Highlights

I am a self-taught baker with New Orleans roots, currently residing in the historic neighborhood of Bronzeville. Having relocated in February 2022 from New Orleans on my own personal Great Migration, I've continued to pursue my passion for baking in Chicago. Since settling here, I've had the privilege of collaborating with major corporations, supporting local Chicago businesses, and contributing to nonprofit organizations. My New Orleans heritage deeply influences my life and sets me apart as a baker dedicated to bringing authentic New Orleans flavors to Chicagoland. I have been personally responsible for the design and construction of my legendary custom cakes. Each cake is meticulously hand-designed and tailored to suit the unique occasion it celebrates. I take great pride in creating not just delicious treats but also unforgettable experiences. Baking has become more than just a hobby or a profession for me; it is a way for me to spread love, joy, and happiness through my art. I look forward to continuing this journey and sharing my creations with the world.

"This charming café and bakery is located just off of 35th street in Bronzeville and has a full menu of breakfast items and regular bakery favorites, as well as three vegan bakery options. Their vegan chocolate chip and shortbread cookies are a delightful treat to bring along with you down the street to Lake Michigan, but their vegan banana pudding jar is really the first thing you should try. Layered in an 8oz glass mason jar are banana bread, coconut whipped cream, banana pudding, and shortbread cookie pieces. The coconut cream is smooth, and the pudding layer is rich with a banana flavor that isn’t overwhelming. Dare we say, this dessert may even have the power to convert the strongest of banana haters." - Cyd Seifert

This is my second year buying care packages for my Loyola student. Elisa's desserts are amazing, and a loved surprise by my daughter. I can never get a complete pic of the treats, because she and her roommate dig right in! A wonderful, local Chicago small business!! Well done Elisa! 🩷

I ordered a king cake for Mardi Gras.... let me say after living in NOLA for several years it felt great to be able to find this special gem in my hometown. It tasted just like New Orleans. Absolutely moist and very sweet... loved it. And will be ordering again.... Oh and recently got a taste of their cookie cake... hands down the best thing ever!

Elisa's King Cake was 🔥🔥🔥. Perfect amount of icing, beautifully decorated, cinnamon-y and delicious. I ordered for a Mardi Gras party on Saturday night and just enjoyed the last slice as my Mardi Gras breakfast. Will absolutely order again.

This cake was excellent. The owner was so gracious. She helped me out of a serious bind. And when tell you she delivered...she did. The cake was beautiful and very tasty.

Excellent desserts, (literally my favorite cupcakes to get from anywhere) & Elisa is always so great to work with. I've gotten cupcakes, bigger birthday cakes, a dessert sampler; they are always a hit, and so creative!! My kids love the do-it-yourself cupcake kits she offers for holidays. She's my go-to and I highly recommend to anyone!!!

Elisa and her cakes are E-VE-RY-THING! I ordered this cake for my mom's 80th bday, the service was impeccable and Elisa is such a delight to work with. The cake tastes as good as it looks. Can't wait for another celebration to order again!
