Highcliffe Baked Goods,
home of World's Best Carrot Cake,
is a family owned and operated cakery.

Our main bakers are a mother-daughter team, Avi Sommerville and daughter Hannah. 

Avi Sommerville has been committed to the organic food movement since 1978.

Avi has always been a baker and caterer, and was the relief chef at Greyfield Inn on Cumberland Island, Georgia for many seasons. Avi was one of the three chefs at JFK Jrs' wedding.

Avi participates in such festivals as Asheville's Organic Fest and Bele Chere, and her cupcakes were recently featured in the book The Artful Cupcake. Avi also bakes a few select wedding cakes each year and other specialty baked goods by appointment.

Prior to becoming production manager and head baker at Highcliffe Baked Goods, Hannah was the head baker at another famous Asheville bakery.  Hannah has been joyfully baking cakes since she was old enough to hold a wisk!

Each of our Worlds Best Carrot Cakes is MADE IN THE NOW!  We chop carrots and mix cakes!

Our Worlds Best Carrot Cakes are handmade from scratch in small batches.  There is one pound of Organic carrots in each 8" cake!  Our Organic Worlds Best Carrot Cake is based upon a family recipe passed down through three generations. 

Our GLUTEN-FREE, VEGAN, and CHOCOLATE carrot cake recipes were developed by Avi through much research and careful trial and error.  We have been told repeatedly that each variety is delicious and worthy of the name Worlds Best!
