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!

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

School themed cupcakes for an event we had promoting a community service program for reading to kids.

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!

I was so lucky to have found Shannon, The Happy Caker, here in Torrance. She did a fabulous job for my daughters birthday cake. I couldn't decide what I wanted on the cake so we literally emailed each other back and forth on the details and Shannon was super helpful throughout the whole process, also knowing I was on a budget. When I picked up my cake from her, I was so surprised how the cake turned out. We also ordered mini cupcakes and loved how they were bite size and everyone loved them. The Happy Caker will definitely be our go to baker for our future parties. Thank you so much Shannon! read more

Shannon's cake was a hit for my sister's 50th birthday party. It was beautifully made and the attention to detail was exact. The theme for the party was Game of Thrones. She was able to make the dragon, dragon eggs, and Daenerys (like a Funko POP figurine) out of fondant. Even the waiter's were taking pics. The cake was delicious. We picked Cookies and Cream as the flavor. Thank you for your excellent work. I will definitely use you again. read more

Super tasty! So happy to have a great little bakery in this part of the Westminster area! I love visiting bakeries and have been to a ton around Denver and have always lamented that we didn't have one closer to the new Westminster downtown. Just tried The Happy Caker for the first time tonight and the snickers cookie was especially tasty!! The lemon blueberry muffin was super light and fresh tasting and the fruit in the home made pop tart was a nice balance with the crust. The owner was super friendly as well. One time and I already know I'll be a regular. read more

Cupcakes - do not order them!!!For the price she charged me, I expected something amazing. It was a splurge for my daughter's cast party after a play. Disappointing doesn't begin to describe experience. I ordered two flavors of the week. I think the box mixes my daughter bakes at home taste better. I actually woke up feeling sick from eating it last night. So the quality was poor. The presentation was bland and unimpressive. Definitely no wow factor from the kids. I had title some other parents where I was getting them from and they were anxious to see how they turned out - and they very underwhelmed. The size was average - fine for a dessert - but not for the exorbitant cost. I would not pay more than $1 for one of these, and she charges over $3 for each cupcake. I absolutely want my money back. I resent the money spent- and wish I had just gone to King Soopers and just bought a few boxes off the shelf. Save time, money and disappointment and get a better product. read more

Do Not Recommend! For what you pay and what she delivers it is simply just not worth it. I paid $240 for a single tiered cake (for 15 people) that looked nothing like we had discussed!!!! I asked for a Moroccan style pillow she gave me a square; I asked for a burgundy, cream & gold color scheme, I got a solid burgundy; I asked for delivery on Sunday (confirmed & discussed it twice including 2 days before) & she delivered a day early... not only was the cake stale at that point but the inside pineapple creamy filling tasted like whipped butter with sugar. I also ordered genie lamp cake pops (which in all fairness she told me she had never made before) but what upset me is 4 of them came out horrible & 2 of them came out amazing which means she got the hang of it and could've delivered 6 beautiful genie lamps but she was being lazy & could care less about the quality of the work. Honestly I would have been better off going to Publix, at least there you know you get what you pay for! P.S. I ordered a 2 level tiered cake that fed 50 people 2 weeks later from another vendor (also works from home), it had more detail, tasted & looked amazing, and was only $180. read more

Specialties

The Happy Caker creates one of a kind custom cakes for special occasions. All of our cakes are baked from scratch using quality ingredients. From traditional wedding cakes to sculpted cakes, we can do it all. Give us a call and let us design you the cake of your dreams.

History

Established in 2013.

The Happy Caker started selling cakes in 2013. I realized my passion for cakes after baking my daughter a cake for her 6th birthday. I have always had a passion for art and have dabbled in a number of crafts. When I made my first fondant cake it ignited a fire inside and I have spent all my time learning and growing as a decorator ever since. I put all of my love into my cakes and will not let one go out the door until I am fully satisfied with the finished product.

Meet the Business Owner: Shannon D.

I have watched cake shows on TV for years and wished I could be as talented as the people I was watching. I finally decided to stop watching and just give it a try. I made my very first fondant cake for my daughters birthday 2 years ago and discovered that I can do it too. From that day on cakes have become my passion. I am completely self taught and constantly learning new techniques.

Review Highlights - The Happy Caker

“We had a quick turn around from when we placed our order to when we needed it and Shannon delivered (literally)!”

BEG Bakery & Creamery

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.

In our day's Sunnyslope business, our niece took us to Kris Frybread. Arriving we saw Dawn's. She said Dawn's gets high ratings too. After our excellent Kris meal I made my way to Dawn's. I am infamous in the family for my dessert rxtravagance. But I share with all at our table. Take your choice! Our niece got cannoli, I got lidded shortbread custard cups, vanilla and almond. Sweet D got a cherry and an apple turnover delivered into the box. It is five days later. My sugar intake has dropped a lot. In our home baking we cut sugar ingredients by half. Older Hopi bakers put in enough sugar for a hint of sweet in their cookies. Modern bakers glaze them. I'll take those traditional ones. When I say the shortbread cup with custard was too sweet for me, that's my 21st century palate speaking. The almond cup was a buy-again item for me, still sweet, very almond. The cherry turnover was flaky, the filling tart, oozing fillng and cherries. The gold medal, blue ribbon "I'd buy this again, for sure is the apple turnover.

