Introduction
How does one go from southern cooking to making gourmet cannabis edibles and mastering hemp pastry techniques?
At the center of Wake-N-Bakery’s mouthwatering offerings is a woman whose passion for baking is as deep as her Southern roots—Erin Zinsli. A North Carolina native, Erin grew up surrounded by the comforting aromas of home-cooked meals and the warm tradition of baking with family. Her love for food didn’t just start in the kitchen—it started with a bond that would shape her future.
Erin’s story begins in North Carolina, where she spent much of her childhood baking alongside her mother and grandmother. Those early days weren’t just about measuring flour or kneading dough—they were about storytelling, passing down traditions and building memories. It was during this time that Erin, her mother and grandmother collaborated on a special project that would eventually become a cherished part of the state’s culinary culture: a cookbook filled with family recipes, printed right in North Carolina.
This cookbook wasn’t just a collection of dishes; rather, it was a tribute to generations of Southern cooks and a celebration of the flavors that define North Carolina. It made its way into homes, schools and community centers across the state, serving as both inspiration and instruction for aspiring bakers and seasoned chefs alike.
The Rise of a Cannabis Cuisine Chef
Brianna brought that same sense of care, creativity and tradition into every recipe when she co-founded Wake-N-Bakery. Her creations are a unique blend of nostalgic comfort and modern culinary flair, and her influence is unmistakable; however, Erin’s background with baking and unbelieve taste palette brought it to the next level.
Each treat from Wake-N-Bakery tells a story—of heritage, of resilience and of joy. Customers aren’t just buying baked goods—they’re experiencing a piece of Erin’s journey and the legacy of the women who taught her to bake with heart.
As Wake-N-Bakery grows, so too does the legacy Erin began so many years ago in a North Carolina kitchen with her mother and grandmother. It fact, it’s a story baked into every hemp cookie, cupcake and brownie.
