About Me

Hi, I’m Jackie - baker, mom, vanilla lover, and the hands behind every single order at Happy Hippo Bakery.

I started this business in 2023 with one goal: to make it easier for families to slow down, share a treat, and create something sweet together. What began as a small side hustle while raising my son has grown into a full-time home bakery focused on custom cakes, cozy vanilla-forward flavors, and community-rooted baking, all from my kitchen here in Hutto, TX.

In 2026, my north star is simple: Lead with Vanilla. Bring Families Together. Serve Hutto.

Whether it’s a first birthday smash cake, a dozen cupcakes for the office, or cookies just because, everything I bake is made-to-order, made with care, and made with you in mind.

Alongside my custom cakes and cookies, you’ll still find some of the things Happy Hippo was built on:

• Guilt-free toddler muffins and banana breads

• Best-selling salted vanilla toffee cookies

• Small-batch baking mixes and pantry favorites (yes, including my signature vanilla extract)

And with rotating seasonal menus and local pickup, I’m always dreaming up new ways to make your celebrations a little more special and your everyday moments a little sweeter.

Thanks for being here. Let’s make something lovely together.

💛 Jackie
