As a special events coordinator, I can confidently say that Whisk Bakery is an absolute dream to work with--and an even bigger hit with my attendees. One of the standout qualities of Whisk is the incredible variety. With both savory and sweet options, there is truly something that pleases *everyone*. No matter the crowd, my attendees are **always** happy with the selections--and that kind of consistency is priceless when you're planning events. The seasonal offerings deserve a special mention. Unique creations like the cheddar and ramp danish are not only inventive but genuinely unforgettable. It's clear that a lot of care and creativity goes into every item on the menu. Meg, the mastermind, owner, and pastry chef behind Whisk, is exceptional. She ensures that everything is hot out of the oven for morning pick-ups--which makes a huge difference in quality and presentation. (Though I will say, driving 45 minutes with the smell of fresh cinnamon rolls filling the car is a special kind of delicious torture!) Beyond that, she is communicative, dependable, and consistently delivers high-quality baked goods at a great price point. In fact, I happily drive a full 90 minutes round trip to pick up from Whisk for my events--because I *know* without a doubt that my attendees will be over-the-moon the moment they see the spread. If you're considering Whisk for an event, don't hesitate. It's a 12/10 recommendation from me every single time. read more

Excellent Cinnamon rolls - and if you happen to catch them the day they make raspberry cheesecake rolls - OMG!

We were in Weaverville visiting friends and made a special trip to Wisk AVL based on a recommendation from our daughter and I am so glad we did. my Cinnamon roll was easily the best one I've had in years since my grandma used to make them. Meg and her team were very welcoming. Sadly, we are back in Texas but will fondly remember our baked goods and new friends. read more

I stopped by on my way to a plein air paint out .. needing a cup of coffee. I was SO pleased with their coffee and, of course, I had to grab a wonderful homemade muffin. I chose the strawberry and cream cheese .. so good! I also talked to the owner about the sticky buns and sweet rolls. Guess I'll be back to sample those soon. I had black coffee with a shot of espresso. The coffee was fresh and clean tasting .. no burnt or bitter .. so obviously they take good care of their brewing machines. SO important in making good coffee. My coffee and muffin were about $5 !!! Good buy. This little building is kind of tucked under the hill on Smokey Mountain Highway .. right beside the car wash. You'll notice the green stripped roof and purple sides now. (check my photo!) read more

Whisk AVL - Those colors and stripes make the coffee shop stand out! - Custom Cakes Near Me - Candler, North Carolina

After a sharing samples of several Whisk breads with a generous friend, I decided to swing by yesterday to pick up a fresh loaf of rosemary Parmesan. The two folks working inside couldn't have been happier and more fun to chat with. The bread was absolutely, as were all of the previous day's nibbles which had inspired my visit in the first place. If you're in the mood, Whisk will not disappoint. read more

They made a key Lime pie for my son's 30th. They personalized it on the spot even though we were a day early. Lovely folks to deal with. Delicious pie too!! read more

Take it from this fat girl: This is where you want to get your baked goods! Go early to get your caramel pecan sticky rolls and cinnamon rolls because this tiny drive through kiosk sells out quickly! We always treat our out-of-town guests to these amazing breakfast yummies. While you're there, grab some other treats too -- offerings change daily and are posted on their socials: @whisk.avl on Instagram. Meg, the owner and main baker, is such a kind soul. She's always so cheerful and does a lot of custom orders, too. Love supporting this small business! read more

Meg was a fantastic baker for our wedding cake!  First and most importantly, the cake was absolutely delicious! From the moment we took our first bite of our tasting we were sold. The hardest part was narrowing down our flavors because they were all so tasty. We wound up with pumpkin spice cake with cinnamon cream cheese, and dark chocolate cake with peanut butter filling. Meg was also able to provide some gluten free cupcakes for our guests with dietary restrictions.  Above and beyond that, it was an absolute pleasure to work with Meg. She always responded quickly and enthusiastically to our questions and inquiries, making the process so easy. We were planning the wedding from a few hours away as we live in Charlotte, and so it was important to have vendors we absolutely trust. After our cake tasting we knew Meg would be able to deliver a cake that tasted amazing and looked beautiful. We're looking forward to enjoying her treats more as we visit Asheville in the future. read more

Whisk AVL - a three tiered wedding cake - Custom Cakes Near Me - Candler, North Carolina

Whisk AVL is THE best! The rotating flavors and seasonal fruits that get incorporated into the menu make every stop new, delicious and refreshing. I stop regularly to get some treats for my coworkers and friends and they are always impressed. Appreciate what Miss Meg and Mister Mike bring to our side of town!! read more

I pass this place driving my daughter to school every day and decided to stop there a few months ago. Now I'm hooked and stop almost weekly! Their quiches are my favorite and it's almost an expectation that my daughter gets some cinnamon roll each time we stop by (They are huge! Perfect splitting size!). The service is so friendly and quick. I'm so happy to find a regular to-go breakfast place of this quality! read more

