Something Wicked This Way Comes At This Oregon Bakery Known For Their Sinful Treats

There's no shortage of standout bakeries in Oregon (you've heard of Voodoo Donuts, right?), so any newcomer on the sweets scene has a pretty high bar to reach. No problem, said pastry chef Katie Peters and her husband Michael, who, in 2020, reinvented the former Fortaleza Bakery space into something downright devilish. At Wicked Sweet Bakery in Oregon, you'll delight in a swoon-worthy selection of sinful sweets.

Wicked Sweet Bakery opened in 2020 in the Keizer Village Shopping Center.

Wicked Sweet occupies the former Fortaleza Bakery space.

The shop is run by pastry chef Katie Peters and her husband Michael, who previously owned and operated The Doughnut Shop in Stayton.

The couples' previous experience in the industry is evident from the moment you enter this dreamy little bakery.

Wicked Sweet Bakery specializes in donuts, which, in Oregon, can be a very polarizing topic.

Portland is known for its amazing donut scene: Voodoo Donuts, Blue Star Donuts, Coco Donuts... the list goes on (and on).

But Wicked Sweet's donuts are downright delicious: classic, straightforward, yeasty pillows of perfection.

(Fans of this sweet breakfast fave will not be disappointed.)

For proof of Wicked's pastry mastery, simply order their glazed donut holes.

These little bites are perhaps the simplest thing on the menu, but are absolutely perfect.(Calories don't count for donut holes, right? Asking for a friend...)

Of course, it's not all donuts at Wicked Sweet Bakery.

They also have custom cake creations that are out-of-this-world.

(Happy Birthday, indeed!)

And the cookies here are a must-try.

Oatmeal cream pies, whoopie pies, chocolate chip cookies -- feel free to unleash your inner Cookie Monster!

And if you're looking for a special gift to perk up someone's day... you really should consider ordering a box with a little bit of everything.

(Or treat yo' self. We aren't here to judge.)

Wicked Sweet Bakery is a welcome addition to the Oregon sweets scene.

One bite and you'll agree -- being bad never tasted so good!

When The Bard penned the line "Something wicked this way comes," he certainly wasn't talking about donuts -- but we think he'd approve of the appropriation. While Macbeth's witches were brewing up truly evil elixirs, the folks at Wicked Sweet Bakery are stirring up a swoon-worthy selection of sinful sweets -- and you'll delight in being a little bit devilish while you're there.
