I tried this place for the first time today and got the lavender honey cupcake. The cake was so dry, and the frosting was too sweet. So disappointing. Quality assurance and consistency is so important when it comes to food. These should not have been put out and sold.

It is very rare that you will see a one-star review from me, but the reason for ordering from this small business is one: to support small businesses, as I am an event planner and work with a number of small businesses and two: needing dessert for a celebration. A gender reveal to be exact.When the couple went in for the cake, they were so disappointed because the photo that they sent to this company was not what was delivered sadly. They wanted three layers of the gender color, but there was only one, which was very hard to see and the blue color was not a distinct blue either. It was funny and sad at the same time when the couple took a double take at the inside of the cake.All of the guests and even the couple were confused. If it wasn’t for me being in the front row and screaming, “IT’S A BOY!,” no one would have known the gender until later.We also ordered cupcakes as well and the flavors were different, which the guests enjoyed.I hope that they can do better and perhaps we will have a better experience if we order from here again.

When I was forced to work in the Darwinist hell of executive higher education administration (I call those my “lost years”) my staff used to bring Happy Bakery cupcakes for special occasions, I loved them.Thursday afternoon was the first time since the pandemic that I’ve been able to return to Happy Bakery. I even told the girl working at the shop to forgive me if I burst into excited tears like a huge baby. I wish I had not returned; I had a pretty terrible experience. There were no excited tears.The first red flag was being charged for more than I’d ordered/was served. I returned to the store to address this to the girl at the shop immediately after getting to my car and looking at my receipt. Then, after hyping up these once glorious cupcakes to my partner all day I was grossly disappointed to find each cupcake to be dried to the point of crumbling unpleasantness. The flavors of some seemed to be just nonexistent or terribly muted. This was not what I remember from the shop; the quality and service I received was fairly appalling. There was most assuredly *no* Happy in these baked goods, only the flavor of rage and regret.So disappointing.

I ordered a cake and cupcakes for a 40th birthday party and they turned out better than what I imagined! They were a huge hit with all of the guests. The ordering process was easy and the cake and cupcakes were ready at the scheduled pickup. I highly recommend for any occasion! (cake toppers are mine, not the bakery’s)

Happy Bakeshop will forever hold a special place in my heart. Their team patiently consulted with me on a cake and cookie order for my gender reveal party, showing me examples and answering my hundreds of silly questions. And even fitting my tight turnaround time. Devastatingly, I found out a few days later that I lost the baby. Even though I’m sure it was past the cancellation date, Happy Bakeshop not only allowed me to cancel my order but also gifted me a beautiful cake for my birthday a few days later. Their kindness and generosity during one of the worst times of my life moved me to tears. This business is ran by wonderful, thoughtful people. I will always choose them first over any other bakery.

I ordered my 22nd birthday cake from here and gave the bakers creative liberty with a few ideas for colors and I wanted daisies and butterflies. They were very professional with e-mail replies and got my cake ready about 5 days before the party. It was a Dolly Parton themed party and my cake was so cute! We got lots of compliments. The cake wasn't too sweet, and the filling had a nice strawberry flavor. Definitely will be coming back for next years cake!

Happened to walk by during their $2 cupcake special. The shop smelled amazing. Our group picked out 8 cupcakes, and there were still so many others we wanted to try and didn't have room for! The cupcakes were moist for days, balanced between dense and bouncy, and had the perfect ratio of frosting (not too sweet!) and dough.We tried a couple of the GF cupcakes and they were also amazing.Dietary restrictions: The gluten-free cupcakes were delicious too!
Baked goods are fantastic! But the customer service is poor. I came in on a Tuesday night to pick up something up for a dinner party and the girl behind the counter was very rude.

We purchased a vegan carrot cake for my sons first birthday as a "smash cake" because he has an egg allergy. My husband and I couldn't even tell it was vegan! This cake was so delicious and moist - and I had asked for low sugar so they did the "naked cake" with barely any frosting. Customer service was impeccable, responding to emails quickly and calling me for confirmations. Couldn't recommend more - thank you to the happy Bakeshop team!!

The pumpkin spice latter cupcake is to die for! ? Bummed out they don’t have that as an everyday flavor but there’s other great ones to choose from!

I love Happy Bakeshop! I've been coming here for years- their scotcheroo is my absolute favorite, and they have the funnest cupcake flavors around :)

We got our wedding cake here and it turned out absolutely INCREDIBLE! We had done their cupcake testing and worked with them on flavors and were able to come up with exactly what we wanted, lemon cake w/raspberry filling inside. So good. They were all so easy to work with and very responsive. Also got one of their jumbo cupcakes as it was my Dad's birthday and it turned out incredible also, so moist. Will definitely be back for future occasions and telling our friends to use them as well!
