    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!

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. We will return for some more flaky, apple-y goodness. The webpage makes mymouth water. I see many items are normal and mini sized. Great idea Dawn.

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.

Have a meal at The Sicilian Butcher and then follow that up with dessert at The Sicilian Baker. There are several locations in town, with this one being in North Phoenix. On my most recent visit, I stopped by on a Thursday. Parking tends to be busy in their complimentary lot, but you'll find a spot. Ambiance (4/5): The Sicilian Baker is connected to The Sicilian Butcher. It's a small bakery, with only a few seats. More of a grab-and-go type of spot or the source of your dessert if you're dining at the restaurant. While small, the decor and ambiance is nice. Service (3/5): A little bit of bad luck, but on my most recent visit, they were having trouble with their refrigeration so no gelato was available. While interacting with the staff, it was an average experience. I will say that the service was much better in the restaurant. Drinks (N/A): I only got dessert, but they do have coffee and a few other beverages available. Food (4/5): The Sicilian Baker is known for its cannolis, tiramisu, gelato, and lobster claws (dessert, not real lobster haha). On my most recent visit, I had a cannoli. They have your classic cannoli but also a nice variety of other fillings including pistachio, Reese's, and more. A+ for creativity, though I decided to stick with the classic. Solid. In fact, all of the desserts I've had here over the years have been quite good.
