So I've been doing keto for awhile now and usually for my birthday I don't have have or my wife makes a boxed keto cake but this year I was turning 40 so the wife said we need a nice cake. I used a keto bakery a few years ago out in Schaumburg so I looked them up and they are closed now so I was looking and found skinny piggy. We called and asked a few questions and the lady on the phone was nice and helpful. We ordered the cake online and it was delivered the next day! When I saw the cake I was like wow this is awesome. The cake was a hit at the party even people who aren't doing keto were like this is actually really good. I really want to that the team at skinny piggy for making this birthday awesome.

Could not have been an easier experience! Cake is beautiful and was delivered with plenty of time before the event. Thank you all so much! I cannot recommend Skinny Piggy enough!

First: a word of advice for people like me who don't take the time to thoroughly read the fine print when making an order. When picking your order time, make note of the delivery window: it may take up to an hour (mine did, and was still a few minutes late). If it wasn't for them reaching out to me 10 minutes before my delivery was to arrive and asking if I was open to a significantly later delivery time I would've never had known my delivery was going to be more than an hour later than the planned delivery time. I let them know this wouldn't work, and they were still a few minutes outside of their one hour delivery window. This wouldn't have been a big deal if I had read that footnote, but I also had to cancel my plans in order to stay home to meet this delivery person. I assumed it would arrive in official delivery vehicle of some sort (something with refrigeration, and the capacity for larger orders) but turns out to be just some dude in a Honda or whatever. It may have been an Uber driver, I'm not sure. On top of being late, he forgot the candles I ordered with the cake. This was my first time ordering from this place. First impressions mean a lot. I was wanting to try something different from our local bakery, Roesers. I was excited about a new cake shop, impressed that they deliver and that the reviews were pretty good. However, between waiting for the delivery guy and texting with a rep from SP (initially they sounded unsure if it could be delivered to me in the originally planned window, as they asked for a later time) - it all made me pretty anxious and disappointed since the cake was for a birthday that day and I started questioning my decision to try someplace new. The representative tried to be reassuring, but the delivery was still late and they forgot the previously mentioned candles. Not a great first impression.The actual cake impression: I ordered the pistachio round cake for 6-8 people. It arrived in a clear plastic box with a bow. Nice presentation, but to be honest I prefer recyclable boxes. The cake looked super small too. Once sliced though, I realized how dense and tall the cake is; I knew it would feed that amount of people because this is not a cake one would need a big slice to feel fulfilled. The frosting was a buttercream (which is usually my favorite part of any cake). I need to emphasize the word BUTTER though. It really was dense, not creamy at all, not very sweet at all and not to exaggerate, but it felt and tasted like I was eating a stick of butter. Unfortunately, no one else was impressed and felt the same way. Everyone ate around the frosting. The actual cake was quite delicious though. Nice hint of pistachio, and really had a great texture; not too hard and not too soft. Tasted also faintly of maple pancakes. Very impressed and a nice change. The filling was pistachio as well. Had an artificial green color and definitely an artificially pistachio flavoring. I'm not sure what I should've expected though, but I didn't notice a nutty flavor like you would with pistachio pudding? Not great, but not too gross. I guess it was nice to try something different. For the price, I feel like I'd rather just drive to Alliance bakery and get a better cake. Overall, frosting was gross, filling was meh, but delicious sponge cake. I like the delivery option, but next time I'll plan for a bigger window. Can't say I'll be a forever customer, but I may try their other cake flavors or keto options in future. I'm honestly in no rush or excited to do this though.

