Warm Sugar, a Main Street cupcake bakery, is looking to relocate to an area with more foot traffic, according to a recent post on its Facebook page.

Just two years after opening on Hellertown's Main Street, cupcake bakery Warm Sugar is looking to move. According to a recent post on the business's Facebook page, Warm Sugar's goal is "to relocate to an area with more foot traffic," such as South Bethlehem or Easton. "Ideally, we’d like to share space with an existing business of some kind," the posting said. "We have a beautifully fitted out commercial kitchen with brand-new equipment, café furniture and retail display that we can relocate if the right opportunity presents itself.

Neighborhood Sweet Spot: Warm Sugar
