Central Continental Bakery

Dude. There are a lot of places in the Mount Prospect area where you can grab a run of the mill baked good. There are two Mariano's within driving distance. What CCB offers that other bakery's don't is flavor. I bought a carrot cake the other week and you can actually taste the spices. Most places make the frosting so sweet that it overpowers the rest of the ingredients. I had a chocolate torte that I was expecting to be very sweet and was pleasantly surprised when it was well balanced. They made me a customer. Now if they'd only start offering some vegan options....

We’ve been getting cakes at Continental backery since our son was 1 year old, and every time I come to them with an idea they deliver! I love that they are able to take an idea of mine do the best to their ability to make it come as close to what we envisioned. They do not disappoint. Not only is it aesthetically pleasing but the flavors of the cakes themselves are absolutely delicious.

Best Baby Shower Cake Ever!! We've been customers of Continental Bakery for over thirty years. They never disappoint.......they have the friendliest, most professional staff who listen to what we asked for and gave us the most beautiful cake imaginable. It's a team effort beginning with Stacey who has the patience of a saint; followed by Chris the cake decorator who's roses on the cake were like small works of art. And they are helpful beyond belief; Briana, Rachel others help me load the cake into the car and surround it for the long journey from Mt. Prospect to Vernon Hills.......And Stacey's recommendation of the strawberry bavarian filling was perfect. The cake sliced beautifully and was the talk of the shower. Thank you all so very very much. P.S. I'm pretty sure the bakery has a photo of the cake, so ask to see it.....its beautiful!!

Continental Bakery did such a wonderful job for my sons 5th birthday cake! The cake was delicious, and they did such a great job decorating it!

My daughter loves the mini pecan tarts. The paczki is the best....so much to choose from but hands down the best apricot ones anywhere. Routinely go for the decorated sugar cookies.....rarely do pretty cookies taste good but this recipe is perfection.
