About Us
Wonderland Sweets Bakery
Wonderland Sweets Bakery is currently running out of the commercial kitchen that Mendelssohn PAC offers in Downtown Rockford, IL. Our main goal is to prepare all cakes, sweets, pastries and confections using fresh, real ingredients. We enjoy presenting them with our unique designs using items such as organic edible flowers, handcrafted meringues, Belgian chocolate drips and 24K gold leaf! We love to execute traditional favorites simply as well as creating new spins on old classics by pairing combinations of fruits, herbs, nuts, cheeses, etc.
All of our goods are handcrafted, baked and served with a side of love. You’ll need to taste them for yourself!
Storefront Coming Soon!
