Whisk: A Sustainable Bakeshop opens tomorrow, November 10, at 2201 Cherokee Street. This is the building at the corner of Cherokee and Missouri Avenue, east of Jefferson, that was previously home to the Shangri-La Diner.

Whisk is the new project from Kaylen Wissinger, whose Farm Fresh Cupcakes began appearing at local farmers' markets in the spring of 2011. (Wissinger has also contributed to Gut Check.)

Whisk's regular hours will be 9 a.m.-6 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and 8 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. You can reach Whisk at 314-932-5166, through Facebook or its website.
