Amy Beck was AMAZING. I really appreciated that every time I called or stopped by, I interacted directly with Amy, not another employee. Her cake for us was an artistic masterpiece. It completely exceeded my expectations. It was absolutely the showstopper centerpiece of our reception. I think that it has been tagged on facebook in my wedding photos by our guests more than I have!
You are missing out if you don't use Amy Beck for your wedding cake.

Amy was great to work with. I told her what I wanted for my cake design, and on the day of my wedding, it was exactly what I had envisioned.

The cake itself was DELICIOUS. I had several guests tell me it was the best wedding cake they had ever eaten. Having a beautiful AND tasty wedding cake is hard to find, but Amy Beck did an amazing job.

I'd recommend her to any bride!

After hearing Amy Beck's name several times throughout the wedding planning process, my fiance and I decided to arrange a consultation with her for our wedding cupcakes. Not only were we blown away by all the delicious cake flavors we tasted, but we were also blown away by Amy's incredible creativity! Inspired by our invitations, she created the most beautiful replica for our top tier, along with a tower of equally beautiful cupcakes, which our guests RAVED about all night (and even after the wedding!). We absolutely could not be happier with the end result, and we would recommend Amy Beck to any bride in a heartbeat!

I recommend Amy Beck for your wedding without any reservations! She was extremely flexible and accomodating with tasting appointments, which was very important to me as my work schedule can stay pretty crazy and unpredictable. Her cakes actually tasted amazing...not just good for a wedding cake, but Amazing for cakes in general. And, they were beautiful, creative, and perfectly executed! I had guests all night tell me not only that the cakes were lovely, but that they were the absolute best wedding cake they have ever had. The only negative thing I can say is that there was not much left over for me to enjoy!!

I absolutely loved my wedding cakes! I saw Amy at a bridal show and out of all the cakes I saw and tasted, hers drew me in immediately. The cake on display was so me. We made an appointment for taste testing--everything was wonderful! We tweaked the cake we saw a bit and we added a groom's cake that looked like a mummy (we had a Halloween wedding). Everything was so tasty and beautiful and we had so many wonderful compliments from our guests! I am very happy that we chose Amy to help make our day so special!

Amy did a grooms cake for me - my husband loves Mark Knopfler so I gave her a picture of a signature guitar. Everyone thought it was so cool! Not only did she replicate the guitar, but she replicated his signature on there! VERY NEAT! My tasting was a lot of fun - I was keeping it a secret from my husband so I went there alone and had a great time tasting and a hard time choosing! Amy helped me pick out some great combos of cake/frosting - Yum! I loved the laid back atmosphere of the tasting and knew that I was in good hands - Amy obviously knew what she was doing and all around me were these beautiful cakes they were making for other events. I was overwhelmed with how stunning these designs were. My cake was beautifully presented at the reception and I couldn't have been more pleased. I got a lot of compliments on it!

The cake was beautiful. The only issue I had was that they pushed hard for fondont which looks great but had to be peeled off to make the cake edible. The vanilla layer with cream cheese frosting was a bit bland but the chocalte cake with rasperry filling was out of this world. Would definately recommend them....

Amy was a pleasure to work with. She took our dream wedding cake and made it a reality. The cake looked amazing, and more importantly, it was delicious! The price was also good for the quality of the cake. She even made the top tier gluten-free for me! It was so great to be able to eat my own wedding cake.

We chose Amy to make our cake because her cakes were both unique and affordable compared to other bakeries. She was very flexible in terms of layer fillings and design. On the day of the wedding, we were blown away by how beautiful the cake was, and everyone complimented us on how delicious it was as well!!

We wanted it all for our wedding cake – it needed to look amazing but taste fantastic too. Amy Beck completely delivered! We were blown away when we tasted her cake and fillings and butter cream. AMAZING!

We had 3 different flavors each one was wonderful –
Top and second tier: vanilla buttercake with raspberry
buttercream
Third tier: Coconut cake with key lime pie buttercream
Bottom tier: Chocolate bourbon cake with hazelnut
Buttercream

We discussed designs with her and she was very helpful with what would look good. She took some of the designs that were a part of our day and incorporated into the cake.
I LOVED that it was square, but also the layers were varying heights! BEAUTIFUL AND YUMMY!
I have posted photos in my profile here as well.

Her cakes are not cheap, but we found it was worth it!

There is no way to even come close to describing how absolutely wonderful Amy Beck of Amy Beck Cake Design is. The first time we met with Amy we absolutely loved her. We had our parents with us in addition to our wedding planner and Amy took the time to address each individual person's concerns and ideas. She was so patient with us and had such wonderful ideas. We felt so comfortable with her. Our cake was absolutely breathtaking. We asked Amy to incorporate design from my wedding dress as well as our own personal motif that we had designed into the cake, and she could not have done this better. We had a 5 tier cake, with each tier a different flavor combination, and Amy incorporated cascadng stephanotis flowers in different shades of teal blue (our color). She also made an AMAZING groom's cake in the shape of Southpaw (the Chicago White Sox mascot) for my husband and he could not have been more thrilled. In addition to the breathtaking design of our cake, the cake was absolutely delicious. No one stopped talking about it for weeks after the wedding. We love Amy Beck Cake Design and plan on coming to her for all of our future events. We strongly recommend her.

Oh my lord is this woman talented!!! She took my vision and executed it PERFECTLY. I should also point out that she was so pregnant she was ready to burst, but she still managed to take care of my cake (and do an AMAZING job with it) and get it delivered with plenty of time to spare. And the cake was delicious. Seriously. We had three tiers, and the chocolate bourbon/peanut butter tier was devoured entirely. I'm bummed that there were not leftovers of the chocolate, but at least we get the other two flavors. Yum! And again, it just looked wonderful. People were talking about it all night.

Amy designed our wedding cake. We went through photos together, showed her what we liked, then she made sketches incorporating details and our own requests for design. It was the most gorgeous cake, and it turned out so much better than I even hoped it would. The guests made so many positive comments about how creative, beautiful and delicious this cake was, and even the photographer must have taken 20 photos of it. Amy was easy to work with, friendly, creative, and excellent at her job! The cake was delivered on time and she took care of the details. The cake was one of my favorite parts of the wedding - would recommend her to anyone!

Amy was great to work with- once we got in the door. When we arrived for our appointment, which had been confirmed twice, she had just sat down with another couple who claimed to have our appointment time. She wouldn't see us then, since she had already started with them, so we grabbed a drink and came back- she apologized and recognized the error, so no harm done. Her cakes are lovely, but we wanted a simple chocolate buttercream cake. She was unobtrusive and let us taste and talk in private. We found a design she had already done but that we loved- a combed buttercream cake topped with fresh flowers, and we decided that it was the one for us. We used butter cake with pistachio filling or hazelnut filling for the top tiers, and chocolate with strawberry for the bottom, all robed in a delish chocolate buttercream. Everyone loved it- tehre was barely any left at the end of the night. Beautiful, too. Thanks Amy!

Outstanding work! Amy is a pleasure to work with. Her cakes taste wonderful (we did a vanilla cake with raspberry buttercream, then a layer of almond with almond buttercream), and they are truly breathtaking. She designed our cake from scratch based on various pictures that I showed her...it was perfect. The colors were spot on, and the artwork was flawless. And, as already said, the cake was delicious, too. In fact, it was so good we weren't able to save our top tier for our first anniversary...we ate it the night after our Sunday morning wedding! I'm already planning on having Amy make a scaled-down version for our 1st anniversary.
You can't go wrong with this vendor - highly recommended!
