European craftsmanship.
From cascading flowers to fresh-sliced strawberries, you can tell everything about a Lutz wedding cake is created just for you! Our bakery employs many associates, each with their own specialty. Some bake, some assemble, some decorate and some create. Many hands go into creating a cake that is uniquely yours.
The result is heirloom-quality work that arrives feeling personal, never mass-produced. A cake that is uniquely yours, the moment it leaves Montrose Avenue.
Over seventy-five years of tradition.
In 1948, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Lutz opened their shop on Montrose Avenue in Chicago, where it continues to operate and serve it’s customers. They brought their European influence, traditions and methods which continue to be part of the baking done today. A Lutz cake is in a class of it’s own … and it will be part of your wedding memories for years to come.
