I never click on ads, but the name drew me in. I'm so glad I took the bait. Wicked Bakery was a lovely find that I can't stop talking about. First, the staff is very friendly but not overly obnoxious and fake. They genuinely love what they do and it shows in the baking. The cafe, like the website, is clean and neat and a delight to visit. It was packed, being the day before mother's day I guess, but everyone was friendly and excited about being there.
I had ordered the cheese danish online but was drawn into furthers purchases once there. The Vermont Maple, Creme Brulee and Lemon-Hibiscus cupcakes were screaming for me to take them home. Now I have grown quite annoyed with expensive cupcakes around the valley. Wicked renewed my love for the little confectionery. They were perfectly moist but not sticky. The frosting was perfectly sweetened with a rich flavor that did not over power the cake. The frosting was the perfect consistency without cheap airy quality or throat scratching sweetness.
Those danish need a separate explanation. They were the best danish I have had. The pastry dough was perfection with layer upon layer of buttery goodness. That filling I will have dreams about. It lacked the sickening sugar overload that most danish contain. Instead, Wicked's is the perfect creamy mix of cheese and a light sweetness. The were pure heaven and lasted only a small while after being placed on the buffet table for Mother's day.
