I wanted to express my sincere gratitude to Skinny Piggyfor an amazing job. You went above and beyond what I could have expected, delivering something I needed urgently. Let me share a story about my husband's 52nd birthday. He's been on a keto diet for the past four years, and he wanted a cake for his birthday. This was all decided last minute when he decided he wanted a party and a keto cake for his birthday, with the party just three days away. I went into panic mode, I invited our friends, picked the place, and made the invitations, but then came the challenge of finding a keto cake for my husband for his birthday. I googled keto bakeries, and a couple popped up, but one was Skinny Piggy. I called a couple of different places, and unfortunately, they couldn't make the cake so Skinny. Pig was my last resort, so I emailed them, explaining the situation, and they said they weren't sure if they could do it for me, plus they mentioned that their deliveries for the day were full. If anything, they could make the cake, but it would be for the following day after his party, which I couldn't do. I asked wherever they could do would really be appreciated. Not only did they go above and beyond, but they made sure the cake was delivered the day of the party and on time. Monica at Skinny Pig not only made sure the cake was made properly but also added it to the delivery list to be delivered to the restaurant just enough time for my husband's birthday. I can't express how amazing Skinny Piggy is and how they went above and beyond for this experience. If you need a cake, just make sure you order a couple of days before the birthday. I highly recommend them, especially since I'm not on keto, but I did try the cake, and it was absolutely amazing. It was the lemon berry cake , and the cake was delicious. My husband ate most of it by himself the next couple of days, but overall, it was an experience I will never forget. Thank you so much, Skinny Piggy , and thank you, Monica, for going above and beyond. If you need a keto cake or any type of dessert, I highly recommend them. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Skinny Piggy is magical! Let's start by getting out of the way how adorable their name is. Really, it's my ideal life presented in a shop's name. So thanks for that gentle reminder of what I aim to be. So why~oh~why is this shop so Willy Wonka-esque? Well, you walk into this wonderland and a plethora of sugary options are presented to you. Then YOU create whatever you like. They should have T.I. playing in loop over their sound system because you legit can have "Whatever You Like". Their fabulous staff can help guide you through things as a first timer and they are patient as you hem & haw with the big life decisions. You can start with a brownie, cupcake, cookie, even a cookie bowl, or cheesecake. Then pick frostings and toppings! If you get a sundae, toppings are unlimited and man do they have some cool options - poprocks and panda cookies, what! To go over every option possible would take me 100 years (I just scientifically crunched the numbers) so let's just get on to.... They also have a bunch of amazing pre-created concoctions if you need a bit of help in the choosing game. I only did pre-made things and loved every single option I tried. Mini Cookie Dough Cupcake - Money! Cookies & Cream Cupcake - Doubly money thanks to the adorable chocolate pig on top. Mini Salted Caramel Brownie - Wowzas! Mini Chocolate Chip Cookie with toppings - Yepppp. So basically, everything I had was very good. Cakes were moist, frostings had the right amount of sugar & sweet, cookies were soft and all my goodies tasted delicious. Did I mention nearly everything comes in full size OR mini? Um, yes girl. So you can try more things and not feel quite as bad being the beastly indulgent skinny piggy you truly are. The shop is super cute & chic, perfect place for UIC students to chill out & get some studying or catching up done over some coffee & sweets. What's more is their prices are totally reasonable compared to similar cupcake-ish shops. I've found love on Taylor Street and her name is Skinny Piggy. read more

I don't even know where to begin. This is a group of Miracle workers! I called them with only 2 days to turn around a VEGAN & GLUTEN FREE custom Blueberry Cream birthday cake for me. Even though this wasn't an option on their menu, they were confident they could do this for me and in my extremely short time frame. I was skeptical. It was all just too easy. And at the right price! The value was great. I told Megan it was my birthday and that I wanted it to look 'pretty' but that I wouldn't have the first clue how. There were so many add on options for a fee but I didn't ask for any bc I wasn't sure how it would look. To my (pleasant) surprise, when they delivered the cake ON TIME, she had given me a complimentary upgrade in design - it was pretty obvious! And I was in love. But then it was finally time to cut the cake. I was nervous - vegan and gluten free; and it's PRETTY?! Hmmm... How will it taste though??? DECADENT! That's how! Extremely moist. Not too sweet. You could taste the freshness of the blueberries. It was absolutely the best cake I have EVER had! The cake feeds 15. I only had 6 people over and I only had 2 slices left over to freeze that night. Do yourself a favor and PLACE AN ORDER!!!! read more

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. read more

I needed a sugar free cake for my mother who is a diabetic. Skinny piggy exceeded my expectations when it came to the aesthetic of the cake as well as taste. We couldn't even tell that the cake was sugar free. It meant the world to me knowing that my mother could enjoy her birthday cake without remorse or worry. Also the delivery feature is so helpful! I was able to at least take one thing off my mind that day knowing that the cake was going to get delivered. They have gained a lifelong customer!

