We worked with Jana and it was seamless! She helped us determine the size of our cutting cake, set up a tasting box, and she was so kind to us. Our cake was beautiful and delicious...

Our wedding cake was a showstopper, and it’s all thanks to the incredible talent and craftsmanship of Happy Chicks Bakery! From our first interaction to the final reveal, the entir...
e process was seamless and enjoyable. They took our vision and turned it into a stunning (and delicious!) work of art.
Not only was the cake visually breathtaking with its elegant design but the cupcakes were as well and everything was delicious. We did the strawberry rose for our cake and then the grapefruit vanilla, bourbon chocolate cherry, and apple cider cupcakes!
The bakery’s team was a dream to work with: professional, responsive, and so dedicated to ensuring every detail was perfect. They also accommodated our special requests and dietary needs effortlessly, making us feel completely cared for.
Thank you for creating a cake that was as memorable as our special day! If you’re searching for a bakery that combines artistry and flavor, you want Happy Chicks! We were just so pleased and forever thankful!
I’ll come back and post pictures once we have them from our photographer!

Happy Chicks is a great small business and they are very good at what they do. We ordered a small two tier cake with one tier being Lemon/Blueberry and the other being Tiramisu. Bo...

We loved hiring Happy Chicks Bakery for our wedding. The cake (flavour: date night) was absolutely gorgeous and we got so many compliments from all of our guests-- even the ones t...
hat didn't know the cake was vegan! The design of the cake was beautiful and the team was so accommodating in meeting our needs, including providing options for our guests with allergies, and delivering the cake promptly. We would absolutely recommend.
We were very disappointed with our cake from Happy Chicks for my bridal shower. We were hoping to use them for a wedding cake but will not be doing so after our experience. We paid...
an additional $5 for blueberries to top the cake, and only a few blueberries were put around the ridges of the cake. The cake was also extremely dry and bread like, to the point that it was inedible. The icing was so sweet that not even the kids could eat it. It was very beautifully decorated apart from the lack of blueberries I had paid for, but the taste was not worth the $50 for a very small cake. I reached out to their team in hopes that they would offer some sort of partial refund or something for good will, but they offered nothing. As a small business I would expect an understanding of how hard people work for their money and an effort to make it right. But sadly I was not met with that, so I am having to post this review to prevent others from experiencing the same.
Highly Recommend!!! It was so difficult to decide on a flavor at the tasting! If you are looking for any unique designs and tasty flavors, this bakery will deliver! We had two beau...
tiful cakes. One was an "Under the Sea" design with waves and seahorses with the flavor as bourbon black forest. The second was two layers, the top was a map with the bottom layer covered in rosettes. The second cake's flavor was lemon raspberry.
My wife and I ordered our wedding cake from Happy Chicks Bakery and could not be happier with how it turned out. We opted for the tiramisu and it tasted just as delicious as the da...
y we went for the cake testing. Our guests commented on the flavor, saying that it was a different flavor than they usually have at weddings and they loved it. My wife and I are both vegan, but none of our friends or family are vegan. When we told them the cake was vegan, everyone commented on how they could not tell a difference. If you have a mixture of diets in your family, this would please many people!
We also loved the way that the cake was iced. It looked lovely with the flowers we added on later. Jana at Happy Chicks was so helpful through the whole process, from the cake tasting, to answering questions, and delivering the cake.
If you are looking for a wonderful cake for your wedding from a wholesome company, I 10/10 recommend Happy Chicks Bakery! Go book with them now!

d and I want to celebrate our anniversary every year by getting the same cake we had at our wedding! It was exactly what I envisioned, and it tasted better than I could have imagined. I also got a Happy Chicks cake for my bridal shower, and the guests could not stop talking about how delicious it was.
Our wedding cake from Happy Chicks was everything we dreamed it would be! The cake was delicious, and none of our guests even suspected it was vegan. I highly recommend them, wheth...

was true to our style and taste. Happy Chicks Bakery is easily the best bakery in the greater Cincinnati - NKY area. I tell everyone and anyone about them! We are trying very hard to keep the top of our delicious wedding cake frozen until our 1 year anniversary but something tells me it’ll be gone before then. Absolutely DELICIOUS vegan, gluten free, dairy free everything. Thank you for making a cake for our special day that we will vie after and dream about for all of our years to come. Book them now for any and all events that you need baked goods for!