Whisk is the tiny, whimsical little 'hut' on the side of the road that serves coffee beverages and baked goods. If some of the 'right people' people found out about Whisk, it would absolutely blow up into a National chain. I can't say enough good things about this place. The last time I was there visiting family, the man at the window was so friendly with such good energy about him, I couldn't help but buy a brownie, a coffee cake, a muffin, a cookie, a coffee, and a hot chocolate. And you know what, I have no regrets because it's just THAT good. They also have an Instagram where the owner (who does the baking) updates her selection daily, including all the ingredients she uses in her food. Because did I mention, there are gluten free and vegan options?? No? Okay! IG: whisk.avl NOTE: This is a drive-thru location only. No dine-in. *NOTE: If you come to this location, please tip for their friendly and fantastic work. Don't give tourists a bad name! read more

We are obsessed with Megs baked goods. The bread... the scones... the cookies.... the cinnamon rolls! And who doesn't love a power- girl- boss owned company? read more

So with COVID going on most of my neighbors are stuck inside. For Easter, I decided I wanted to take them a treat basket . So I send an email and was quickly answered and my order taken. I paid via Venmo. It was very easy to pull up to the window as my order was already boxed and ready to go. If you want cinnamon buns the size of your head or decadent peanut butter bars with a scrumptious chocolate ganache this is your place. Nothing was disappointing. The peanut butter cookies were the perfect soft crisp that I love. Thank you to Whisk for helping me treat my neighbors. read more

Super cute drive thru! Situated right next to the car wash and they had the best breakfast pastries! My husband got the quiche and coffee cake, and I had their cinnamon roll which was MASSIVE! If you're looking to support a small business while you're on the go, definitely check this one out. read more

Love love love LOVE Whisk! Have worked with them for years, sourcing our wedding cakes. The cinnamon rolls cannot be beat. Coffee is delicious, drive through is speedy. Cannot ask for more! read more

I've ordered three special event cakes from here and each one has been a showstopper of taste and design. I dare you not to order the unicorn cake for an adult, just because it's so awesome it's not just for little kids. I'd suggest their house special flavors rather than the basic chocolate. Support this local business. This couple works hard and satisfies a sweet tooth like they love the work they do! read more

So happy I went with them for my wedding cake. I got a two tier naked cake, gluten free for $100. I added fresh flowers and a topper from Etsy. I found them through the elopement service I went with which included another cake. So I had three altogether but paid separately for the two tier cake as it was not included in my elopement package. See pics. The cake tasted fantastic. I had lemon, strawberry, and chocolate. The lemon and strawberry were so delicious. The chocolate was good but not the show stopper for me. Pick up was easy and I would use them again for cake needs! read more

I'm so thankful for this business!! They have the BEST cinnamon rolls you will ever eat. The bread is delicious. Like it doesn't major home without me tearing a piece off. The scones are straight delicious. Can't sing their praises enough. They have both sweet and savory options. I'm looking forward to trying the quiche at some point as well. They are so friendly and just a great business to have in the neighborhood. They are also really nice to my dog and give her treats. They are the sweetest! read more

I knew I wanted a simplistic wedding and had almost conceded to the notion that along with simple you forfeit extravagant taste. I met with meg a couple of times to discuss our wedding cake. The day finally arrived and I am happy to report that I got the simple naked cake that was more flavorful that any traditional cake you can imagine. I got compliments all night about how awesome the cake was and where I got it. Surprisingly the vegan cake was a smash too! (Yes, she makes a kickass vegan and gluten free cake that had my peta advocate guests ranting and raving!) and even though it was simple and clean it was also beautiful I will say this, we did a tasting and loved the cakes but the end result was so much better. The tasting doesn't do it justice and I don't know if it's because you are mixing flavors or what but the actual cake was beyond phenomenal! She also delivers the cake and sets everything up for you so you don't have to stress over anything. I don't plan on having another wedding anytime soon but if I had to I'd know exactly who to go to! read more

A real hidden gem for foodies and other lovers of baked goods. Be sure to get a cinnamon roll (or 2)!

This is my new favorite bakery / coffee shop in AVL! It's a drive-thru, so you can either enjoy it in your parked car or take it home with you. Get their early because they sell out of their too items quickly! Their famous cinnamon roll is amazing. Usually bakery cinnamon rolls in my opinion are dry and have no flavor. This one is so soft and fresh. And they are meant to be shared because they are HUGE! We have also had one of their muffins and a peanut butter cookie and both were delicious as well. I've had a flavored latte and enjoyed it with the cinnamon roll. The man at the window taking orders is incredibly friendly and kind. I discovered that he is the father to the baker/owner. His pride for his daughter definitely shines through every time we place an order. I love this family owned business and plan to go every chance I get ! read more

The best cinnamon rolls ever! I thought West End bakery had the best cinnamon rolls in Asheville, but these are even better. All of the baked goods are delicious and the brewer's grain bread is awesome. So glad to have this in our area. Just wish they didn't run out of cinnamon rolls before I can get there. read more

The cakes and pies and cookies and tarts.....oh my how delicious! And one of the nicest bakers you will ever meet. Meg has always been my go-to for the best in desserts! I couldn't recommend anyone more highly. read more

Meg made the BEST cake. It was delicious and beautiful. Not only was she incredibly fun to work with (#1 cake tasting in town- believe me, I tried a bunch), but she was very reasonably priced and had already worked with my venue extensively. She handled all my special requests like fresh berries and adding a cake pull with ease. She already had our topper boxed up for us which made it easy at the end of the night. I would recommend her to any bride! read more