Cutest bakery ever! I came across it when I was looking for a cupcakes close to my work. I got about 2 dozen different mini cupcakes for an office party, and everyone was raving about how good they were. They aren't extremely sweet, like most bakeries, which makes their cupcakes creamy and very flavourful. Their red velvet cupcakes with the red velvet cherry on top is to die for! The people are very sweet and really help in picking out the cupcakes and any customisation if you need it. Can't recommend this place highly enough! Love love love it! read more

Today is the soft opening of the remodeled and reconcepeted skinny piggy. The store is completely redone. The candy jars have been transitioned into a create your own cupcake concept. You can choose from an assortment of cupcake flavors (strawberry, mixed berries, vanilla, etc. ) and add your customized frosting (e.g. salted caramel, chocolate, cream cheese, etc) and choice of topping like marshmallows, nuts, or cherries. Alternatively, those who have a hard time making choices can opt for a house special such as the chocolate with chocolate cream cheese frosting cupcake which I tried. It was very rich and full bodied. You can totally taste the cream cheese which balanced the chocolate perfectly. Very very yummy! read more

I came here to find a place to snack and get some work done. I wound up with a malt that mixed ice cream, a cupcake, a brownie, and candy. It was amazingly delicious - just as good as Scooter's or other specialty shops. I went for an "evil twin" cupcake that combined cheesecake and chocolate because how could you not? Wifi was readily available (xfinity, although they also have their own) and good choices of retro music. Outlets are not super conveniently placed but in the afternoon they don't mind if you sprawl at out one of their tables and run a power cord. read more

I went there with a few co-workers and let me just say...delish!!! We each purchased a half dozen of mini's and regular cupcakes---of course to "share" with our other coworkers. (Big Smile) We all voted the pistachio cupcake as the best of all of the flavors---both sizes. We all agreed the icing was phenomenal and we would order the ICING if we could & hold off on cupcakes to reduce calories and our waistline. LOL The chocolate cupcakes were a little dense, but let me assure you no cupcake went to waste. We are going back next week, so a few of our coworkers can make a purchase, too. WyLonda B. read more

I wanted to like this place - beautiful space and menu was original. But the girls were flustered and as a result, rude. I get you are busy on a Saturday. But a quiet customer waiting patiently doesn't deserve to be told that "another party had a reservation so you'll have to wait" (I was just there to buy a few cupcakes to go). Cupcakes are presented really well and looked like they were fresh. But they were dense, more like muffins than cupcakes. We tried strawberry, birthday cake, cookie dough, tres leches, and salted caramel. Only thing that was good was the actual salted caramel filling and topping. Cookie dough recipe really needs work. Also tried a chocolate chip cookie only because I saw people with the s'mores platters. Cookie was nothing special, plus it was also pretty dense. Sorry ladies, I really wanted to love you guys. read more

*Update*: I spoke with the owner and she expressed her sincere regret with the situation. For this reason I will chalk up this situation with the bakery as a one time mishap and not indicative of their overall service and performance. I have had their cupcakes before and did not have this issue, so this may have been an isolated incident. I suspect that this won't be happening again. Original Post: I debated long and hard about writing a review because the owner did attempt to make the situation better, but after I cut into the cake I pretty much felt like this needed to be shared. I hate long reviews, but I want to make sure that this review is thorough. I ordered a custom baby shower cake 6 weeks in advance. I spent about 25-30 mins with the owner on the cake. I literally told her i just want the picture. I will pay extra to achieve the look in the picture. And that is exactly what I did. I spent an extra $50 to make sure that the cake I ordered would mimick the photo I presented. The only addition I added was a welcome message to be applied to the base board of the cake. Pretty simple and doesn't change the look of the cake at all. I come in the morning at 10am to pick up the cake for a baby shower at 2pm. As you can see from the photos, this is not the cake I ordered. The colors are way off, the icing was thinning, the height of the cake was incorrect, and the welcome message of the cake was no where to be found. I immediately took issue with the cake and the employee called the owner. She proceeds to tell me that she saw the cake before she left and thought it looked perfect and that no welcome message was on the paper work. I promptly tell her that there is no way possible the cakes look even remotely similar and that I am staring at their paper work which indicates the welcome message on it. At this moment all credibility is lost with this bakery. I began to freak out because I am 100% embarrassed by the cake they attempted to present me with and I'm not really confident that they can fix it. I request a new cake, but she indicates there is no time before the shower. She proceeds to tell me that they cake is salvageable and that she will come in to fix it. Alas, I come back to pick up the cake it is better. Now let's be clear it is a better representation but it is still not what I asked for. I settle for the cake well because I have a babyshower that requires a cake and this is somewhat presentable. She also offers me a $50 credit towards my next cake. This is absolutely ridiculous to me particularly because there is no way this woman thinks I am coming back to get another cake. I spent a $150 on a cake and she thinks $50 will solve my heartburn. Absolutely not. I pack the cake up and speed out of there because I'm already at this point going to be late. Mind you, I leave with no coupon or voucher, just a verbal commitment. This again appeared unprofessional. The shower proceeds and its time to cut the cake. This was the straw that broke the camels back for me. The cake was gross. It was supposed to be a caramel cake! The cake was dense and tasted like cornbread. Look at the images for yourself. There are layers of what i image to be condensed milk that are thick and spotty. What the heck is this layer anyway. I imagined it would take something similar to their salted caramel but this definitely was not it. Oh and to top it off, we found a hair. How UNSANITARY! You can tell that the hair originated from the bakery because it is imbedded in the icing. Overall, I just feel like this my entire experience was really subpar. From the professionalism, cake decor and the taste of the cake it was all done so poorly. It felt like they threw my cake together and paid no attention to detail. An entire waste of money. read more