g cake. Jana embodied the name of the bakery and you could tell she really loves what she does. They offered so many unique and delicious flavors and design options. Thank you Happy Chicks for making our wedding day so sweet!
The flavor and decorations were 10/10!
Unfortunately, we ran out of cake.
We ordered 3 cakes for our wedding and it was PHENOMENAL. Everyone loved the cakes and nobody could tell ...
they were vegan, except for our vegan friends who were extremely happy to have a dessert option at a wedding they could eat!
The only issue was we were recommended a certain amount of cake for our guests, under the assumption everyone would have one slice, but in reality guests took 2 or 3 slices to try the different flavors. This resulted in a shortage of cake that was a real bummer.
Overall, I recommend A LOT more cake if you plan to have multiple flavors on the assumption people will take multiple slices.
Thanks!
If you have any allergy concerns for your wedding day, look no further than Happy Chicks! They made a delicious vegan and gluten-free cake with differently flavored layers for ou...
r 175 guests and the cake was gorgeous with space for the wedding topper. Cannot say enough good things about them and have used them for other family functions already!

licious, unique, and not overly sweet flavors at Happy Chicks, we knew they had to do our wedding cake. I was nervous that our guests would not eat our wedding cake, but not a single piece was left by the end of the night. They were also so creative in the design and I was blown away seeing the cake after I had described and shown them pictures of my vision for the cake. We can't wait to have them make many more cakes and cupcakes for all of the special occasions in our lives.
We were so happy that we chose Happy Chicks Bakery for our wedding cake. We wanted to have something that tasted amazing, looked great, fit my dietary needs, and was original. I di...
dn't tell anyone that the cake was vegan because I didn't want anyone having a bad view before they tasted it. With no surprise, no one could tell, or care, that it was vegan! We had a 5 tier cake in lavender vanilla with our wedding flowers decorated on top. We could not have been more pleased with how it turned out. Now, every time we are in the area, we pop in to get little cupcakes to bring us back to our day.
Happy Chicks- amazing!! So fun to work with, their cake flavors are a level above anything else we ever tasted! We are big foodies, and knew we needed to have the best food and des...
serts. They did our cake and various desserts for our dessert bar. We loved that they had seasonal flavors, we even had people during our reception tell us how amazing our cake was! Which I feel like hardly ever happens at weddings haha. They said “Omgosh that olive oil lemon cake, the best wedding cake we’ve ever had!” Will continue to buy from Happy Chicks for any special occasion we have!
Happy Chicks is our favorite! I have a sensitive stomach and didn't want to worry about my wedding cake making me sick, so when I researched alternatives I figured that I would hav...
e to compromise flavor. They proved me wrong!!! We received so many compliments on the cake, and nobody even knew they were eating vegan! They truly went above and beyond with flavor and customer service - we love them!!
My husband has a whey protein allergy, which means that he can't have dairy, and we thought that finding a wedding cake he could eat would be difficult and maybe not so tasty. We w...
ere so excited to find a vegan bakery in Cincinnati and even more excited to find that it's DELICIOUS! We went for the tasting when all of our parents were in town and my husband's dad said we didn't have to go anywhere else after trying Happy Chicks. They were great to work with and people said great things about the different flavors we had. We tried so many things that we liked and there was no surcharge for having each tier as a different flavor. The cake was beautiful and simple and we loved it.
Happy Chicks was an affordable and delicious option for our cake. We were very pleased and would use them again for other events.
I am writing this review on behalf of my daughter who got married in September. A year ago my daughter would have recommended Happy Chicks to anyone vegan or not. However after t...
he experience with her wedding cake, with no resolution, she no longer can. She and her husband met with Happy Chicks to do the cake testing and spent time discussing and sent follow up emails to discuss the color and look of the cake. They were looking for a copper accent on the cake. They were told that if they could not replicate the copper color with frosting, then Happy Chicks would cover a section of the cake in fondant that could be removed before eating. This did not happen and the copper accent can only be described as baby poo green. Both my daughter and myself sent emails to let Happy Chicks know we were disapppointed with the result. They did apologize but then also said that colors were not guaranteed and the color on the cake was the closest they could come to copper. They also said the color would have been closer to copper if they has used fondant. I'm still not sure why that option wasn't used since it was explained as an option. If Happy Chicks had contacted my daughter and said that they could not create the copper color, she would have changed the design of the cake, rather than serve guests something that looked so unappetizing. The cake tasted great, but it is so disappointing that we will not be able to enjoy the pictures of the cake. Unfortunately, the taste does not last forever, but pictures do. Besides the apology, no other solution has been offered and all the photos my daughter has of the cake just reminds her and her husband of their disappointment.
Happy Chicks made a three tiered wedding cake for us. Everyone loved it and the caterers said they've never seen a wedding cake disappear so quickly!
The staff at Hapy Chicks are great, really worked with us to make sure we were happy with the flavors of our wedding cake. The cake was a hit! The cupcakes were delicious! The cake...
was beautiful with buttercream succulents to match out theme, it was just great.
Planning went smoothly and they were very easy to communicate with. Only reason I gave them 4 stars instead of 5, was because I brought in decorations to use for the cakes (we had...
an individual cake for every table in addition to our main wedding cake) and gave simple instructions for the way these should be used to decorate. On our wedding day, very few of the decorations had been used and there was no decoration on our actual wedding cake. It still looked beautiful though. Overall though the cakes tasted wonderful and we had many guests asking who the vendor was!
Bonus points for them being a vegan bakery and were super flexible with allergy accommodations!
Happy Chicks Bakery did an amazing job creating my dream wedding cake! They were so helpful and friendly when we went for our tasting, and the cakes were all so delicious. Our gues...
ts were surprised to hear it was a vegan cake, and our vegan friends were very gracious that they could also enjoy the dessert. I would highly recommend!
We asked Happy Chicks to make us a geode cake and cupcakes for our wedding. They did an amazing job! The cake was absolutely flawless! Most of our guests had no idea it was vegan. ...
They were also great when my grandma and I went to taste and pick a cake flavor. We got one-on-one assistance and 6 cupcakes to taste at no charge, and Jana really worked to make sure we got exactly what we wanted. If you're getting married anywhere near Cincinnati, definitely order from here! We got married over an hour away and the cake and cupcakes held up perfectly during transport too.
Amazing and delicious vegan wedding cakes for our dessert bar and perfect brunch items for our group as we got ready the morning of our wedding. The deliveries were timely and the ...

