“Nadiya and her team were amazing for our wedding! After doing a tasting with her, I knew I wanted her to bake my cake and other sweets for my wedding.”
“[Nadiya] is one of the most receptive bakers I’ve ever worked with, and has found a perfect balance between letting you execute your vision with offering her experienced opinion to create a finished product that is truly one of a kind in the business.”
“Her team was available to help us with follow-up questions and gave us recommendations when we weren't sure which direction to go. Our cake turned out better than we could have ever imagined and our guests LOVED it.“
“We're so glad to have Nadiya's Cupcakes in our wedding! It was hard to find the wedding cake we love in Chicago and we were so lucky to have Nadiya to help us.“
“Nadiya was very descriptive of how the process would go with design the cake and delivery. She made me feel comfortable that everything will go smoothly. We also added macaroons to the order for the guests that were staying the houses.”
“The flavors were absolutely delicious, and the pairings worked out really well — definitely listen to Nadiya’s suggestions if you’re unsure where to start!"
"I had a vision idea, but letting a true cake artist take over and make it come to live completely blew us out of the water. The design was intricate, classy, elevated, and elegant, and was such a good fit for both the venue and us as a couple.”
“Nadiya's Cupcakes was the most professional vendor that we hired for our wedding. Excellent customer service and a great pleasure to work with! The whole process was seamless and straightforward, and our cake was beautiful and very delicious!“
“I thought [it] was very thoughtful [how] very detailed their wedding cake sampling [was], Nadiya made a beautiful sample box for [us] to try and the presentation of it was a solid A+ which made it easy for my Husband and I to choose our flavors. Highly recommend.“
"We want to thank Nadiya's Cupcakes for such a beautiful experience with cupcakes instead of a traditional cake it was beyond our expectations and just a beautiful all around experience."
“Nadiya was her team were incredible to work with! One of my biggest concerns when finding a cake vendor for our wedding was someone who could accommodate my food allergies in a safe environment and they did a great job!“
“Nadiya delivered above and beyond for our wedding and we could not have been more thrilled!“
“She is a small business owner and takes care of her couples and ensures she delivers exactly what they want. Our guests were amazed at our cake, and yours will be too! Choose Nadiya's Cupcakes, she will be the best vendor you have that day!”
“Nadiya is very easy to work with and she listens to what you want and she made the most delicious and gorgeous cupcakes for my daughter’s bridal shower. Would 100% recommended using Nadiya’s Cupcakes.”
"I also ordered some cupcakes and again she did not disappoint. She even delivered and set up everything at the venue. I was so pleased with how she handled everything. I would definitely recommend her cakes!"
“She was extremely thorough and attentive to all emails. The cake reveal on our wedding day was absolutely spectacular. 10/10 on taste, presentation, professionalism. Everything was amazing.“
“Her desserts are the perfect amount of sweet, and not that pure sugar icing we're used to tasting on other cakes. We went with a naked cake with florals and it was absolutely GORGEOUS. I am literally already trying to think of excuses to order more cakes from her. “
"I was so mind blown when I saw the final product on our big day. It exceeded any expectations I ever had and not only was it beyond beautiful, but also incredibly delicious. I would highly recommend for any event you need a cake or bake goods for!"
“All I can say is. Wow! From the first time my husband and I met with her we could tell we were in more than capable hands! Nadiya listened to us, she asked us about our vision and what we expected for our big day!”
"Nadiya has been so pleasant and flexible to work with. [Her] communication, adaptability, and advice were impeccable."

Wedding Decorations
Decorations are hand-crafted from scratch for every wedding order. Custom dessert designs can be arranged to match your wedding theme, including custom acrylic toppers and charms, sugar and fresh flowers, and figurines. Our specialty is buttercream and we do not use fondant.
We want to take the stress out of your planning, so that is why every wedding order is eligible for delivery and set-up services. The services includes travel time and final set-up with flowers, cake toppers and touch-ups. We do not provide plates, napkins, etc. Service cost for large orders will be adjusted.
Chicago rate: $75 per hour
Chicago suburbs rate: $55 per hour
Once delivery and set-up are complete, handling is out of our control and we cannot promise safe handling by others. Cake and desserts should NOT be left out for more than 4 hours in warm climate because buttercream will begin to soften and decorations may fall. Refrigeration may be necessary.
All Wedding Orders require a minimum 6 week lead time.
To formally book Nadiya’s Cupcakes for your wedding day, we require a non-refundable $250 payment that will go towards the overall order. We may accommodate changes to the order and make any necessary adjustments to the final price until 4 weeks before the Wedding Date which is when the final payment will be due; orders cannot be cancelled after this time. Payments made in less than 4 weeks of the order’s Wedding Date may be subject to a 15% late fee, and any events that are less than 6 weeks away from their Wedding Date will need to be paid in full.
