Whisk Dessert Co. has made a name for itself with their bespoke special occasion cakes. However, did you know that Whisk offers other delectables? Jen Gray, owner and lead decorator, and her staff offer everything from French macarons to cookie sandwiches in a variety of flavours to tempt every sweet tooth.
If you need a cake but you’re either short on time or budget, stop in at Whisk. You may choose something from their Sweet Line. These ready-made cakes are available daily in the shop in mini and standard sizes (8-12 servings); you can also pre-order. They also offer vegan and gluten-free options. Don’t be fooled into thinking these are just ordinary round structures; the designs are stunning and the flavours are mouth-watering. However, if you have a large group, try their popular slab cakes, which include an edible picture sheet.
They come in four sizes to meet your serving-size needs.
Who doesn’t love a cupcake? There’s no careful cutting to get the required servings, and you don’t need a plate or a fork to eat it. Whisk offers 14 cupcake flavours daily including vegan and gluten-free options. If you’ve been craving a cupcake for breakfast, Whisk has you covered. Every month, they feature a new cereal flavour: in March it was Froot Loops and in April it was Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
Piedays are upon us since spring has sprung. Every Friday (or Pieday) and Saturday, pies will be available for pre-order or you can just stop by the store to pick-up one up to round out your dinner. Cookies are a long-time favourite and Whisk offers oversized cookies in a variety of flavours. The pastry chefs can’t seem to keep up with the demand. Cookie sandwiches are also popular—their ginger molasses cookies filled with salted caramel buttercream being number one. “We’re bringing in Pinocchio Ice Cream and Gelato so we can make ice cream sandwiches including ones made with our large macarons—yup! Macaron ice cream sandwiches,” informs Jen happily.
The incredible taste of Whisk’s desserts is the result of the high-quality ingredients that go into them. They use real butter and no artificial flavours. And the staff love talking to their customers, finding out what flavours they like, what desserts they enjoy and getting to know their regulars. So, if you’ve been under the impression that Whisk Dessert Co. only makes elaborate cakes for special occasions, stop by the shop and get a taste of what else they have to offer.
