Wicked Cakes of Savannah

Best cheesecake I’ve ever eaten. Really. Not too heavy but still rich and delicious.

This review is for the bourbon pecan bars that are amazing!!! It tastes like a pecan pie but not quite so sweet. I purchased 4 cupcakes but have not tried them yet. I will update the review after I try those.

Was recommended by a friend so when we were visiting we picked up some cupcakes. The cake was so moist and the frosting was delicious. Not overly sweet but so tasty. Would highly recommend.

Let me start off by saying that I’ve had some amazing treats from all over the world. I was lucky enough to meet Duff a few years back at Charm City, and I’ve had the cupcakes, cake, and deserts from all over Savannah. This place is the real deal! Hands down the best Cheese cake that I’ve had in my life. It reminds me of European cheesecake, but far better. The bourbon pecan bars are to die for as well. The ladies here will work with you and customize your order and designs to ensure you have the very best for your party. This is our family’s new go to cake and sweet shop!

I fricken’ love cupcakes and have tried all the local places, along with places in various cities across the country. I’ve had delicious cupcakes, i’ve had mediocre cupcakes, and unfortunately I have now had a downright disappointing cupcake. I had a vanilla and a friend of mine had a chocolate one. Neither of us could even finish our cupcakes, they were dense and bland. I’ve never thrown out a half eaten cupcake! It was tragic!
Service was friendly and there is a cute diner style feel to the interior, but that can’t compensate for poor taste. I don’t like leaving bad reviews, but I honestly can’t recommend this place.

After having dinner across the street, I spotted Wicked Cakes as I was headed to the hotel. As I was about to walk in I met three people that were an absolute joy to talk with.
I headed inside and was looking oover my options and as much as I wanted to get 2 of every kind, I chose to get 2 of the Red Velvet to take home since that is my wife’s favorite. I was told they were on sale «Buy one, get one free» and I just had to get those two free cupcakes… lol I decided to get two of the Strawberry as well.
As tough as it was… They made it all the way back to Orlando and I stopped off at my favorite Waffle House. I chose to share a taste of Savannah with staff since they are like family to me. I took one of each and quartered it so the four of us could try them together.
The Ved Velvet was had a nice flavor but was a tad bit dry. I did however love the frosting. It was a cream cheese frosting that was not sickening sweet. Overall I rate it at a 4.
The Strawberry was MY favorite. It was moist and had a real strawberry baked inside. That was a nice touch. The frosting was a tasty butter cream that was also overly sweet. Overall I rate it a 5.
It was late in the day so they were out of some of the cupcakes and there was one I really wanted but opted to let the other patron have since she seemed to want it more than I did. It is hard to rate a bakery with just trying a couple of cupcakes but they were good, the girl was pleasant and helpful and the store was very attractive.
Sorry for not posting more pictures but I got to talking with the people I met out front and totally forgot to take pictures of the store. I promise I will on my next trip to Savannah…

From what I gathered, Wicked Cakes is a respected and generally loved institution in Savannah. People kept recommending them… after I already tried a cupcake.
They were easily accessible from my hotel so I stumbled upon them while shopping. There’s no way I can ever resist a chocolate chip cookie dough cupcake, so of course that’s what I chose. And it was awesome! (See photo.)
They didn’t have a huge selection of pastries or cupcakes, but that’s okay. I think it’s better to have a limited, stellar menu than to be massive and mediocre.

I had this bakery to a photo cake for me. I sent them a photo to be printed on a cake. I was incredibly disappointed in the result. The colors were so faded and blurry, it was barely recognizable as the original photo. I’ve ordered many photo cakes from bakeries and never had one print so badly. I was unbelievably sad at the result. On the plus side, the cake tasted very good.

Popped in to pick up some cupcakes for my best mate’s birthday. I got vanilla, mint chocolate, red velvet, and coconut.
They were fine, but I would prefer more intensely flavored cake, and less icing. The icing doesn’t seem integrated with the cake. One bite and the giant dollop comes off. I get that it’s buttercream, but it needs a lighter touch.

