Whisk is simply one of the best lunch/bakery/catering places you will find in the Ohio Valley. We eat there almost weekly for lunch (and of course to grab a couple flavors of cupcakes to try!), have used them many many times to cater small events (bridal showers, birthdays, etc) and recently asked them if they could make cupcakes for the cookie table for our wedding! I think the total came out to just shy of 500 mini-cupcakes in 5 different flavors... They were all beautiful (photo credit: Hannah Barlow Photography) and absolutely DELICIOUS! We were worried with all the cupcakes and cookies from friends that we would have a ton of leftovers, but those cupcakes went FAST! We can't thank or recommend them highly enough, they are the best! Oh, and the cake! They also did our wedding cake, we wanted something small (just for the two of us), elegant, and fun, and they absolutely nailed it! Perfect and delicious and we are not proud of the amount of cake we have eaten - it's just so good! read more

UPDATED REVIEW: Ordered a round tier cake for a family celebration. Icing flowers on top were beautiful but icing on the side was a combination of too many colors and some bare brown spots(side colors weren't requested but would have been fine if it would have looked better). Buttercream icing tasted delicious however it was too thick and looked like it was used to fill where the top tier was slanted equaling too much icing and not enough cake. The cake tasted good but not great because the texture was too airy, very crumbly, and lacked some in flavor. Overall my opinion is that it tasted better than some cakes made from a box and even some grocery store cakes but it left a lot to be desired as bakery cake made from scratch. Additionally, I ordered a dozen mixed berry scones. These scones did not taste as good as the scones I ordered from Whisk a couple years ago. I nuked them to soften and warm but unfortunately the mixed berries were hardly tasted or seen and a flour type taste overwhelmed my palate. read more

Surprisingly great lunch spot! I love their cookies and fun flavors of cupcakes. Their baked good are awesome for a quick gift or just to satisfy your sweet tooth! read more

The cake was beautiful and delicious. One guest commented that she normally doesn't like cake, but this one was extremely good.

Always amazing! Many unique flavors and always Greeted my really nice employees abs the lunch food is really good also

I stopped in last week for the first time after hearing great things. I ordered one of every cupcake, just because they looked delicious. Let me tell you, the vanilla cupcake was probably the best cupcake I've ever eaten. The frosting was to die for and the actual cupcake was moist and full of vanilla flavor! My only negative comment would be that the staff could have been a little more friendly and at least acknowledge the customers walking in rather than stare them down. Still, it won't deter me from returning read more

Ordered a smash cake and cupcakes for my son's first birthday and they exceeded all my expectations! The cake & cupcakes were a huge hit and so delicious. They were very accommodating to my vision and I believe it was a great value, especially for all the detail put into the cakes. Would highly recommend! read more

Wow! Just had a fantastic hazelnut latte and lemon blueberry cupcake. Everything was fresh and delicious. The staff is very friendly. My cupcake was served to me on the prettiest little plate. I'm so happy right now. read more

I've gone from 3...to 4(ish) stars...but now I think I need to make it 5. It's really still more like 4.5 because of the occasional dried out item, and to me, $3 is still a bit steep. But here's the thing--I've been many other places who also charge that much, and aren't NEARLY the quality of whisk. I literally think about these cupcakes when I don't have them! They are that good. If I were getting married, I'd get a whisk cupcake assortment as my cake...and I bet it'd be the highlight of my own wedding day! read more

This company catered a 2 day conference I attended. This may have been the best conference food I have had in the past 8 weeks of meetings. One of the other vendors stated that the gluten free muffins were the best she had ever had. Nice job! read more

Had a gluten-free cake ordered for my Birthday. It was decorated beautifully!!! Needless to say I couldn't wait to dig in. Unfortunately, the cake was DRY. So dry, my birthday guests asked to use my Microwave to heat it up a bit to soften it. Yikes! For the money, I really expected a higher quality cake. I have been gluten-free for many years, and this ranks lowest on my list of favorite gluten-free pastries. read more

My mother got a cake for her 80th birthday, which I couldn't attend. A family member got her a cake from Whisk's and she has been "raving" about how good her cake is, she absolutely loved it! She said it was beautiful. Good job to you at Whisk Bakery, you really made her and everyone having cake at her party very happy! read more

First off, the quality of food that whisk does is really good and I have never been disappointed by that. Why 2 stars, then? I would have given 5 stars before whisk catered my wedding reception. There was an endless amount of chaos that had to be overcome, lara is scattered. It required constant attention from us to make sure that changes were actually made to the menu and even paying the bill was complicated. We also had to follow up repeatedly for the recommendation of a bartender that was promised to us at our 1dt meeting (though the one we ultimately got was awesome). Then there was the reception. Whisk showed up without the ice they were supposed to be bringing for the bar. The real grievance, though, is that despite 20 people no-showing for the event, we RAN OUT OF FOOD. There were some dishes out before half the guests got to them, too! I am not a caterer, but I am certain that running out of food is one of the cardinal sins of catering. Lara did not even acknowledge this "miscalculation". My sister also had to help cut the cake so that all the flavors went out and slices were appropriate for everyone to get one (bride and groom were never given cake, either which seems poor form, but not a major deal). Coffee pot was small and no plans made to refill it so not enough coffee for guests and lara was shocked that once cake was served, coffee was gone in 10 minutes... I would have assumed this was due to lack of experience with large parties (seems if you lack experience you would make extra food), but we were at another small party recently where the head count given to Lara was larger than the guests who came and once again, food ran out It seems that as time goes on, corners are cut to increase profit and quality of service is decreasing. We wont be using again. In fairness, if you have a small, plated party you will probably be happy. read more

Lara and her team did not one, but two events for me within three days this past week! Whisk is not only my very favorite for catering but the amazing team of kind loving people make our lives much easier! Thank you thank you for Doing ANOTHER amazing job and making our thanksgiving and Ryan's surprise party a huge success!!! read more

WHISK is something brand new to the Wheeling culinary scene (such as it exists...) - a gourmet bakery! Having had their amazing and creative cupcakes many times at work events and at Avenue Eats (Whisk's sister restaurant, which I highly recommend), I decided a visit to the new shop was in order. First of all, the location (on National Road in Wheeling's Woodsdale neighborhood) is absolutely adorable. Bright, funky, and fun, it features a few dine-in tables and a vibe unlike anything else I've found in Wheeling. More importantly, the baked goods....my husband and I shared two donuts and a cinnamon roll for a bit of Saturday morning gluttony. We suffered from a fair amount of sticker shock when the price for three baked goods rang in just south of $8.00! The donuts were just ok, to say the least. We each had a raised-style donut with chocolate icing and sprinkles. The dough itself was tender, but fairly flavorless, and the frosting tasted a little too much like chocolate syrup for my taste. Definitely not worth recommending or trying again. The cinnamon roll saved the day though, and warrants a return trip (and the high possibility of extra stars with a different menu choice.) It was the best cinnamon roll I've ever had, from the generous cinnamon swirl layer to the just-right frosting. So, so tasty. I recommend skipping the donuts, but in my experience the cupcakes and cinnamon rolls make WHISK well worth a try for a special treat. read more

I recently had a work meeting catered by Whisk and based on the food alone they get four stars from me. The sandwiches and salads were very fresh and extremely tasty! They will be my caterer of choice for future meetings at the office. I withheld a star as I've not physically been to the shop so I have no experience with their service at that location but again, unless it's "really" bad it would not affect my rating since the food is so fabulous! read more
