The Vanilla Line

Simple, cozy, vanilla-forward staples for every season.

Vanilla has always been the heart of my kitchen. It’s warm, simple, and nostalgic, the kind of flavor that turns everyday baking into something special. It reminds me why I started Happy Hippo Bakery in the first place: to help families slow down, bake together, and make sweet memories at home.

Everything in The Vanilla Line is built around that feeling. Cozy. Comforting. Made with love in my tiny Hutto kitchen.

Descriptions for seasonal vanilla line item

The Vanilla Line™ was created to make everyday baking feel cozy, simple, and special — whether you’re baking with little helpers or treating yourself after a long day. Here are a few of my favorite ways to bring these vanilla-forward staples into your home:

 Homemade Vanilla Extract

Add a splash to pancakes, cookies, muffins, or your favorite family recipes for instant warmth and sweetness. It’s the easiest way to make your kitchen smell like magic.

Vanilla Sugar

Sprinkle over toast, coffee, muffins, or fruit — or swap it for regular sugar in any recipe when you want an extra layer of cozy vanilla flavor.

Salted Vanilla Toffee Cookies

Bake a box for gifting, share them at family gatherings, or keep a few for yourself (no judgment). They’re my signature for a reason — soft, chewy, and perfectly nostalgic.

Vanilla Blondies (Seasonal Swirls)

Cut into squares for school treats, potlucks, or weekend desserts. Each seasonal flavor swirl brings a little excitement to this year-round favorite.
