Welcome to our Sugar Studio!
Whisk & Arrow Sugar Studio is an award-winning boutique bakery owned by husband and wife team Nea and Pat Hahn. They have been making Appleton, Wisconsin a little sweeter since 2017. Whisk & Arrow uses high-quality ingredients in our bakery and almost everything is made from scratch in small batches. Almost everything? Yes, almost everything except for our croissant, Danish and puff doughs, which are purchased from a patisserie that uses the finest ingredients and French recipes.
Our recipes are honest. We can tell you every single ingredient - and we can pronounce them all. We want you to know what you are eating and feeding your loved ones. We use a lot of organic products in our recipes and do our best to embrace local produce and exploit what the seasons have to offer us in Wisconsin.
small-batch, authentic baking ─ international design & flavor influences ─ everyday treats and special occasion delicacies ─ preservative-free baked goods ─ real, honest ingredients
NEA HAHN • executive chef
The Whisk
Nea is originally from southern Brazil, but has been in the States for 17 years now. She attended the International Culinary Center, the former French Culinary Institute, for Pastry Arts in California. Baking has always been how she connected with the world.
One of her earliest memories is of making her own chocolate Easter eggs in Brazil. Yes, Nea was tempering chocolate at 8 years old! Nea’s dream was to create a place where the local community could enjoy the delicious, high-end baked goods they’d expect to find in a major city but in a welcoming setting that encourages conversation and community. Whisk & Arrow is that dream.

Testimonials
Penny Navrestad
“Everything I’ve ever gotten from Whisk & Arrow has been just delicious. I love the lemon meringue tarts and the croissants are so flakey and scrumptious. For a serious chocolate fix, get a brownie! I can’t say enough good things about the treats and the staff are wonderful!”
Aaron Seiser
“MUST READ REVIEW! My wife took me to this bakery after she stopped herself, but ate all of the items that she picked up for us to try before she got home! Everything we tried was delicious! You can taste the quality ingredients they use in everything they make. The staff was extremely friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. Presentation of the products is amazing. We spoke with the owner who was very kind. Best bakery I have ever been to. I highly recommend you take the time to try everything they have!”
Sara Snyder
“Want to be my best friend forever? Get me a Whisk & Arrow cake. They are outstanding. But since I can’t eat a whole cake myself, I settle for a slice and even just a slice is heaven on earth. And don’t even get me started on the amazing scones. I used to think scones were dry biscuits. But now I know better. They are moist, fruit-laden breakfast cakes with glaze dripping all over so you have to lick your fingers when you’re done. Go here and order this asap. Or don’t, so there’s more for me!”

“The owner and staff here are absolutely AMAZING! There is always a smile to greet you when you walk in the door, and they will bend over backwards to make your day feel special. There are so many great things to choose from-each one more delicious than the last. I’m not going to lie...you may gain a few pounds, but it's soooo worth it!”

“I can't say enough good things about Whisk & Arrow! Everything is made with love and is DELICIOUS. They also did a great job with the renovations of the building they are currently in, it's beautiful. Great place to grab a coffee, too. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. Thanks for baking up happiness, Whisk & Arrow team!”

“I’ve been to Whisk & Arrow many times and am so amazed every time! I’ve loved seeing your shop expand to what it is today. There’s not a weekend that goes by where I see the extra cakes available and try to convince my husband for us to get one for the two of us! Such tasty desserts, keep up the good work!”
