Heather’s Cupcakes N Things

Stopped by on yesterday to pick up some cupcakes for a co-​workers bday. So disappointed. Walk in and it’s bare, only a couple lights on and behind a clear counter there are cupcakes lined up. Not covered or packaged, just sitting Behind a clear divider. I order 6 of them. Which was almost all of them. They looked decent. Not particularly special looking but I kept an open mind. $ 2.25 each since we ordered more than 4, $ 2.50 otherwise. I gifted to my friend and we dug in. How embarrassed was I when I started eating. They tasted stale, dry, and lacking flavor. Everyone stood looking at each other with full mouths, struggling to swallow. :(save your money and calories.

Stopped in on a whim and HOLY COW WAS IT AMAZING!!! The boyfriend and I have been all over Philadelphia and the suburbs for desserts and nothing compares to this place. The boyfriend had some sort of vanilla cupcake with strawberry icing and I had the chocolate cupcake with strawberry icing. I hate icing usually but I ate the entire topping of icing. The cupcake itself was moist and flavorful. The boyfriend is not a big dessert fan and he was raving about his cupcake. Plus the gentleman inside who helped us with our order gave us awesome directions to local eateries and was very kind in helping us locate a good place! I highly recommend this to everyone!

I stopped in today on my lunch break, I got a vanilla bean, chocolate strawberry and a peanut butter chocolate. I absolutely love cupcakes and try them wherever I go. These cupcakes. Bad. The cake part was decent but that icing. Its not at all what buttercream should be. It’s this weird texture between whipped fluffy icing and a lot of Crisco. I literally felt like I was eating Crisco. My lips and mouth were so greasy. Its barely sweet. I was not impressed, at all. I’ll pass next time.

I recently went here and got a chocolate and sea salted caramel cupcake. The flavor was there and I really liked the icing. Not too sweet. But the cake itself tasted like it was sitting in a fridge for a few days. It was hard and stiff.

Was excited to see a cupcake place as we were craving something sweet. There were 3 open flags outside the building. Drove over only to find the door said closed. Make up your mind… are you open or closed?

Excellent cupcakes… my wife and I got two to eat there and a few to take home. I go the vanilla bean and is excellent. the cupcake itself was very moist. Highly recommend.

i was a little disappointed in the size of the cupcakes. i have been to a few cupcake shops and they are usually bigger and there is more frosting. we tried the maple bacon and the oreo. they were good but not awesome. the maple bacon had a odd texture. i am interested to return and try there coffee and food.

I was recently at the Hbg mall with my wife and daughter, when we left my daughter had looked across the parking lot and saw heather’s cupcakes so of course we had to go, so we walked down. When we walked in we immediately felt welcome we were greeted even though there were other people being waited on the gentleman at the front counter said hello and that he would be right with us. we only waited a short time before getting our six cupcakes, and after trying the candied bacon we had no other choice then to buy some. Heather herself even came out to say hello and that is not heard of allot of times at small local owned places. we will always come here to eat there lovely treats. if you have a sweet tooth you may wanna stop here and enjoy there awesome selection.

I called before showing up, to find out about the different kinds of cupcakes. I chose the chocolate overload cupcake. It was good. The cupcake price was about $ 2.50 plus tax. The price is comparable to other bakeries that I have been to. I am used to paying two to 3 bucks. I went to New York City once, and those cupcake prices were 5 bucks so this stores cupcakes seem like a good value. If you plan to use a credit card it is a 10 dollar minimum. They have lobster bisque also. Look for the sheetz gas station past the Harrisburg mall. The building that has the cupcake place also has hibachi food, and. Isaac’s. The cupcake place is on the side from Isaac’s and across from Sheetz.

What a joke. I get that «gourmet» cupcakes tend to be a little pricey, but $ 2.50 for a cupcake that is smaller than one of the six you’d get in a dozen at Giant for the same money is just laughable.
This place really needs to get its act together — both in terms of business model and service. You should be able to wait on more than one customer at a time. And even if you can’t, you should at least acknowledge customers that come in. This is a basic tenant of small business, but these folks don’t seem to «get it» in any respect.

My husband and I stopped in for cupcakes a few weeks ago. They were out of the maple bacon, so we settled for another flavor. They were delicious, but disappointingly small for the price! If I’m buying a $ 3 cupcake, I would hope it was more than two bites.

I love cupcakes and these are some of the best, if not the best, I’ve had. The prices are reasonable and it seems like they have a wide variety of flavors. I will be back often!

Let me start out by saying, I love cupcakes. I’ve been to almost every bakery in and around central PA. I also make it a point to visit any bakeries that are near any of my vacation destinations throughout the US. Heather’s Cupcakes has the best cupcakes I have EVER eaten. I decided to stop there today because I noticed their storefront while I was driving to work one day. I looked them up online and it turns out they just opened in August. My fiancé and I shared the vanilla, double chocolate, snickers, and chocolate PB cupcake. Usually when I try a new cupcake/​dessert place, I always have one favorite — but all of the cupcakes we tried today were so good, I can’t pick one that was better than the other. They were all fantastic. If you love cupcakes, I highly recommend this place!

I was at Isaac’s Deli yesterday and noticed Heather’s Cupcakes next door. I stopped in to check them out and learned the place was recently opened in August. They sell several varieties of cupcakes, sticky buns, and jerky. I tried a sticky bun with maple glaze ($ 3.00 + tax) and it was pretty good. Also pretty filling. I want to go back sometime and try some more goodies. Check it out if you like sweets!
