    a birthday cake in a box
    Mary S.

    We used to love this place because once upon a time, their GLUTEN FREE variety was awesome. My daughter has celiac disease and gets super sick from gluten. Hospital sick if she ingests it. Their gluten free menu is practically non existent at this point. Yes they have paleo and keto: but this is catering to LIFESTYLE choices, not necessarily people like my daughter. She's tried the paleo and keto(so have I) and they taste nasty. I bought her 6 cupcakes that were keto and she threw them in the garbage after two bites of one! What a waste. She can just stand the taste of the paleo brownie. As for cakes, this past February, we got her an awesome, I think it was 10 inch (not sure but it was a good size) in strawberry flavor with delectable icing and multi color flowers. We've been purchasing her birthday cakes here for years. About a2 months ago I asked about purchasing a gluten free cake for her. She works so hard on the front lines at a hospital in McAllen. The girl brought out a book and said' it can only be a 6 inch and only in chocolate'. I was stunned! I asked when this changed. She replied I'm fairly new here I don't know. She went to the back and asked whomever was there, but she couldn't get me an answer. We are very disappointed in all of this. I did a feedback not long ago and was told that "we were the only ones that had complained, that the keto and paleo were popular and that people as far as McAllen came for it" Again keto and paleo are lifestyle choices. Yes they may fit in gluten free diets but being gluten free for many people IS NOT a lifestyle choice. Celiac disease is a real thing and it's hard enough to find variety in her diet down here. Further upstate and even in other countries (I've traveled to Europe extensively) the variety is much greater and readily available. I don't know what's happening at Happiness Cupcakes, but we are disappointed and turned off by the lack of variety as far as gluten free is concerned and flippant responses we have gotten. I will still come by weekly and check but most times, I can't find anything that my daughter can have. Once in a blue moon I will find one cupcake that is actually labeled gluten free. Sad. The pic I'm attaching is of her cake for her birthday this past February. Apparently, or so I've been told, I can't order anything like this anymore. ***went in yesterday , January 8th and asked again about their gluten free. The girl attending me was not friendly and rolled her eyes at me when I asked about the gluten free and the keto and paleo. 'But they are technically gluten free' I explained that they may be considered that but gluten free are sweeter and moister and that keto and paleo are a lifestyle choice and they seem to be catering to that, and not anymore with celiac disease, like my daughter. She doesn't have a choice and prefers the sweetness and moisture of actual gluten-free cakes and products. For a higher end bakery, one would think they'd do a lot more variety for people like my daughter. They used to and I was told that even the chocolate gluten free 6 inch cake was being eliminated. And oh, if you leave negative feedback on theircFB page, you can't post anymore. How very nice and 'Christian' of them. Cannot even take some constructive criticism, even though they say they are a Christian owned company and welcome all kinds of comments and customers.

    Pumpkin Cupcake

    The icing, the bread, it's amazing. I literally moaned eating this cupcake and I loved it so much that I wrote this review.

    Pink/blue marbled gender reveal cake!

    Beautiful and quaint little shop, their cupcakes were OMG delicious, flavors were on point. We requested a small little gender reveal cake - nailed it!!! And the flavor.... Delicious! Very soft and moist sponge and the buttercream... heavenly! If you want any delicious, simple, and beautiful cakes and/or cupcakes, this is the place to visit!!!

    Too cute

    I was driving by and saw this cute little sign, a dessert place in the RGV I had to try it out. I grabbed the chocolate cupcake and a few others. They were delicious, this place should not be passed by without stopping for a few cupcakes. Service with a smile, easy access and great location.

    This is by far the best cupcake shop in the RGV! I've been to quite a few, and this is hands down NEVER a disappointment. Their cupcakes, tarts, paleo brownies, cookies and cheesecake always satisfy the craving. Try something new every time and I can guarantee you will leave happy. Friendly staff and Owner, trustworthy people.

    Strawberry roll  Cheesecake slice

    Delicious sweets! Walked in and out with my purchase and was very satisfied with the selection they had available. I picked up a cheesecake slice that was so soft and a strawberry roll with a fluffy whip topping. Both were a good individual size. Only downside is the distance from my home but it's definitely worth the drive!

    Everything here is good. They even have keto and paleo selections. The cupcakes are moist and exactly right level of sweetness.

    Cupcakes are a little dry and the frosting came right off, seemed to be a day old or so but the brownies are delicious. Cookies are okay.
