Balls Are Sweet - Chicago

Amazing gluten free cookie with frosting, and flourless chocolate cake!!! They also have divine vegan cupcakes. I wish they would make the cookie gluten free and vegan. They didn't have any options that were both.

Finding the perfect bakery for a custom birthday cake can be quite the quest, but after diligent research, I settled on Sweet Mandy Bs. Beyond the stellar reviews, the name resonated with me as my sister shares the same moniker--felt like a sign. And indeed, it was. When I called a few days prior to my son's 5th birthday, the warmth and patience over the phone were reassuring. I explained my son's passion for entomology and his specific bug-themed cake requests. Though the cake style I initially envisioned wasn't their usual, they promised excellence in their bug designs, and they delivered! Walking into the bakery, I was greeted with genuine smiles--a welcoming touch that resonated with my family's background in the restaurant industry. Despite one staff member being new, their transparency and eagerness to assist were commendable. The manager, whose name escapes me, exuded enthusiasm as she presented the cake--a beautiful sight to behold. When I requested a few more bugs on the cake, she promptly consulted her team, ensuring my wishes were met. Minutes later, the enhanced cake emerged, retaining its beauty, now adorned with even more intricate bug designs. The manager even offered photography tips to capture the cake's essence. At the party, the cake stole the show, eliciting joy from all, especially my son. Countless guests inquired about its origin, impressed not only by its appearance but also by its reputation for delicious cakes. Thank you, Sweet Mandy Bs, for exceeding expectations and making my little entomologist's birthday truly unforgettable. A well-deserved 5-star rating indeed.

I came here to try their vegan treats. We got a chocolate and vanilla cupcakes with buttercream frosting and a peanut butter bar dessert. They all tasted great, but my favorite was the vanilla cupcake. This place also offers vegan milks (soy, oat, almond) and plenty of other typical cafe drinks. There is a decent amount of indoor seating. It's a cute little cafe. The workers were nice. I'd definitely return to get the cupcakes again.

After lunch in the area we decided to try this place since I heard great things about it. We got banana pudding and chocolate pudding. Also a walnut brownie and a peanut butter cupcake cake. The banana pudding was so delicious with nilla and pieces of banana in every layer. The chocolate pudding was good. The walnut brownie was delicious and there were a a lot of walnuts. The peanut butter cupcake was good. The frosting was made out of peanut butter but a bit too sweet but good. I will be back especially for the banana pudding

Great custom made cakes! they are very accommodating and fast with only needing a few days notice. the cakes and all desserts are always fresh and look very cute i only wish there was online ordering for custom cakes you have to call to place the order and it's very busy so hard to hear and you have to repeat yourself. Would love if they updated their website for online custom cake orders.
