We went with almond chambord, and everyone loved it... my family was fighting over the leftovers. My mom claims the cake was the best part of my entire wedding, and wouldn't stop talking about it for weeks after (not exaggerating). MULTIPLE of my guests independently told me it was the best wedding cake they've ever had. My husband and I both agree, unbiasedly! It was so moist and flavorful. The leftovers tasted just as good days later. We're counting down the days to eat the top tier for our anniversary! I highly recommend Karen for any type of cake! Thank you Karen!

I discovered the greatness that is The Robin's Nest at the 2026 Ice & Fire Festival in Harrisburg,…read moreand I'm pretty sure it was fate. After lunch I was wandering around the festival trying to decide on a sweet treat. It was cold, wet, and grey, and my stomach had reached the stage of the day where it was aggressively reminding me that dessert had not yet been consumed. The dessert options at the festival were plentiful, but the moment I passed The Robin's Nest stand the decision was made. This also happens to coincide with what I can only describe as my Whoopie Pie Era, a completely self-appointed personal mission to sample as many whoopie pies as possible in the name of...research. So when I spotted their display of baked goods -- including a whole lineup of whoopie pies -- the gravitational pull toward that stand became unavoidable. And wow...the options! They had everything from whoopie pies to chocolate Easter eggs to breads and cookies. It was honestly difficult to choose what to eat in the moment and even harder not to just buy an entire bag of baked goods to bring home with me. After what felt like an eternity negotiating with my stomach, I finally landed on a S'mores whoopie pie for $2.50. My stomach was still yelling "BUY IT ALL," but I exercised a bit of restraint. I've had a few disappointing whoopie pie experiences lately, so I didn't want to put all my eggs into one nest. (Yes, that pun was absolutely intentional. We are talking about The Robin's Nest, after all.) It was a tough decision because they had 13 different whoopie pie flavors available that day, and the temptation to grab one of each was very real. But I stuck with the S'mores...for now. And candidly -- I was not disappointed. This S'mores whoopie pie was easily one of the best I've had in quite some time, and now I'm kicking myself a little for not grabbing several more while I had the chance. When it comes to whoopie pies, the filling -- the "whoopie," if you will -- is more important to me than the cake -- the "pie" in my world. I want a serious amount of filling. I want it sweet, flavorful, and clearly identifiable as what it claims to be -- not just generic "sweet frosting." The cake should be dense and substantial, and when the whole experience is over, I want to know I actually ate a proper dessert. The Robin's Nest absolutely nailed it! The filling-to-cake ratio was excellent, and the chocolate coating on top was a really nice surprise. Instead of soft frosting that peels off with the wrapper, it was a firm chocolate shell that stayed intact with every bite. The cake itself was dense, moist, and rich -- exactly what a proper whoopie pie should be. Needless to say, my Whoopie Pie Era research continues...and The Robin's Nest has officially secured a very strong position in the rankings. I will absolutely be seeking them out again for more whoopie pies -- and probably several of their other baked goods as well. The only challenge is their lack of online presence, which makes it a little harder to know where they'll pop up next. But honestly, if the end result is another whoopie pie like this one, it might just be worth the drive to Abbottstown, PA to hunt them down...I've definitely done more ridiculous things in pursuit of a really good whoopie pie!

Absolutially, melt in mouth delicious! A friend also bought some dog biscuits for both her dog and mine. From the way my dog ate 1 of her biscuits, it received a 5-paws review.

Only regret was going to craft show in exhibit hall last, Robin's Nest booth was on left side as enter hall and at far end. Next time go to any type of "show", I'm going to check out exhibitors list, first. If Robin's Nest is there, stopping by earlier and buying something to get me through day, then back before leaving to restock for home.

'Twas a rainy Saturday in mid-May when, after shopping, some sweet treats seemed to be in order. The store is small and an approximately equal-sized kitchen is on the other side. The glass case had a nice assortment of delectable goodies. As expected, inside smelled delicious and the interior was inviting. I didnt catch the name of the nice lady behind the counter, although she was most pleasant, affable, and helpful. She did comment that although not the owner, she enjoys working in such a tasty environment. I decided on a piece of strawberry cheesecake, and one each of peanut butter, sugar and oatmeal cookie. I'll definitely come back. Please check ot out!

I've been a longtime customer of Jacquelyn's Bakery and have always believed in supporting local…read morebusinesses. Even when something wasn't to my taste, I'd come back and try something else--because that's what supporting small businesses looks like. I want local shops to thrive, not get swallowed up by big-box stores. That said, I was genuinely disappointed after seeing Jacquelyn's recent Facebook post. Everyone is entitled to personal opinions, but using a business platform to label people as "dangerous" and "unsafe" simply for having different views isn't community-building--it's divisive, and it's bad for business. Profiling customers and publicly signaling who is "acceptable" to walk through your door is not how you grow or sustain a welcoming business. As a result, I won't be spending my money here anymore, and I won't be recommending it to others. If the energy spent dividing the community were redirected into improving product quality--like making cakes that are actually moist and buttercream that doesn't resemble Play-Doh--it might do more good for the business than turning customers away. Supporting local businesses should feel inclusive, not conditional.

Goodies abound,cand there is a variety of caffeinated beverages as well as a number of tables. One in front seats 2 and is in a little nook, but was occupied. There are also tables in the rear of the store. Jacquelyn was working alone and was most affable and accommodating. We bought a bunch of things, including for later that day and the next.
