For over five generations, Wilkerson Moravian Bakery in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, has been a beloved institution since its founding in 1925 by Dewey Guy Wilkerson, who drew from the city’s rich Moravian heritage to create delectable treats during the Great Depression.
Now led by his descendants, the bakery upholds its legacy with iconic thin Moravian cookies in seven flavors, freshly baked Moravian sugar cake topped with a signature butter and brown sugar glaze, tangy Carolina cheese straws crafted with extra-sharp cheddar, and seasonal specialties like love feast buns and hot cross buns. For nearly a century, the bakery has shipped its “taste-tells-the-truth” confections nationwide while fostering community through events and a heartfelt commitment to quality.
