Life is uncertain...eat dessert first!

Story

Since 1930, my family has been baking quality products for dessert lovers like you.

Our story begins with my grandfather, John Slove, being hired to work as an apprentice in a Chicago bakery. While there he learned everything there is to know about baking. Then, in 1946, he and my grandmother, Grace, opened their own store on Diversey Avenue in Chicago – Slove Bakery.

My grandparents’ goals were to produce great quality dessert products and to provide excellent customer service: grandpa did the baking; grandma the hand shaking. Through hard work and determination they grew the business and the bakery’s reputation as one of the finest in the Chicagoland area.

Eight years later grandma discovered she also had a bun in the oven – my father, Ken. In recognition of his birth, they changed the name of the store to Slove and Son Bakery. It turned out to be prophetic. In time my father, too, would become a master baker.

Flash forward about 19 years. My father married Betty, his high school sweetheart, and took over the family business after my grandparents passed. The store had moved to Lindenhurst and was now named Slove’s Country Charm. Dad baked gourmet cakes and every treat under the sun, while mom mastered the fine art of customer service.

Then, in 1989, my parents moved the store to our current location in Round Lake Beach and coined the term Cakery which, to keep things short and sweet – like a mini chocolate éclair (Sorry, I love chocolate!), explains how Lovin Oven Cakery was born.

That’s our story. Thank you for supporting our dream and enabling us to continue the tradition started by my grandfather more than 75 years ago; in doing so, you have ensured that our family recipes will delight dessert lovers for generations to come.

With sweet affection and an affection for sweets,

Matt Slove

I have always had wonderful experiences with this bakery. However when I went two months ago to place an order for my daughters birthday cake I had an experience that almost deterred me for good. I asked the woman if they could make a particular cake for me and how much it would cost. She said I don’t know call the Antioch location. I said okay, how long before the party do I need to order it. She said I don’t know, call the Antioch location. I then decided I was wasting my time and asked about how much for a dozen donuts and she said idk it’s 1.47 a donuts so do the math. Whilst I was completely turned off from this experience my about to be two year old still wanted to get a donut before we left. When I asked for it she made a comment of “will she even like it” as if I don’t know what my kid will like. She then proceeded to make a comment on how she will hate her curls as she gets older. The entire experience left a horrible taste in my mouth. I tried everywhere else to order a cake and was running out of time, so I finally decided to go back to this location. Everyone I spoke to this second time around was so knowledgeable and kind. Shirley did a fantastic job and went above and beyond by not only calling another location for me to find out if I could order special donuts. When my picture for the cake wouldn’t send through she went and found one on her own. She was so wonderful. The cake and donuts turned out amazing and was fantastic! I was so very happy with the work she did and my daughter loved it all. Thank you Shirley so much for your kindness and the effort on your part to make my little girls day special I will be back!
Ordered my daughter's birthday cake. There wasn't a quote and I reasoned how much could a birthday cake be? 2 tiers for almost $200! Gd that's a lot! So it's whatever this will taste amazing. Nope. The cake was too dense and the crumb was sticky. I would never expect a bakery that has this crazy reputation to not know how to not over stir their cake batter. I'm not sure if they use cake flour or sift but the evidence would point otherwise. I know, then make my own. I do every time now.
Delicious as always!!! Was back home in Illinois for a visit. My son requested I bring a coffee cake back with me to the east coast. Thank you Kathy for all your help! Double bagging them kept them very fresh! We had them for breakfast today-
Lovin Oven does not disappoint! I recently ordered large sheet-sized marble cake for a retirement party at my work and the cake had everyone's attention for the amazing decoration job and of course, for the delicious cake, itself! I asked for a very detailed garden design and they knocked it out of the park. I would highly recommend Lovin Oven to anyone!
Truly and undeniably the best bakery I've ever been to. My family and I have been ordering cakes and picking up other treats from LOC for several years now and still goin' strong. IMHO this family-owned business is easily the best bakery/cakery in the Chicago area to say the least. Venue is always kept ultra clean and customer service continues to reign supreme. Prices have always been reasonable and although prices for specific cakes depending on the design may seem high, their work is well worth it. I still find myself coming to this location even though the cake baking is done up at the much bigger Antioch location. Ken Slove may have passed and he will be dearly missed but his legacy will live on. May his soul rest in peace. May God bless Ken & his family always.
Picked up a strawberry rhubarb pie and a pumpkin roll from here. Absolutely amazing. The pumpkin roll was easily the best I've ever eaten. Strawberry rhubarb pie never tasted so good either! The layout of this store is so unique! With a viewing area for the cake decorators! In the window not only do they have all the cakes you can purchase but quite a few wedding cakes/special orders on display! Kudos to the decorators! They do a great job!
I would give it five stars for the quality but every time I go here, everyone is grouchy and acts like it's my fault that they have to have a job. They could learn something from the people in Antioch who have the same great product but who also are cheerful, polite and helpful. Whenever I have the time, I drive the extra distance to Antioch.
Absolutely awesome bakery with a large variety of cookies, donuts, confections and cakes. The cakes are the best in the area!
Love this place for many reasons! Such delicious pastries and desserts! We came to Lovin Oven for them to make our wedding cake. The tasting was delicious! Alexandra helped us design our wedding cake and made our vision come to life. She is delightful to be around and such a friendly woman! We really enjoyed working with her. She was very helpful. The cake was delicious and our guests really enjoyed the different flavors and look of our cake. It was so pretty! Also, a year from now we can send them a photo of our cake and they will re-create the topper for free! I am looking forward to enjoying this again on our anniversary. If you are looking for a reasonable price, quality ingredients, and skilled staff you should come to Lovin Oven!
Love this place. Have gone here for various cakes birthday, gender reveal and everyone loves them. They offer sugar free cakes; unfortunately not dairy free - but still love this place.
