Trefzger's Bakery — Restaurant in Peoria Heights

We used Trefzger's for our wedding cakes. We were blown away by their professionalism, efficiency and punctuality. I knew I wanted 8 inch mini cakes on each table, and with over 400 people invited, we knew this wouldn't be an easy task. I went to them knowing they were probably the only people who could make 30+ 8 inch cakes and deliver them, AND make them delicious.

I tried many cakes but we ended up going with Red Velvet to match our colors, which was not even their most delicious in my opinion. However, on the day of, they were perfect. We did "naked" cakes, and this can get pretty detailed, as we still wanted some icing on the cake. We paid in advance to do a practice run of the cakes, and she even let me pick the different kind of gold sprinkles to go on (yes, there are many different kinds).

We worked with Martha the whole time, and she was quiet, but so precise and detail oriented. Honestly, I figured something would go wrong on the day of but no, each cake was perfect. The main cake we cut into was beautiful as well. We let guests cut into their own cake, and had people rave about how delicious it was all night. If you pick Trefzger's, you will not be disappointed.

It seemed like a cool place. A local staple (although I'm not local). They had lots of delicious looking things. I grabbed a few cookies and my family got some cupcakes and cinnamon rolls. The danishes and such were huge and looked good. The cakes looked wonderful with lots of fun flavor combinations to choose from. My daughter loved the orange chiffon cake and they even gave her some extra sprinkles. Very nice. Seemed like good people.

I don't want to put down a much beloved local spot but a few points to mention:. They strangely seem to use the same buttercream for everything. They had some eclairs which usual have chocolate ganache on the top but we're slathered with a thick layer of chocolate buttercream and the same for the eclairs and chocolate cream puffs. Monster cookies (the oatmeal and mix-in cookies) were flat and a bit over priced ($3+ each...they warned me it would be more expensive than the others for the record), and cream puffs were the size of my fist (not a bad thing just...off).

I'd happily go back but it isn't a place I would make a special trip for. I'd call it an above average local bakery and be lucky to have it in my...

Trefzger’s made our wedding cake, and we could not be more pleased! We both grew up in Peoria, so we knew we wanted Trefzger’s for our wedding, but we could not have imagined how great they would be! We met twice with Martha and talked to her several times on the phone, and she was SO helpful and so sweet! She even made a custom cake flavor for us, because we really wanted champagne cake with a strawberry jam filling. She made a sample for us to try, and it was AMAZING!! We ended up doing a small cake in the champagne & strawberry flavor, as well as 2 other cakes with different flavors and fillings, as well as a groom’s cake, and there were maybe 3 slices of cake left total at the end of the night—people LOVED all the flavors, which were all delicious, and we’re still getting compliments on the cake! Martha and her team delivered the cake to our Princeton, IL venue the day before the wedding so our florist could decorate it, and they worked so well with our venue and coordinator to make sure everything was ready to go! We’re so happy we could have our favorite bakery as part of our wedding day, and we can’t recommend them...
