Amy Beck Cake Design

Amy Beck Cake Design is a cake studio located in Chicago’s River West neighborhood. Our cakes are an important part of life’s celebrations, whether it be a long anticipated wedding or a special birthday. Each cake is a personalized work of art, specific to your unique occasion. I believe with every celebration, the art stays with us, in our memories, in our pictures, in our stories… I love that clients invite us to be a part of their special occasions, trusting us to make our cakes as memorable as possible, in both design and taste. I want to work with you and your family to bring your vision to life. We will work together to achieve a customized, tailor made cake to remember for years to come… We specialize not only in cakes, but also small desserts such as cupcakes, mini cakes, petit fors, cookies, cake pops, and macarons.

With less than 700 square feet and a non-existent startup budget, Amy Beck Cake Design was launched in 2006. Originally located in the commercially zoned garden level space of a Lincoln Park single family home, one yelp reviewer commented “Folks, this one is a secret find…”. Focusing on the latest trends, designs and styles, Amy Beck Cake Design has positively influenced the Chicago Wedding Cake Industry, which now competes for culinary and design leadership with sophisticated marketplaces in New York and California. Since launch, Amy Beck Cake Design has been featured on national television and countless publications. In 2011, in response to increased demand, Amy Beck Cake Design expanded to its current location in historic River West. Amy recently celebrated 13 years!
