Sugar cake, extraordinarily thin cookies and Carolina Cheese Straws hand-baked from the heart for five generations.
Making us the oldest name in Moravian baking.
Using only the finest extra sharp cheddar, pure butter, and a pinch of cayenne pepper for a satisfying amount of heat, these gourmet straws are the purest of all.
Nearly a century ago, our great-grandfather stopped at nothing to bring his passion for baking to the heart of Winston-Salem. Generations later, we are still baking in the unwavering pursuit of perfection. And when you taste our cookies and sugar cake, we think you’ll agree - taste tells the truth.
"I can state with absolute certainty that every day we will use all of our ability and continuous effort to make products that we would proudly serve to our most honored guests."

We’re delighted to have the Wilkerson family back in the baking business. The “Christmas Cakes“ (Moravian Spice Cookies) are exactly how I remember them from childhood. During the Christmas season from thanksgiving on I would easily eat a pound of them for my after school snack.
The sugarcake is scrumptious- well worth the wait!
@Cindy
The cookies have such a delicate flavor, and the sugar cake melts in my mouth. <3

@Renee Patterson
To toot my own horn, I was the first customer they had on Robinhood and have reaped the rewards since. The sugarcake is what I remember from my childhood, it's perfect. The "Christmas cookies", as I will forever call them, have real ginger pieces in them and the sugar cookies are the best, bar none. I wish you well on your new location which I think is going to be great & convenient for so many.
@Adam

What does Wilkerson Moravian Bakery mean to me? It means bringing a part of Winston-Salem history back for future generations to love and enjoy! My husband's Grandmother knew your Grandfather, and we would always visit the bakery faithfully. To be able to enjoy the sugar cake and cookies again floods me with so many memories.

Treasures are found at the Wilkerson Moravian Bake Shop in Winston-Salem. Who knew that there were so many delicious flavors of Moravian cookies or that they could possibly be so thin?
That authentic thinness seems to make them more flavorful as the cookie pops in your mouth when you bite. And so many flavors - spice, sugar, lemon, orange brandy, spiced butter rum, sugar ginger. We tried them all and found each one to be a special treat.
