2024 Cupcake Tour Stops

In 2022, the Wayne County Cupcake Tour was included in My Ohio Fun’s Cupcake Road Rally.  Below are just a few of the highlights our rally enjoyed along the trail.

Hours: 9am – 6pm

(You must start here to receive your lanyard for the rest of the tour.)

One of my favorite stops on the tour.  There is no store in Ohio quite like Lehman’s Hardware, family owned and operated since 1955.  If you’re looking for a special widget, well they probably have one.  From garden tools to oil lamps, to toys, snacks and sweets, to Amish made products, you are going to want to make sure you allow enough time to shop.

Make sure your check out the old-time soda pop section.  Nothing like a cold Grape Nehi or Frosty Rootbeer!

Lehman’s also has a snack bar open during specific hours and did I mention great bathrooms?

Shisler’s Cheese House

55 Kidron Rd., Orrville, OH 44667

Just around the corner, (a 2 minute drive), is the Shisler’s Cheese House.  This is where that cooler is going to come in real handy.  Shisler’s was established in 1958, to offer locals and travelers on the Lincoln Highway a place to purchase local cheese, meats, and other products.  Today you will find cheese, meats, chocolate, gourmet foods, gift boxes, pickles and more.  I can never leave the cheese house without a pound of their Swiss Cheese.  My suggestion is that you purchase one of their sample packs of cheese for later, to enjoy during your travels or if you stop at a local winery.

What isn’t to love about this stop.  Such wonderful antiques, primitives, and farmhouse items to choose from.  Don’t let the exterior fool you.  The store is much bigger that you think.  The merchandise is also changing daily, so if you find something you like, you better grab it.

Here are a few Wayne County Cupcake Tour #MyOhioFun road trip notes:

  • Before the tour purchase a cupcake holders at the Dollar Store.  Every cupcake that you receive on the tour will come in it’s own container, so you really do not need a cupcake holder.  It just makes for a great place to store your confectionery treasures when you got home.
  • Make sure you take a cooler!  Some of the cupcakes have chocolate, and no one likes melted frosting.
  • The stops on the cupcake tour are offering special one day shopping coupon.
  • There were seven (8) stops on the cupcake tour.
  • If you need tour information, reach out to the Wayne County Convention & Visitors Bureau.  They can send you a FREE visitor guide, assist with accommodations and additional shopping and dining locations.
