Lutz on Montrose cakes are so yummy! I don't know if they do the special shape cakes, but as you said another cake had no taste - theirs are awesome.
Another bakery just opened in St Charles (their 2nd location). The Bakers Basket. Very good cakes, donuts, bread, etc. And they do custom cakes. I totally forgot they added this location. They are at Randall & Rt 38 (Roosevelt Rd).
