    Princess Jasmine cake
    Liz G.

    Thank you Shannon!!! You did an awesome job at recreating my daughter's Princess Jasmine cake for her 4th birthday! Everyone loved how it turned out & was impressed how delicious it was. Thank you for being so patient and nice. You are amazing!! Here's a little info about the cake: Design was taken from a photo I found online and Shannon was able to recreate it. This cake fed about 30 people. It could be more depends on cake slices; little kids don't typically eat a large slice. I had a choice of buttercream or fondant; this one was buttercream. Cake flavor of choice: Oreo the cake itself reminded me of how my aunt would make her cakes: homemade, dense & delicious. We loved it! I would totally recommend and order from The Happy Caker again!

    I was in a pinch to get a cake for my son's birthday while visiting family in Denver area. Happy Caker came to my rescue. She was super communicative and easy to reach both via email and then eventually text message. Additionally the cake looked fantastic, tasted terrific, and was priced very reasonably. If you don't believe me, the picture speaks for itself. Thanks Happy Caker for knocking this one out of the park!

    So happy I found Shannon at the last minute and she was able to pull off an awesome cake for our daughters vet school graduation. We were traveling from out of state and were lucky to find her online. Not only was it decorated for the occasion, it tasted great as well!

    I have made two orders with this company in the past few months, a cookie decorating kit and my son's second birthday party cake. I was blown away by both! The flavors are perfect and the products are so beautiful. Shannon makes it easy and simple and I'm so grateful I found her!

    The Mickey Mouse cake

    Just wanted to leave a Thank you ! To Shanon for bringing my idea to life! My daughter turned one and she is a big fan of Mickey Mouse. I wanted something unique, not "too girlie, or cliche". I trusted Shanon's creativity and let the artist create magic! The taste is also great-vanilla berry cake. The cake was a delicious piece of art!

    Birthday cake

    She came through in the clutch at the 11th hour. Not only did it look great, but it tasted great as well. Definitely recommend to anyone.

    First birthday same day as her dad!

    The Happy Baker was amazing! She saved me in a last second crisis and everyone just raved over it!! So cute and special, can't recommend this company enough!

    Classic mickey mouse picnic theme birthday cake for Kira's 2nd birthday

    Loved her work! Everyone including myself loved the classic mickey mouse picnic birthday cake! My daughter loved seeing mickey and eating the fondant. the cake itself was also moist and delicious. I was a little worried since this is the first time i ordered from someone very far (i live in Southern Cali) i took a chance because her work from the pictures looked very impressive. Shannon's attention to detail is amazing. I sent a couple of inspiration pictures, told her what i was looking for, and told her a little something about my daughter. I will definitely use her service again if i ever throw a party up north again. Highly recommend.

    Shannon knocked this cake out of the park!!! Not only was it impressive and beautiful, it was meticulously detailed and DELICIOUS to top it all off. Everyone at the party was super impressed and my husband didn't want to ruin it by eating it! Lol. Can't praise this cake nearly enough. It was moist, and not overly sweet. I went with the peanut butter cup and chocolate cake since hubby is obsessed with Reese's. Thank you so much, Shannon! You were the star of the night!!!

    If you need a cake in the Boulder area - the Happy Caker is the person to call!!! I live in Virginia and wanted to get a gift delivered to my sister and brother-in-law in Boulder. I discovered that many businesses in Boulder will not deliver to the "mountain region" but thankfully, I found the Happy Caker. Shannon was so responsive by email, and creative in coming up with ideas for the cake. We ended up deciding on a theme relating to my sister's love of hiking with her husband and dog. Shannon's artistry took it from there. Take a look at the photos. WOW! The cake is a work of art! We are absolutely thrilled. And I didn't get to taste it myself, but my sister said it is the best cake she's ever tasted! Thank you Shannon. Boulder - you are lucky to have The Happy Caker in your community. I see why she won on the Food Network!

    Trolls cake!

    Shannon is such a talented and creative baker! We ordered from her bakery two years ago for my daughters 1st birthday party. The cake was adorable! We asked for it to be Trolls themed and we couldn't ask for a more beautiful cake! Last night we had our baby shower and again we ordered from her. Once again the cake was the star of the show! She made it exactly how I imagined it and it tasted so good! I am very thankful I found her online and if anyone is considering I would highly recommend her services.

    The coolest cake ever

    Shannon is a true talent. This was my first time ordering a customized cake. I wanted to do something really special for my boyfriend's 30th birthday. He's a huge fan of Spider-Man & Venom. I sent Shannon a picture of what I wanted, to say I was impressed is an understatement. Shannon went beyond my expectations. It came out WAY better than the picture I provided. Not only was my boyfriend surprised and delighted, our friends were also very impressed. It was truly difficult to cut into this amazingly delicious cake. I can't wait for the next special occasion.

    Shannon is a miracle worker! The first time I used her, I sent her a custom cake request less than 48 hours before I needed it. Not only did she create the most gorgeous cake that looked BETTER than the photo I sent, it tasted amazing and was very affordable. Plus she delivers! Since then, I have used her at least twice a month for our company lunches, events, and meetings. We love her cupcakes- she has done some amazing custom designs for us- see photos. :) She has a robust list of cake and frosting options and is also willing to create new flavors upon request. Our staff loves that her cakes are not overly sickly sweet like other vendors and have requested I order her cake for every meeting we have. ;) HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

    If you are a gluten-free babe this is the place to be. The prep kitchens are separated as to avoid…read morecross contamination so you have no serious worries about getting "glutened". With that said there are regular bakery options too, but you can not go wrong either way because many of the gf options look and taste better than the other bakery options. The bathrooms are super cute. There is a place to sit and play a plethora of games supplied by BEG so be sure to bring the kiddos. There's something here for everyone to enjoy!

    This was my first time here, and unfortunately, I don't think I'd come back. The bakery itself is…read morereally cute and aesthetically pleasing, so I was excited to give it a try. I got the peach cobbler cupcake, which was almost $7, and for that price I was definitely expecting more. The texture was honestly so strange. The outside was dry and crumbly, while the inside had this really dense, gummy/doughy texture. Somehow it was dry and doughy at the same time. There were actual pieces of peach in it, but I could barely taste any peach flavor. Overall, it just didn't have much flavor at all. I'm not sure if it was specifically the flavor I chose or if it's because I'm not really used to vegan baked goods. I can definitely appreciate that they offer options for people who are vegan, have allergies, or have certain dietary restrictions and still want to satisfy their sweet tooth. But for me personally, the taste and quality just didn't justify paying almost $7 for one cupcake. The customer service didn't really help the experience either. Since it was my first time, I asked the girl at the front what their best sellers were and what she recommended. I was genuinely trying to make conversation and get some guidance on what I should try, but she wasn't very helpful or engaging. It honestly felt like I was talking to a wall. Overall, it's a cute spot and I appreciate what they offer for people with dietary restrictions, but between the price, texture, lack of flavor, and customer service, it just wasn't for me.
