Wedding Experience 5/3/2011

Our wedding cake was delicious, but we had a mixed experience. We ordered a red velvet cake with cream cheese filling, but nobody could tell it was cream cheese because the buttercream/fondant outer layer was overpowering. We actually thought the cake had been made incorrectly. The scrolling on our cake was also not what we had asked for. more

Shocked 10/1/2010

Before i write my review. i would like it noted that we used to enjoy going to this place until this last time, which during these hard times our country are facing is sad statement. more

Best bakery around!! 10/23/2008

We had always heard about "Lovin Oven" but it sounded like a hostess cupcake outlet to me (the name)! Well, we finally tried it and it is amazing. They have the best cookies, cakes, pastries - you name it. The prices are pretty good and I've always had good service. I may have to wait behind a few people but it's not a big deal - it's a very popular place. Depends when you go -- mornings are always busier. A friend ordered her wedding cake from Lovin Oven and it was beautiful and really tasted good. Love this place! more

Excellent bakery in the burbs! 8/17/2008

Lovin Oven is one of the best bakeries in Lake County and can stand toe to toe with the VERY best ethnic bakeries in the city of Chicago. Pros: Great Selection Cons: Popular so sometimes there is a wait for service more

Personal planner was not helpful!!! BEWARE! 5/30/2008

I was trying to be creative in planning a special cupcake order, and the personal planner was lacking in her ability to envision something unique. She was not willing to offer different types of cake, filling, or cupcake papers because the cupcakes are "made in bulk". When asked if we could arrange a time to speak with the baker because of our concerns about the difficulty of the request and capability to make the cupcake, the planner would not allow us the peace of mind because "they are too busy to talk to you". I am now at the mercy of what the baker can do and what the planner can explain (party is next week). What I thought would be a fun experience turned out to be a very unpleasant encounter. I will say that the cake itself tasted great, but its not enough of an incentive to be ordering from this bakery again for special occasions. I would rather have good cake with excellent service than a great cake with lousy service! more

HEAVENLY!!!! 4/8/2008

This is the best bakery my family has ever been to! We refuse to buy cakes/cookies/pastries from anywhere else! They do all our cakes including my wedding cake which was to die for and gorgeous! The best thing is a Swedish Flip Flop cake, they are soo good it is hard to not eat the entire thing at once! You will not find a better bakery anywhere. They may be a long line, but it is well worth it! Pros: I could eat everything in this bakery! Cons: Sometimes a little bit of a wait more

The Best Around........ 2/7/2008

They created the cake for my wedding and EVERY birthday, in my family. I would say that I have at least 4-10 cakes baked a year. \r There has never been a time that I was disappointed, they always meet and/or exceed my expectations. more

You will not find a better cakery. 1/1/2008

I special ordered my husband's 30th Birthday cake from Lovin' Oven. So good! People still talk about it (the cake-not the party) 3 years later! I spent nearly an hour designing the cake and picking the cakes and frostings with the cake expert there. I knew I wanted the cake to look like a pile of presents. We found a colorful balloon in the store to model the cake after. The colors were vibrant green, blue, yellow and red. The "presents" each had a diffrent type of "wrapping paper" for example, one had little 30's all over it and another had swirls all over it it. The expert was even helpful in regards to the bows for the "packages." I wanted to use fondant frosting so the bows could be edible. She suggested otherwise because the cake was so big and multi-layered it would be hard to cut through the fondant. We used real ribbon instead which made it look even more realistic. The cake was delivered and just stunnning for 130.00 to feed 70 people if i recall. A bit much if you ask me, but like I said, people still talk about that yummy, beautiful cake. I will go again for my next big event! more

Yummy yummy yummy cakes! 7/3/2007

Lovin Oven did our wedding cake -- beautiful, professional & very delicious! Everyone who lives in the area knows that they have the best cakes! They have a great reputation in the community, and I know from personal experience. We order from them for birthdays and everything is wonderful every time... more

Best Cake in the Burbs! 11/2/2006

We have used Lovin' Oven since we moved out to the North Suburban area. Our wedding cake was beautifully done, exactly as we wanted. Our friends and family often request cakes from there. Pros: Excellent cookies and treats. Cons: I'm not a big fan of their breads. more

Best Cakes Around!! 8/6/2006

The best place you can get your cakes from, hands down!! My wedding cake was from Lovin Oven and with my daughter turning 1 in September, so will her birthday cakes!! So worth it! I know plenty of people who will drive a great distance just to get their cake from Lovin Oven. Cakes are always moist and tast the best and their desserts and anything else you buy is top of the line!! You will not be disappointed!! Pros: Beautifully Decorated Cakes and they are so moist and the best you'll ever have! more

FANTASTIC 5/31/2006

A family place to get your cakes, Lovin-Over. The name says it all! The would drive 60 miles to get a cake or their Low - Crab Cookies, mmmmmm. And that is no lie! The best!!! Pros: On Time/Good Parking, Great Low Crab, Freshly Baked Cakes more

long wait... not the best service 11/17/2005

besides thier overly sugary pasteries and very slow service this bakery does not have much to offer. They hire lots of rude teens to do work and I dont like that approach to selling. It also has a bad location. more

Lovin oven is the best 10/29/2005

Great Bakery 9/1/2005

This bakery has just about everything. The pastys and breads are really good but one look at the cake display case will put you in heaven. The desserts are awesome and very reasonably priced. more
