Now serving Sin City for over two years it was via online ordering that a dozen Wicked Donuts were delivered to the office, execution less dialed-in than prior though the majority were still quite delicious.
Already discussing Pastry Chef Robert Teddy’s background here, it was from the seasonal menu that ten styles were tasted, classics both Raised and Cake buttery with premium handmade toppings including real Vanilla Bean, fresh Fruit and rich Chocolate Ganache.
Offering roughly two-dozen flavors daily, in addition to freshly-fried minis available in a keto-friendly fashion, any discussion of Wicked Donuts should begin with the base, buttery Brioche or toothsome Cake best allowed to shine beneath tangy Buttermilk or Vanilla Glaze, though upgrading to Blueberry or Lemon Poppyseed is highly advised.
Next indulging in old favorites, PB&J continuing to occupy rarefied air as one of Las Vegas’ best Donuts while the Lemon Meringue Pie outperforms many plated Deserts, Chef Teddy’s Apple Pear Fritter still lacks the desirable amount of Fruit.
Eschewing Artificial Colors or Preservatives, a fact pertinent to Cream-filled choices that may be left in a conference room or kitchen at room temperature, suffice it to say that most will not last long, nor did “Triple Chocolate Cake” which is as rich as it sounds.
Adding crispy Bacon to Maple Iced Brioche, a modern-classic rarely done better, “Cointreau Crème Brulee” packs a punch while “Blue Suede Banana” riffs on the King’s favorite minus Pork but plus Dark Chocolate.
FOUR STARS: An experienced palate will immediately notice Wicked Donuts quality matches or out-performs anyone locally from Toppings-to-Base, though Pink Box still sets the bar high for variety.
RECOMMENDED: Blueberry Fritter, PB&J Raised Donut, Blue Suede Banana Donut.
AVOID: Mojito is an acquired taste not developed in this writer.
TIP: 5:30am until sold-out daily. Check the website for online ordering and follow @wicked_donuts and @wickeddonutsusa on Social.
WHAT THE STARS MEAN: 5 World Class, 4 Excellent, 3 Good, 2 Fair, 1 Poor.