lavor and even allowed us to mix and match some of the flavors from their list of options to create the exact cakes/fillings we wanted. My husband and I were not looking for a vegan cake in particular, but we LOVED the cake at Happy Chicks and so did all of our guests (we got many compliments on it and had none leftover) - every flavor we tried at the tasting was absolutely delicious, we had the hardest time making up our minds on what to get! Additionally, their service was impeccable - anytime I needed to contact them I heard back right away and the cake was delivered on time with no issues. I would highly recommend working with Happy Chicks, it was nothing less than the best experience for us!
Happy Chicks was amazing to work with. The cakes were amazing (btw we are not vegan) . This place was by far the best place we tried.
Working with the ladies of Happy Chicks was great! I was really nervous that I was going to have issues finding a gluten free dessert that everyone would enjoy, but they had so ma...
ny great flavor choices! Everyone else really only had chocolate as an option, whereas I got cinnamon and caramel apple cider flavored layers for my fall wedding cake! The cake was beautiful as well! I'll continue to go to them for future desserts!

wanted to do a cake -- more often than not, wedding cakes just taste like plain sugar, and we are not big on icing. However, we fell in love with Happy Chicks. They made the cake taste and look exactly like we wanted, and were super punctual with the delivery. I would highly recommend their services to anyone looking for wedding cakes that are not too sweet, but still have tons of flavor and personality.
Oh my gosh, not only delicious but a work of art. Happy Chicks created our wedding cake and a Groom's cake. Their flavors were amazing (we got so many compliments), I could feel go...
od about the cake because of the ingredients they used and their dyes are all natural, and it was beautiful! We met with Jessica and she sketched out an idea that we tweaked a little and the second sketch she sent us was perfect. Seeing a sketch and seeing the cake can be a huge difference, but this was exactly what we had envisioned.
It was so beautiful, I was sad to cut it!
I could not be more impressed by Happy Chicks and their work. I am so thankful we found them and incredibly grateful for the services they offer.
And I really cannot say enough about how delicious and flavorful their cake is! We got to choose a different flavor for each tier and each one was AMAZING!
I need to go get a box of cupcakes for our anniversary! :)
Happy Chicks are the best bakers in Cincinnati. Their cakes are moist, delicious, and beautiful. Vegan was important, as my husband has a dairy allergy, but do not let that dissu...
ade you, these cakes are superb.
After months of planning our wedding, we eloped and had a day to put together a celebration. They assembled a wonderful cake to accommodate our hectic whim.
Ten Stars!

