We couldn't be happier with their services! From start to finish, everything was seamless and well-organized. The face painting was absolutely beautiful, the balloon twisting was a huge hit with the kids, and the caricatures were truly amazing. All of the entertainment kept the kids engaged and excited the entire time, and everything ran so smoothly. We've received so many compliments from other parents about how fun and well-done everything was. We're so grateful to the whole team (Daria, Molly, Kevin, and Jennifer) for helping make the party extra special. Highly recommend! read more

Happycake does a great job and is super easy to deal with so if you're a busy parent booking a party, just stop here and click book now! Setting up the booking and invoicing was super simple and all done over email. The face paint artist arrived at the picnic site we rented on-time, set up quickly, worked fast, and just generally made the kids happy with her craft! All the kiddos who wanted their face painted were able to have it done in the two hours we had, and there was a never a long line of bored children waiting around...some of the adults even got it done too. They offer lots of other options like giant bubbles and glitter tattoos as well. read more

Hired Happy Cake for my best friend's 55th birthday party and OMG this was the best idea!!! Our artist Alexis was lovely! She was professional and patient and captured the essence of the guests.

Many thanks to Jennifer and Alexis!! read more

I reached out to Happycake for face painting + bling bar at my daughter's birthday party.

Jennifer C. is incredibly friendly and responsive with questions and booking, and Molly and Daria are AMAZING artists and they were so great with the kids who kept them busy the whole time. Thanks so much! read more

We hired Selena for our daughter's 5th unicorn birthday party for face painting and glitter tattoos and she was a hit! The kids (and a few parents as we had some extra time) loved the designs! She made every kid feel comfortable and special and was a joy to have in our home for the celebration. Thanks Selena! read more

Molly - our Happycake artist - was wonderful and made our party guests excited about their designs. Since many of our guests were 3-4 years old, some were nervous about it and she was great with them all. The designs themselves were fun and professional, and it was fun hearing the kids pretending to be the animals or super heroes they were painted to be. Would definitely recommend for your party. read more

10/10! Very easy to communicate with and book. We chose face painting with bling bar for our 6 yo twins birthday party. Our artist, Lucretia, was amazing! She knew all the Minecraft characters and painted such beautiful artwork on all of the faces, each one crafted specifically to each child's request. I loved seeing the kids running around with mermaids and TNT on their forearms, full face designs and bejeweled. Great experience! read more

Such an amazing experience with Happycake! We had Tica do face painting for my 3 year old's bday party and she was so wonderful. She was so talented and so fast and the kiddos loved her. She even did giant bubbles for the kiddos as she had extra time! read more

Amazing customer service ! (Shout out Jennifer!) I got the caricature package. Artist Marie stayed for 1.5hours after the initial end time , which was super appreciated...she was professional and very kind to all my party guests. Would book again and again! Thank you read more

We hired a face painter for our kid's birthday party. I appreciated that she came with a directors' chair and mirror for the kids and a book of samples. The cost was $300 for one artist for 2 hours (a pretty average cost after contacting a few companies). This was enough for our party with about 30-40 kids. She did arrive about 10 minutes late (10:40am) and left at 12:30pm. No a huge deal, everyone's face got painted, but for the cost, she really should have stayed for the full 2 hours. I didn't love the quality of the face paint; it was nothing like the beautiful works I saw on this Yelp page. No one complained but again for the price point, I expected better. read more

We used Happycake for my daughter's 4th birthday party, and they were awesome to work with. We planned the party just 2 weeks ahead of time, but Jennifer made it really easy to book over email. We even got a confirmation a couple days in advance so I didn't have to double check myself that they would be at the right place at the right time. Marie our face painter arrived early with all her gear. I appreciated that she had her own table and chair for the kids so we didn't have to take one to the park ourselves. The face paintings were so cute! She had gems and sparkles that the kiddos loved. Marie was even kind enough to stay 15 minutes late to completely redo the birthday girl's face paint that got messed up (she bumped her head and cried a lot... so the face paint started coming off). I would highly recommend Happycake to any parent planning a fun activity for their children's party! read more

Very timely and great service! Will use them again and try their other services. The kids loved their face painting.

Our face painting + glitter tattoo artist Mary for our daughter's 6th birthday was absolutely wonderful. Every single parent must have commented about how amazing she was as an artist. She was 100% professional, super kind with the kids, incredibly focused, and went above and beyond to make sure that every kid who wanted face paint had time to receive it. She was also SO thorough! Full pieces of art on each kid's face (not just a slapped-on heart or star on a cheek). And as a serendipitous bonus, it turns out she was one of our daughter's beloved teachers from The Rabbit Hole Theater, which made the event all the sweeter. Also, she even showed up dressed as a mermaid, having seen the party was mermaid-themed. We couldn't have been happier with our Happycake experience. It really made our daughter's party special. read more

We had a wonderful experience with Happycake face painting for our Dia de los Muertos party. Jennifer was very communicative leading up to our event and so helpful in making sure the experience would be as we'd hoped. Molly was our artist and she did a great job! The morning of our event we decided we wanted Molly to come an hour early and both she and Jennifer made it happen. Our guests were very, very happy with their face painting! Thank you so much! read more

communication including follow up was top-notch. April, our artist was on time and ready to start painting faces, she was a true delight for our guests; who were all adults. Some guests got glitter beards and many got beautiful art done around their eyes. I had never really thought about having face paint at an adult centered event but everybody really enjoyed getting their done. Thank you for such a wonderful experience. read more

April is GORGEOUS, she knows her ART & the kids love her for being so fun & easygoing! Hats off to her name, the branding is PERFECT :) We couldn't be happier..big shoutout & thank you for bringing so much cheer & JOY we left all smiles xx read more

From inquiry to after event follow up, communication with Happycake Face Painting was above and beyond amazing. Booked for face painting and caricature for a kids party and the artists were prompt, kind, and professional. The face painting artist offered a wide variety of face painting designs but also accommodated specific requests from the kids. Caricature artist offered a unique style of caricature and unfortunately wasn't what I expected of caricature, but this does not take away from the artist's kindness and professionalism throughout the event. Happycake immediately followed up the Monday after the event and I shared my feedback and dissatisfaction regarding the caricature style to which they were not only understanding, but more than willing to rectify the situation. I can't express my gratitude enough to Happycake for hearing me out as a customer but also ensuring I was 100% satisfied with the services provided. 10/10 recommend this business for your party needs. We will be return customers for future events. read more

I hired Happycake Face Painting for my son's birthday party. All I can say is all of our party guests were amazed Diego was our painter and he was absolutely talented! He worked so well with the kids and his art skills were on another level. Overall, from the moment of reaching out to Jennifer & booking our event, the process was so smooth. She responded right away and accommodated all my party needs and on the day of, Diego was on time and ready to get started. Such professionalism!

I will definitely be booking them again for future events! read more

Happycake Face Painting - Just one example of the amazing work Diego did at our event! - Face Painting Near Me - San Francisco, California

We recently hired Happycake Face Painting for our daughter's 5th birthday party, choosing them specifically because they offered both face painting and bubble artistry in one package (along with many other services they provide). Working with Jennifer to schedule was a breeze--she was friendly, incredibly responsive, and communicated clearly throughout the process. Booking their services was seamless and stress-free. On the day of the party, both artists showed up on time, were courteous, punctual, and worked so well with the kids; engaging them in either the bubble play or listening to all their requests for their face painting. As far as I could see, all the kids loved playing with the bubbles and most (if not all) kids got beautiful art done on their faces. I appreciated the patience and attention to detail by the face painting artist. I will definitely recommend their services to friends and family, and would use their services again in the future. read more