While in Savannah this past weekend we stumbles upon this bakery. I decided to go in and get some cupcakes. I went with: Chocolate Chip Cookie, Salted Carmel, Hummingbird, Red Velvet, Coconut Praline and Vanilla. I must say, I LOVE cupcakes and Wicked Cakes has it going on!
The Red Velvet was a tad bit dry but I waited until like 2 days after I got it to eat it so I can’t blame them for that. All the others were so moist, full of flavor and yummy icing!
I will defiantly be back!

I had the Salty Caramel Cupcake and from 7pm until 8pm all cupcakes are $ 2.00. Wow! My cupcake was perfect. Caramel middle moistened the inside of the glorious cupcake along with the perfectly sea salted buttercream icing that danced in my mouth. Definitely try this cupcake. I tried the mint chocolate one kind of dry, but my husband loved it. My other roommate had a mint one and ate his right away and he says his was awesome and moist. I think the trick is to eat it now or it will turn into wicked cake statue.

The bourbon pecan bar is to die for. Great cupcakes also. Lady working the counter was very kind and helpful.

Not enough stars for what an exceptional bakery Wicked Cakes is. They. are hands on, family owned with a driven very young proprietor who cares about her customers. The product that they put out there’s no competitor in Savannah that can compete with the level of service, the level of delicious treats that Wicked Cakes prepares. I suspect the competitors are a bit shaken due to the cut above this bakery displays, hence some planted negative feed back. Tadtetfor yourself… there’s no other place that you should spend your money on when the sweet tooth kicks in than this store. WICKED CAKES IS AWESOME!!!

The customer service was great. But the cupcakes were dry and stale. For $ 5/​ea I expected much better.

The service was good here, hence the reason they received a second star. My fiancé and I bought four cupcakes yesterday; peanut butter chocolate, mint chocolate, cookie dough, and and something that supposedly had alcohol baked in the middle. They were all bad!!! The peanut butter icing was the only thing that remotely had a taste. None of the actual cake had any flavor. We waited until we got back to our hotel to try these and we were thoroughly disappointed. Needless to say, we will not be visiting this place ever again!

When my husband bought a variety of cupcakes from Wicked Cakes, he was advised that they do not need to be refrigerated. I have no doubt that is correct, as they are apparently made from plastic. The icing was really terrible and left a strange aftertaste. And the cake was dense and dry. My children even refused to eat these cupcakes, and they will eat anything filled with sugar. I hate to leave such a negative review, but I’ve never had a worse cupcake :-(

Okay so! This place use to Carolina Sweets! New owner new company now! Wicked Cakes Okay going in with high hopes thinking the cupcakes are just as good as Carolina Sweets! Nope nope nope! They were over cooked and icing just fell off the cupcake! They taste like GiGi cupcakes to me which is a chain bakery! Will not be back!!!

Oh this is sooo good. Now I go back to the hotel and try to guess how much insulin to dose.
If I survive tonight, I’ll be back tomorrow!

You’re not going to meet a better person or find a better cupcake/​cake than Abby and Wicked Cakes. From the Carrot Cake (best I’ve ever had) to the coconut to the vanilla to the strawberry I love them all. I had the pleasure of meeting Abby for a cake tasting and her warm personality and can do it all attitude made a huge impact in addition to the delicious cakes. I recommend Wicked Cakes to anyone visiting Savannah, or local. Trust me you will not be disappointed.

This is a very difficult review to write, especially as their first review.
I took my nephew here for a little birthday treat. We ordered the white cake with sprinkles, peanut butter, coconut and strawberry cupcakes. When you want to search out a great cupcake, the anticipation is so much that when you finally find a place and then cupcake doesn’t live up to the expectation, the disappointment is so much more shattering. The service was fantastic, so I won’t go full blown one star.
I will just say that I don’t like my cupcakes dense, tasteless and dry. Even my six year old nephew didn’t eat his cupcake, that has to speak for something, right?