If I could give 10 stars I would!!! This experience was perfect from beginning to end!! Customer service was one of the best!! Friendly, knowledgeable, prompt, and went above and beyond my expectations!! I ordered a customized cake with less than a weeks notice and they had no problems getting it done, and even delivered it to my home!! Not many places go above and beyond anymore and this place definitely did!! The cake was more than I could have imagined! The flavors were exceptional (moist, delicious and not overly sweet like most cakes tend to be) and the decorating of the cake was beyond what I expected!The guests at the party could not say enough about the flavor and the appearance of the cake! ”The best they ever Had” said many. Thank you again for such a wonderful experience! I will definitely return for all of my bakery needs! Great Job!!!Christina Equitz

I have ordered from here on two Separate occasions both milestone birthdays. For both occasions I ordered cake pops, cup cakes and two small cakes. I must say the taste is amazing not mention exceptional customer experience! They deliver the cake right to your door it does not get any better then this. And they now offer Keto super excited to try it!!

I recently bought a custom cake from here for my best friend and it was an incredible experience!For context, I don't even live in the state so I wanted to pick a bakery that could deliver, and they delivered above and beyond!Monica was wonderful to work with, and very accommodating working out a time to call and work on the form despite me being in a different time zone.I sent in images of several different cakes and the overall aesthetic based off something my friend had sent me a while back, and it looks brilliant!I will definitely use them again when getting my friend goodies!

I live out of state and was scouring the internet for a cute, local Chicago bakery to send treats to my sister for her birthday! Day of, I came across Skinny Piggy Bakery and there seemed to be a lot of sweet treats to send. It was incredibly expensive, but I was okay with it because I really expected it to be reflected in the product I ordered. She sent me a photo, and everything was packaged in plastic. I paid for a note and a bow, which was just a small cheap gift bow. I guess I was expecting nice white gift boxes with a big satin bow. They reached out to me to see when I would need it delivered, which I really appreciated. I was flexible and timing didn't matter to me! 5/5 stars for delivery experience, especially day of. My sister enjoyed the treats, thought they were yummy and cute! I just was disappointed in the packaging.

Order a birthday cake for my 2 year old son and it came out beautiful and tasted amazing! We had a Sesame Street cake with the cookies and cream cake on the inside. It was balanced well and not too sweet which was a plus! Would definitely be ordering again!

WARNING- SCAM BAKERY!! You will get scammed and not get what you asked for. Make sure to read the negative reviews for this place!!! I'm trying to save people from getting scammed! The Better Business Bureau has contacted! Venmo has been notified that Monica from this bakery has not registered her venmo account as a business even though she is asking for payments through venmo for her business. Her account is now being investigated. (Picture of venmo convo inserted below) They WILL NOT correct the order or refund any mistakes on their end, and they make a lot of mistakes. RED FLAG #1- They only accept venmo, cash app, or Zelle or credit cards over the phone. No proper business operates like this. RED FLAG #2- They will NOT give you a receipt. Monica said many times she will email me one but never did. RED FLAG #3- They will charge you $15 for delivery no matter what because customers "are not allowed in store" Spoke to Monica about making some gender reveal cupcakes. She's a snake so read carefully: I specially told her I want blue, pink, white buttercream rosettes for my cupcakes. She instead tried to charge me $14 extra for fondent frosting. I said no, I repeated many times I want pink, blue, white roses. I did not receive this, instead as you can see in the picture I got grocery market cupcakes with white frosting sloppy placed on top. You can even see the bare spots of frosting not being placed on right. She of course defended it by saying "that's how we do them, but we don't tell customers that". She LIED right away accusing me of wanting only white frosting. She defended every mistake stating I said something else and this is how the bakery does it.In addition, when I told her she messed up my delivery time, she had nothing to say. They came hours earlier than the delivery was expected. She will probably responded to this review with additional lies. Her lies continued to roll out of her mouth, it was like speaking to a misguided child. In the end she charged me $85 for a dozen cupcakes white dry cupcakes with sloppy white frosting on them. She continuously lied about details of our conversation and didn't take any responsibility for her mistakes. In the end she refused a compensation. She's running a SCAM bakery. Please go to the other wonderful bakeries chicago has to offer. Save yourself from being taken advantage of. I'm sincerely embarrassed for the operation they are running in this FRAUDULENT bakery. Anyone running a legitimate business would not conduct business in this manner. You can see what type of deceptive person Monica is. Proof is in the picture.
