Special events call for special treats. From birthdays to anniversaries to weddings, cakes in Schaumburg, IL, often take center stage.

Let’s focus here on wedding cakes because that’s one of the things we do so very well here at Jarosch Bakery. We consider it one of our crowd-pleasing favorites that makes a special day even more celebratory.

A wedding cake is the focal part of every magical moment during the reception. How many times have you seen photos and videos of a cake-cutting and marveled at the beauty of the cake? So, how do you choose the right cake for your big day?

The first step is to think of your wedding’s theme. That will help lay the groundwork for the type of cakes you should ponder. Once you’ve thought about matching your theme, consider the season as well. Different seasons suggest different designs. We suggest that it’s always a good idea to check out samples ahead of time so you aren’t rushed to make a decision.

Don’t forget to make sure you get your favorite flavor. After all, it’s your cake and your wedding so it’s one time you should put your needs first.

The last point to keep in mind is the budget. Some say this is the first point, but when you’ve decided upon the cake you want, you can find the perfect example that will fit into your financial means.

Father’s Day is coming up. If your Dad has a sweet tooth and you’re looking for something to do for him, why not hit both targets with some cookies in Arlington Heights from Jarosch Bakery? Our cookie kits are just as fun to put together as they are to eat and a perfect way to spend time making something sweet and tasty.

These DIY cookies are easy for anyone to put together, making them an ideal project for the youngest members of the family and everyone else.

These are sure to be a big hit, so we recommend placing a pre-order.

You can put the kit together before the big day and present it to your Dad on the big day, or wait till Father’s Day and do it together as a special project. It’s terrific for the Dad who’s a handyman and for those who just wish they were.

Butter cookies are a popular favorite at Christmastime, but they certainly aren’t limited to just one season.

Order a custom cookie platter, and you’ll soon have the perfect present for someone special or a dish for an event. Bakeries often provide wrapping services for their products to help save you time and make your favors look festive. Having cookies custom-made allows you to get creative with colors, shapes, decorations, and themes for a dessert that looks as good as it tastes. Plus, ordering a whole platter of them makes it easy to serve even dozens of guests so that everyone can sample these tasty treats. You can arrange the assortment or let the bakery choose for you.

There’s no doubt that social distancing has put a damper on parties, but that doesn’t mean a birthday can’t still be a festive occasion.

A local eatery like Jarosch Bakery can create specially made cakes in Schaumburg, IL, baked to your unique preferences. From the frosting to fillings and flavors, you can decide exactly how you want your cake to be and share a celebratory slice without having to bake on your birthday.

The benefit of a bakery cake is that it can match your imagination. You could request a sweet message written in icing at the top, a certain shape or colors, multiple tiers, or your child’s favorite character smiling up at them. This could be a great gift to make a family member’s birthday memorable and keep up a cherished time-honored tradition, even if the rest of the celebration looks a little different this year. Every birthday deserves a cake, and custom-made from a professional bakery is the very best kind.

Showing Love with Bakery Treats

Food has always been a way to show your love to someone who holds a special place in your heart. From your favorite casserole to home-baked bread to sweets, food says, “I love you!” in the most delicious way.

Extend the love of Valentine’s Day to your entire family with a buttery coffee cake with cherry preserves shaped like a heart. They’ll show their appreciation with swift consumption. Or consider a centerpiece cake – three layers with strawberry cream filling and ombre-pink buttercream icing dotted with white chocolate hearts — sweets for the sweet.

Feb. 16 is an auspicious day when two holidays come together. Celebrate Paczki Day and Mardi Gras on Feb. 16 with the pastries that are synonymous with each occasion – paczki and King’s Cake. Mark the holiday with these pastries in Schaumburg. And just on this one day, our bakers have decided to declare the calorie count as 0 for both treats!

Paczki

Who can resist paczki — a yeast doughnut filled with jam and covered with powdered sugar? Tasty and sweet, this Polish delicacy isn’t limited to those of Polish descent. This is something people of all nationalities can enjoy. Be sure to seek paczki with plenty of jam, such as strawberry, apricot, blueberry or lemon. Our bakers like to overfill these treats. Other yummy fillings include cheese, custard, and chocolate.

King’s Cake

Another great reason to consume baked goods on Feb. 16 is Mardis Gras. There is a limited time to delight in King’s Cake – only during Mardi Gras – because it’s thought to be bad luck to eat this treat out of season.

One excellent recipe for these pastries in Schaumburg calls for filling Danish coffeecake dough with butter, raspberry, or almond. Our bakers drizzle icing on top and sprinkle with colored sugar. Of course, they add beads and the baby figurine.
