    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!

    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 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!

    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!

    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!!!

    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.

    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!

    Visiting from out of town and typically like to make sure I try as many local places as possible,…read morehowever, I enjoyed Sweet Dee's so much I had them twice for breakfast and took treats for later both days. Dirty Pistachio Chai, Hot Chicken Biscuit, Tiramisu Donut, and Ferrero Rocher Cannoli, and Dee's club were all great, but the Bacon Jam Sandwhich on a Panini and Pistachio Macarons shaped as cacti were the stars for my boyfriend and I. The only thing we tried that we didn't love was the Breakfast Sandwhich but not because it was of bad quality, but rather the flavors felt bland compared to the other menu items. Overall, the Sweet Dees team is super friendly, the interior is charming, and the baked goods are great quality. I highly recommend!

There's a few bar height seats inside, but they also have tables and chairs right outside. I've been here twice now, and I'm glad there's always parking in front of the shop. I'm even more glad that this place is literally 6 minutes from where I work! Hehe... The macarons here are delicious and such a great deal! At $3 a pop, I definitely know I'm NOT in California!! Haha!! I used to get special character ones from my favorite shop at the Irvine Spectrum mall for around $10-$12 each!!! I am glad to say I have left that behind, lol. The Madam Croque I had last time was sooo damn good!!! I'm going back for sure to try more of their sammies! If you have never gone, GO!!! You'll thank me later. TRUST!

I am very gluten sensitive and wasn't sure what would be safe to order and it's very rare to begin with finding a place that advertises catering to such dietary restrictions. But Michelle -- the owner -- personally came over and took the time to guide me through the menu. Her warmth, knowledge, and genuine enthusiasm for accommodating gluten sensitivities immediately put me at ease. We both decided on the cinnamon roll, and honestly, it was the best pastry we've ever had. You can truly taste the difference in baked goods that are made fresh daily and never left sitting around -- the quality and care shine through in every bite. What meant the most to us was how Michelle came back to our table just to connect and chat. That kind of personal attention makes you feel less like a customer and more like part of the community. We cannot say enough wonderful things about Beg Bakery. This is the kind of small business that deserves to be celebrated and supported. We'll absolutely be back again and again as well as send all of our family and friends here!

When we got there they were freshly loading the cupcakes into the display area. The cupcakes are very dense. Great for sharing. It did cost about $6 a cupcake.
