Happy May!
And just like that, it's May! And hopefully also "just like that," we're done with cold rain and snow. We think there is something kinda magical about May — the flowers are blooming, the days are getting brighter and a little longer, and it's not too hot yet. May is the perfect time to slow down, savor the sunshine, and of course… indulge in something delicious! This month, we're looking forward to Mother's Day, graduation parties, wedding season, the Summer Flavor Battle and more!
Two for $5 on Tuesday
In case you forgot, stop by every Tuesday and get TWO cupcakes for $5 ALL DAY! Two cupcakes are a perfect treat – one for you and one to share. Or two for you, we don't judge. And you deserve a treat after making it all the way through a Monday.
Summer Flavor Battle
The Battle is back. We probably need theme music. The Summer Flavor Battle will make its return on Tuesday, May 6. And, of course, the best part is that you get to SAMPLE and VOTE!
If you haven't battled before, here's how it works: every day for TWO WEEKS, we'll have samples of TWO FLAVORS available in the bakery for you to try. Then, you cast your vote by letting us know in the bakery, voting in the Instagram poll each day, or commenting on the post with which flavor you prefer.
We count up the votes and get to work making the summer menu! Easy! Check out these scheduled battles below! And keep an eye out for the New Summer Menu starting in June!
• Tuesday, May 6 and 13 – Root Beer Float and Dole Whip
• Wednesday, May 7 and May 14 0 Strawberry Orange and Banana Split
• Thursday, May 8 and May 15 – Lemon Blueberry and Honey Bun
• Friday, May 9 and May 16 – Cherry Limeade and Pina Colada
• Saturday, May 10 and May 17 – Orange Creamsicle and S’mores
Mother’s Day, May 11, is HUGE at Happy Bakeshop.

National Chocolate Chip Day – May 15
Speaking of any excuse to party…stop in on Thursday, May 15, and help us celebrate the beloved chocolate chip. We'll have chocolate chip cupcakes (2 for $5) and our famous Sea Salt Chocolate Chip Cookies (B1G1).
Weddings, Weddings, Weddings
The month of May is so wedding-coded that May 1 is actually National Wedding Planning Day. Now, you have no excuse to put off ordering your wedding desserts. Head to our website to learn more about Happy Weddings, or reach out to our Wedding and Events Team. We love weddings, and we'd be thrilled to help you plan the perfect wedding desserts!
Memorial Day
Last but not least, in May, it's Memorial Day, the unofficial start of summer. We’ll be celebrating (of course) with red, white and blue decorations, themed sugar cookies and shop cakes available in the bakery all week.
Coming up:
· New Flavors in June!
