Gimme Some Sugar

Whipped Bakeshop Opens

Like. Like, like. Lurve.

In matters of the heart, you tend to fumble for words.

But in matters of the stomach, your tongue’s never tied. And at Whipped Bakeshop, Zoë Lukas’s first brick-and-mortar storefront, you’ll be smitten.

Philly’s resident pastry princess takes orders for custom cakes, sweets, and cookies, and bakes cupcakes fresh daily. The vanilla buttercream, bittersweet ganache, and red velvet cuppies will bring you to your knees, as will the gorgeous birthday cakes.

The Bahdeebahdu-designed, LEED-certified building has an open kitchen (so you can watch Lukas whisk, beat, fold, and frost) and gets brownie points for lighting by Warren Muller, ecotiles, and a green roof.

Can’t make it to the bakery? Whipped delivers to your door.

Ensuring a case of love at first bite.
