out to be quite delicious (brownie and Australian sponge cake). So why on earth would we rate this establishment as a 2?

There is a lot to be said for atmosphere. A very vocal woman, whom we assumed was the owner berated an...

Yuk! I took one of 'everyting' they had which was 4 items. A cupcake, a scone, a cookie and a Rugelach. Too sweet! I felt like I was gringing my teeth there was so much and such big chuncks of sugar on everything! And the prices were outragous as well. In this case unfortunately I could say Starbucks is better in this crazy price range for variety and quality.

I heard about this bakery from a friend who had her wedding cake done by them (which looked spectacular and tasted delicious). I ordered some of the rugelach and flourless chocolate cake which Tipsycake can deilver. The rugelach was so moist and tasty and I really loved the apricot flavor one. The flourless chocolate cake was also divine, I served it at work for a colleague's birthday with...

I went to tipsycake to get a cake. When I picked it up, it looked like a child had done the decortions. Once we served the cake it was the worst tasting cake I have had in a while. It was dry and tasteless. After calling to complain to the owner / chef . was one of the most unhelpfull and rude person I have talked to in a while. I would never go there again
