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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!!!!

I live a strict keto lifestyle, I travel for work and I've tried every single keto claimed bakery in the USA and or products. I've tried everything on the menu with sugar and sugar free from SP! I've ordered many times every time I'm in Chicago: Sugar free- Coconut Cream -cheese-Cake, Cream cheese-pumpkin cupcakes, chocolate chip cookies, pies OMG the list goes on. I'm also prone to diabetes and ordering Skinny Piggy only when I'm in Chicago has become a tradition and it doesn't EVER spike my insulin. I buy twice a month! I'm just so grateful to Monica and her team for taking part in my healthy lifestyle I put Diabetes in REMISSION! I swear sugar free tastes like sugar! Everything is DELICIOUS and its the good stuff !

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.

The cake my brother ordered for my 30th birthday was delicious and sugar free to meet my dietary needs. Usually cake that's sugar free is not tasty - but this was! The writing was airbrushed onto the cake and not piped. It looked so beautiful and they even delivered it.
