Happy Cakes Bakeshop

Add Happy Cakes to my list of my favorite cupcake spots, which until now included just Magnolia Bakery in NYC and Sprinkles in L.A. Fortunately, Happy Cakes is in Denver, in the Highlands, one of my favorite neighborhoods. I have to admit that I was never really a cupcake fan until Sarah introduced me to the fact that cupcakes were ‘in’ a few years ago (It was with her that I discovered Magnolia Bakery and Sprinkles….she’s also been known to lead NYC cupcake shop tours).

Last week, on our second-to-last night of the night shift on labor and delivery (I’m finally back to a normal day schedule!), Tiffany, Kiera, and I decided we needed to bring a treat to the nurses in celebration of our last night. We were all too sleep deprived to think of making anything, so Kiera had the perfect idea of getting mini cupcakes from Happy Cakes. They were so cute. My criteria for a good cupcake includes having good frosting and not being dry. Happy Cakes passed the test. I was also delighted with their unique flavors, which change seasonally….such as “sticky bun”, “Arnold Palmer”, “maple bacon”, and “kettle corn”. Their website includes information about the day of the week each flavor is available.

Sarah, I can’t wait to take you here!
