custom crafted confections

Turn your gatherings into celebrations with unique, hand-crafted and designed desserts that please both the eye and the palate.  Based in the Chicagoland area, we take all orders online, and bake our confections from scratch in our home kitchen.  Browse our portfolio of specialty cakes, custom cookies and other confections and place an order for your next event!

All of our cakes are uniquely custom and made-to-order.  With a variety of flavors, fillings, frostings and styles, we have something for everybody.  Each cake is thoughtfully designed and crafted with an artist's eye for detail.  We aim to provide decadent, delicious cakes that look (almost) too pretty to eat!

Looking for a special treat that's not a cake? We've got you covered with our creative, hand-decorated and piped cookies. Our cookie recipe uses a buttery shortbread foundation, and is topped and decorated with deliciously flavored royal icing. Customers love that our cookies have *just* the right amount of sweetness, and our unique designs are sure to please.  Freehand Bakery also makes other confections, including cake pops, macaroons, and cookie cakes!
