Great Bakery!

Whisk and Paddle made our dream cake on our wedding day! We wanted a different filling and flavor for each layer of our cake and they were happy to accommodate. Would absolutely recommend!

Beautiful and Delicious!

Whisk and Paddle is amazing! We ordered a champagne Strawberry cake for our wedding day and it was so beautiful and delicious! I love that they bake you a mini 4 inch cake on your one year anniversary, free of charge! My husband and I are so grateful for their professionalism and care they took in baking our cake for our wedding day, it looked beautiful and it makes looking back on the photos so special. Highly recommend!

Top-tier experience!

Everyone RAVED about the delicious strawberry and champagne layer where we also added raspberry preserves. It was absolute perfection! I also fell in love with a very simple, elegant style that was made with fondant, but, personally don't like the taste of fondant. Holly & Erica were willing to try it out on buttercream. The TEST cake looked beautiful but the actual cake on delivery was AMAZING and exactly what we envisioned. We also ordered chocolate tartlettes and dessert shooters for guests wanting something besides cake and they DISAPPEARED. Everyone raved at the fantastic offerings. These ladies made the experience wonderful. They also delivered all the way to Peoria for a reasonable charge. I absolutely would not hesitate to recommend this perfect wedding dessert bakery 100%. I can't say enough good things about the experience all the way around!

Perfect Wedding Cake

Whisk and Paddle made our cake and macaroons for our wedding at The Paseo. The owner, Erica, was wonderful throughout the whole process. From cake tasting, coming up with the design, answering questions, and finalizing before the big day, Erica was very responsive and helpful. Our vintage cake design ended up being exactly what we pictured and couldn’t be more greatful!

The absolute best!

Whisk & Paddle did an incredible job with our wedding cake and cupcakes! From start to finish, they were a joy to work with. Very friendly, flexible, and always accommodating to my requests. Everything was delicious and our guests couldn’t stop talking about how good everything was! They delivered right on time and set everything up perfectly, making the whole process stress-free. Highly recommend them!

Amazing wedding cake

We worked with Erica for our wedding cake and she was super patient with us. We had changed our minds and tossed different ideas around many times. Erica was nothing but professional and very patient. Helping us all the way through to the final decision. The cake came out amazing and was so delicious. We are looking to have her make our cake again for our anniversary each year. Thank you so much Whisk & Paddle Bakery for the wonder work you do.

Perfect Experience For Our Wedding!

We used Whisk & Paddle for our wedding deserts (at the Landmark). We did a small wedding cake and a desert spread (cupcakes, brownies, cookies, smores tarts). All the deserts were delicious and our guests loved having a bunch of different options instead of just 1 big cake. Whisk & Paddle were great to work with, very communicative over email. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking to cater some deserts!

Blown Away!

Erica and her team absolutely worked wonders on our cake for our wedding day. From the initial consultation to the finished product and everything in between, Erica was very flexible and willing to meet our many requests. We made a last minute decision to change our whole cake design a week before the wedding and she met the challenge unphased and executed on our vision FLAWLESSLY, it truly blew the Pinterest inspo out of the water. She was very understanding of the many challenges that come from organizing a wedding and was very flexible with her timeline as ours kept changing constantly. We were absolutely in love with how our cake turned out and are very happy to have picked Erica and the Whisk and Paddle team to bake our cake. If you’re looking for a great bakery that will meet your needs and do so flawlessly, Whisk and Paddle is the place to go.

So delicious

The ladies at Whisk & Paddle were amazing! Our wedding cake and desserts were absolutely delicious. We did a small 2-tier cake for the wedding party and did a dessert spread for our guests (tiramisu shooters, cheesecake bites, cookies, and s'mores tarts). Our guests asked which desserts they should try and I could only tell them EVERYTHING. Our original plan for our desserts fell through and we found whisk & paddle two weeks from the wedding- they were so flexible and understanding and made amazing desserts even with the short timeframe we gave them. 10/10 would buy desserts from them again!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