had wanted, the flowers looked so perfect!! I came in the day before the wedding to pick up a smaller cake for the rehearsal dinner, and they were so excited about the cake that they showed me the flowers they had made for it. They're so passionate about what they do, and they do it well!
Very good experience with Happy Chicks, would highly recommend!!

My husband and I were already big fans of the Happy Chicks when we started planning our wedding a little over a year ago. We regularly stopped in to their lovely shop to pick up c...
ookies or lunch or the custom birthday cake here and there. I first encountered their delicious treats when I regularly attended the Madeira Farmer's Market a couple of years ago. When it came time to plan our wedding, there was no question that we would trust the cake part of our festivities to the Happy Chicks.
The whole process was so easy. We went to one of their wedding tasting events, and even though we were familiar with all of their cupcake flavors, we found the tasting experience very helpful in terms of choosing which flavors to present together. We decided on a three tier cake for our small-ish wedding of 75 guests: the largest cake was a Caramel Chocolate Stout, the middle cake was their Yellow Dragon flavor (coconut yellow curry cupcake with almond icing and almond garnish), and for the top layer we had a small gluten free Caramel Macchiato cake. The cake was universally loved! There was very little of it left at the end of the night, even though we ordered far more than we needed. I have a six year old daughter, so we had lots of kids there, and the kids were big fans of the cake, as well. Best of all, everyone was able to enjoy the cake: we have vegetarian and vegan friends, as well as friends with allergies and sensitivities. Our cake had something for everyone. The Happy Chicks understand the complexities of cross-contamination, and they were able to make our cake beautiful and extra safe by keeping the gluten free layer separated from the rest of the cake (they used a base for the gluten free cake, but I don't know what it's called, and it was hidden by icing), along with explicit instructions to the catering staff about how to remove the top carefully. They also provided reminders to the catering staff to have someone cut and prepare the gluten free slices separately from the rest of the cake, with a different knife and fresh gloves.
As for the design of the cake, my husband and I had an art deco themed wedding, and we brought our idea for how we wanted the cake to look to the Happy Chicks. My husband drew the idea out on a sheet of paper, and they executed the design perfectly. We chose midnight blue for our primary wedding color, and without using artificial colors, the Happy Chicks were able to capture two lovely complimentary shades of blue which we requested for the icing on two tiers of the cake. We didn't decorate our venue very much--we wanted to keep things simple--so having such a beautiful cake as a focal point was extra appreciated!
Overall, we highly recommend Happy Chicks Bakery! Our cake was so wonderful, and every time we order a cake it is always so nice to work with them! Their flavors are so inventive and surprising, and their presentation is so beautiful. Thank you, Happy Chicks!
We LOVE Happy Chicks!! They offer such exquisite, interesting flavor options. Their cakes and cupcakes are so moist and rich even though they are vegan! The CHICKS are friendly, ...

ey created a custom "tiny lady's wedding cake" just for me. It was a naked cake in their Grapefruit Poppy Seed flavor. It tasted amazing and the presentation was simple and beautiful! The ladies at Happy Chicks were super helpful and come highly recommended. They also make a fabulous lunch!
First off, if you haven't visited this little bakery on the West side, do yourself a favor and go! All of Jana's creations are delicious.
For the actual wedding cake, Jana was ...
great to work with. We actually did our gender reveal as part of our wedding cake, and it was very easy working with Jana up until our big day.
The cake itself was so delicious. We went with Lavender Lemonade and Black Velvet as our two flavors. I've been to a lot of weddings where the cake looked beautiful, but all you tasted was the hard fondant. Our wedding cake was moist, dense, with tons of flavor. Everyone came back for seconds!
I would highly recommend Happy Chicks to any future bride.