I can't speak on the customer service as we never left our table and our waited just walked over and got what we needed. We were pretty stuffed from our massive meal, but we decided on sharing a cup of gelato just to satisfy our sweet tooth. I peeked inside as our table was right at a little walkway from the restaurant to the bakery. Gelato is just one of many things they serve here. They also have all your typical Italian desserts. Cakes like tiramisu, pastries like Italian flag cookies, cookies like Italian wedding cookies, cannolis of different varieties, and of course gelato. What was suggested to us if we wanted gelato was the hazelnut flavor. I was expecting a little cup for the 6 of us just to get a taste, but what he brought over was a massive serving. I don't know how many scoops it was or even how much we even paid, but we all got plenty with some even left behind. Now this gelato was life changing. Probably the best I've had in the states. I know it's gotta be way better in Italy, but I'll take what I can when I can. Think of a Ferrero Rocher but in gelato form. It was delicious and I couldn't get enough of it. It wasn't overly sweet and it had a little crunch with bits of chocolate and hazelnuts. My sweet tooth was extremely satisfied after having dessert here. I have literally been thinking about that gelato since I left Phoenix. Luckily this company has locations in Texas so I will definitely be seeking out this gelato soon.

We've worked our way through what feels like almost the entire dessert case over the years, and I can honestly say I've yet to find something I didn't love. Every pastry is beautifully crafted, incredibly fresh, and tastes like it was made with so much care. This visit was all about the cannoli, and let me just say... craving officially satisfied! The shell had that perfect crisp snap, while the filling was silky, rich, and just the right amount of sweet. It was everything I had been dreaming about and then some. Walking into The Sicilian Baker always feels like stepping into a little slice of Italy. Between the gorgeous display of desserts and the irresistible aroma of fresh pastries, it's nearly impossible to leave with just one treat (don't say I didn't warn you! ). Whether you're stopping in for a post-dinner dessert, celebrating something special, or simply giving in to a sweet tooth like I did, this place is absolutely worth the visit. Every dessert we've tried has been phenomenal, and this cannoli was another delicious reminder of why we keep coming back. Sweet craving? Check. Happiness? Double check.

Also I got the AZ frosè and the rosemary syrup was just way too pungent to enjoy the whole beverage. I wished it had been more balanced. Especially when the French fries are heavily seasoned with rosemary--a bit too much.

I noticed the terrible review by Jenny M and figured I would do my part to counteract the craziness here. The Happy Caker's cupcakes are the best cupcakes I've ever had, hands down. Same with their buttercream; it's so lite, creamy, and not over-the-top sweet - yum! They are what I would consider a "gourmet cupcake," so don't expect a store-bought or box-made taste, these are much more refined. The presentation is lovely, beautifully topped buttercream and other toppings carefully sprinkled and placed on top make them look so inviting. The colors and tastes of an assorted box are stunning. The cupcakes are so soft and moist; it's obvious The Happy Caker only uses top ingredients. Considering how high quality everything is, the price seems extremely fair, especially given that they are a small, family-owned, business. I will never buy store-bought or box-made cupcakes again. Unbelievable the nerve of some people to post such nasty reviews that have no basis in reality. I eat here at least once a week and have since they opened last year. In fact, this week I've been twice :) ... They've never made me not feel well, just leave me wanting more (and for what it's worth I have a very weak stomach, just saying). I 100% encourage everyone to go there and enjoy what I consider the best bakery around. I also encourage you to come leave and awesome review when you're done to help offset some of the craziness on here! -A Loyal Customer read more

Recently I had the great pleasure meeting Shannon(The Happy Caker). She made cakes for my twin sons. My one son who is fighting brain cancer and really wanted a Umizoomi Bot Cake and my other son wanted either a panda bear or wiggles. She not only was able to create AMAZING cakes but she also included both the Panda Bear and the wiggles together. We were blessed she was able to do these cakes for Cakes Against Cancer. I would recommend her 100%. She did such an amazing job!! Both of the boys loved the cakes along people from there 5th birthday party.I also shared how they could contact her. We were very pleased with the job she did on the cakes. read more

Walking into The Happy Caker shop will put a smile on your face. From the display case full of delicious treats to the owner, Shannon, who is just so gosh darn nice. The cupcakes are beautifully decorated and taste amazing. There is an array of cookies to choose from, the pumpkin bread is perfectly spiced and the banana bread whoopie pie with both peanut butter and chocolate fluff is simply devine. The menu changes weekly so there is always something new to try. So, next time you are near 92 Ave and Wads, make sure you stop at The Happy Caker. You won't be disappointed! read more