My husband and I got married down the street from Skinny Piggy, so it was a no brainer to use a local bakery to supply our wedding cupcakes. Monica was wonderful to work with and from our first tasting at Skinny Piggy, I knew we were in good hands! I am one of the most indecisive people (especially when it comes to food) and Monica was so helpful with narrowing down cupcake flavors and how many per person to order. The cupcakes are absolutely delicious! My mother hates icing and she definitely raved about the pistachio cupcake. I personally loved all of them. Their deserts were out of this world too (my husband loves the salted caramel brownie!). If you're looking for a cupcake, a cup of coffee, or a bakery to supply some sweet treats for a wedding - Skinny Piggy is a must! read more

Monica, the owner was very welcoming and friendly and waited on us personally. My 5-year old and 2.5-year old daughters enjoyed their vanilla ice cream with rainbow sprinkles. I wasn't even in the mood for dessert until I tasted the strawberry cheesecake Monica masterfully created for my husband. I decided on the red velvet malt which included red velvet cherries and a whole red velvet cupcake--half mixed into the malt and half placed carefully on top with cream cheese frosting. I needed a spoon for the malt because a straw couldn't handle it. I pretty much got weak in the knees with each bite... It was that good. Skinny Piggy is a hip dessert spot with a hint of childhood whimsy from Monica's blue highlights to the rainbow array of candy on the counter. Free wifi, coffee, tea and modern table and seating options make this a perfect spot for all ages.  Will definitely be returning. read more

I would like to start off my review with all the positive things because I was not happy with my experience. First I would like to say that it's a really cute shop nice seating area nice and quiet. Also, I love the concept of build your own cupcake. Now to talk about what I came for, I went to the Skinny Piggy for cupcakes because they had such good reviews. First off the cashier wasn't even present when I walked in, when she did come out she didn't acknowledge me. Then I walked toward the register and said hello, she said I'm finishing off a order I will be right with you. The cupcakes on display didn't look appetizing they weren't decorated because of the build your own purpose I guess. The cupcakes themselves were really one noted. I ordered a strawberry cupcake and a salted Carmel cupcake I didn't like the fact that the cupcakes were not filled the only thing salted Carmel on the cupcake was the little Carmel they put on the top the rest of the cupcake was plain had absolutely no flavor and then the strawberry cupcake I ate it and asked myself what flavor was that supposed to be. All the icings was the same texture and flavor who ever does that baking here needs to go back to the drawing board. I would not go back to this place nor do I recommend this place. I really don't like giving bad reviews but this place was awful I'm really disappointed. read more

I happened upon this place after a meeting in the West Loop. The decor is minimalist and excellent, and the selection of cupcakes is eye-popping. But as if that wasn't good enough, prepare to have your cupcakes frosted.

Would probably go 4.5 stars. Pricing is fairly reasonable for a boutique-type bakery. The Chip (standard chocolate chip cookie) with vanilla frosting was kind of disappointing. The cookie wasn't particularly tasty and a bit dry. I think it's supposed to be more of a base that people load up with toppings. Also ordered the Brownie Chunk malt. It was phenomenal and exceeded my expectations. I really cannot say enough good things about how delicious the shake was. Will definitely return to try some more malts and maybe a brownie. read more
