I am looking for a local bakery that can do a design on a sugar cookie for an event. Looking for about 100 cookies. Am I dreaming or does such a place exist?

How far are you willing to go? Jarosch Bakery in Elk Grove is literally the best!
Does anyone know of a great decent priced bakery that makes specially designed cakes? For my soon to be 18 yr old so would like something special. Thanks in advance!

I don't have any suggestions, other than to make sure the baker uses by the correct shade of TARDIS blue (which varies depending upon which Doctor you want it to be based off of-- 10 is much bluer than 4, but 11 & 12 are bluer than all of their predecessors). Also, maybe see if you can get one of those sound effect pieces, or greeting cards where you can record your own greeting? Get a recording of the TARDIS "braking" sound (you know: "It's not supposed to make that sound-- YOU leave the brakes on." - River Song). Put the sound piece where it makes noise every time someone does a certain thing-- uncovers the cake, cuts a piece, takes the piece off the pan, etc.) Or you could somehow use some LEDs to strobe and randomly strobe at the top if the TARDIS. Just a suggestion. You can also ask in Science Fiction groups if anyone has suggestions for Tardis cake design or tricks.

Personally I think Ambrosia Patisserie in Barrington is THE best around (flavor is top notch, decor is outstanding, etc...). If it were me I would get the cake from Ambrosia. You will not be disappointed.
Does anyone know if there is a local bakery that makes gluten free products? Specifically bread? I am sick of the frozen kind and want to find fresh. TIA!

The Canyon Bakehouse is pretty good and not frozen. Have different varieties plus bagels & brownies. Super T usually has it in bakery section.
