Hello my fruitcake filled friends! Happy holidays and a grand new year to you…read more Cupcakes. I love them. They're basically tiny cakes pretending to be casual. I was in charge of dessert for the family Christmas gathering, so naturally, the pressure was on. I did a quick Yelp search, picked this place, and--wow--am I glad I did. It's tucked away in a little shopping village, but it was worth the search. The first good sign? People were streaming in and out with pick up orders of baked goods. I knew these folks were locals and knew what they were doing. Always trust the locals. I called ahead and talked a guy (I think he was the owner) who walked me through all my options and made it really easy. He even gave me tips on storage because the weather was colder than a refrigerator. He told me I could keep them in our vehicle, since we were staying at a hotel. He was right--the cupcakes stayed perfect. And they weren't just pretty--they tasted incredible. Moist, spongy, perfectly sweet. The icing? Light, fluffy, not too sweet--basically, it was the cupcake version of Goldilocks. . My personal favorite was the chocolate with caramel icing and drizzle. Unreal. My mom--87 years old--devoured a cookie dough cupcake that was huge. She didn't leave a crumb, which made me happy because getting her to eat is difficult. Bottom line--if I'm ever back in Hershey, this bakery is my first stop. They had a lot of really beautiful bakes on display. There is no inside seating but there's outside seating if the weather is conducive. If you're a local, and you haven't been there yet, you need to go.

Creation Bakery & Desserts is such a cute, niche spot with a great variety of cupcakes and sweet…read moretreats. Everything looked so good, it was honestly hard to choose! I picked up the salted caramel, Biscoff, chocolate, and vanilla cupcakes but my family got to three of them before I even had the chance to taste them, which should tell you something right there I did get to try the Biscoff cupcake, and it was absolutely delicious. It had more of a pound cake consistency, but it was still moist and rich without feeling too heavy. The real standout, though, was the icing it was so light and airy, more like a whipped frosting than the usual dense kind. It balanced the cupcake perfectly and made the whole thing feel indulgent without being overwhelming. Definitely worth every calorie.

What a GEM!! This bakery is one of of the best I've ever visited!!…read more The staff was friendly and engaging... Hadassah was particularly a stand out. The baked goods were very fresh.. I especially enjoyed the variety of whoopie pies!! Chocolate with peanut butter filling was my favorite, but there were pumpkin, red velvet, oatmeal and even gluten free!! The bakery was clean and neat and had lots of other items in the gift shop. Don't miss it. I have told everyone in the area about it since I was there... Wish I lived closer!

There are full size cakes and pies, cookies, and other treats. I purchased a few items. The apricot scone had nice pieces of apricot throughout. The spice cake had a very sweet icing.

Indulged in some sweets at this small dessert shop inside Hershey's Chocolate World in Hersheypark…read more This shop includes lots of unique and delicious dessert options (ie: fudge, cookies, cheesecakes, cupcakes, etc). The ambiance is very simple, but it included great on theme decorations like the melted chocolate on the walls. Ambiance rate: 7/10. I ordered... 1. Peanut Butter Explosion Fudge: This large slice of fudge was yummy and incredibly sweet, almost overly sweet! It had a great mix of peanut butter and chocolate flavor with reese's pieces incorporated into it. Price: $10. Rate 8/10. 2. Peanut Butter Cookie: This cookie was very scrumptious! The peanut butter and chocolate flavor melted nicely in my mouth. It was also super soft and warm! I liked how it included reese's peanut butter cups and pieces. Price: $6. Rate 10/10. The staff were friendly and the service was quick. Service/staff rate: 7/10. Overall, this is definitely one of Hersheypark's dessert shops to stop at if you have a big sweet tooth!

Sweets upon sweets!…read more This is located in the gift shop right before you enter the park. You do not need an admission ticket to enter this store. There was so much to choose from. I kept eyeing all the display cases and I couldn't decide. I asked the kind employee what her favorite thing is, and she can only pick ONE thing. It took her a few minutes to decide but she said the cheesecake..so that is what I went with. I had the cookies and cream cheesecake. It was a decent size. Flavors were great. Definitely got a cookies and cream flavor in each bite. I also loved the piece of cookies and cream candy bar on top. It cost about $10, and I feel that's a fair price. As already mentioned above, service was friendly.

I decided it was finally time for a little solo date night... with Massimos Italian Bakery. Nearly…read more6pm on a Friday, walking in alone, knowing I could choose anything I wanted and then sit at a cozy little table to destroy every last crumb in absolute peace? That's my love language. When I arrived, I was person three of three in the small bakery. Quiet and calm, except for a man around my age and a younger boy chatting at a table about basically every topic under the sun. The vibe was gentle, warm, and perfectly unhurried. I took my time browsing their pastry cases--very full pastry cases--and genuinely could have eaten one of everything. But tonight was a dessert-only mission, so I narrowed it down to two knockout items. First up: the easiest decision I've made in months. A HUGE chocolate-dipped cannoli roll filled with hazelnut crème. This masterpiece was absolutely heavenly. The chocolate coating was thick and rich (the kind that snaps when you bite it). The cannoli shell stayed crunchy, which is rare and beautiful. And the hazelnut crème? Smooth, whipped, sweet in that refined way where you feel delighted, not diabetic. Perfection. My second pick was smaller but impossible to leave behind: a Pistachio roll with glossy sweet frosting on the outside, perched on a crunchy cannoli puff, absolutely stuffed with pistachio filling. And let me tell you--this filling was to die for. Sweet, silky, pistachio-forward without veering into "pure nut paste" territory. Pistachio in baked goods can be hit-or-miss for me, but Massimo's nailed the balance. Honestly, they've nailed everything I've ever had from here. My total came to $10.20 including tip, and the value felt spot-on for the size, flavor, and quality of the pastries. Plenty of free parking right out front since it's in a small strip mall. And can we talk about their hours? They're open 7am-7pm, Tuesday through Sunday (closed on Mondays), which is practically unheard of for local bakeries. Those long hours make Massimo's an unbeatable post-dinner dessert stop or a sweet late-afternoon pick-me-up. Friendly staff, gorgeous pastries, shelves of grab-and-go treats, and the peaceful ambiance of a bakery that doesn't rush you. My first solo trip definitely won't be my last. Highly recommend treating yourself. You deserve it.
