A buzz about a local Pennsylvania cupcake bakery

A cupcake is the latest trend that doesn’t seem it will go away anytime soon. This is a simple, yet imaginative, concept of having your own personal cake. It's also something Americans are familiar with. So how does something so simple and so familiar, set itself apart?

Bumblebee Cupcakes in Carlisle, Pennsylvania provides a fix for any cupcake addiction. You can be as naughty as you wish with a variable selection of cake, fillings and icing.

Owner and baker Amy Parks started her home bakery in 2007. She already has a menu that sets her apart from other bakeries. Using local and seasonal ingredients, the menu changes to reflect what’s in abundance.

As the weather gets cooler warm your heart with a cupcake made with apples and strudel. How can you celebrate the changing of leaves? Preferable with a pumpkin cupcake.

Offering cupcake selection like Mad Libs for your sweet tooth you can keep it simple and traditional with vanilla cake, chocolate frosting, and a whipped cream filling. Be adventurously daring with a spice cake, marshmallow frosting, and caramel filling.

Cupcakes are no longer just for kids. With the choices available even a tough guy like Chuck Norris can find a combination that suits him. There are specialty cupcakes such as Mr. Dad, which is a death-by-chocolate cake, slathered with rich peanut butter buttercream and topped with Reese’s Pieces.

Bumblebee Cupcakes offers reinterpretations of German chocolate cake and key lime pie. Whatever the mood, event, or day it’s a good day for a cupcake.

What else that makes Bumblebee Cupcake unlike many other bakeries is that you don’t go them they only come to you. Without a traditional storefront Bumblebee Cupcakes can deliver the minimum of a dozen cupcakes to the location of your choice within the Central Pennsylvania area.

Birthday parties, weddings, any sort of event can be made better with specialty cupcakes. Imaging a wedding where each table had their own flavor of original, specialty cupcakes. A triple chocolate is more enjoyable than the Electric Slide, although admittedly, more sexy.
