Simple, cozy, vanilla-forward staples for every season.
The Vanilla Line
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.
The Vanilla Line™ was created to bring warmth, comfort, and a little everyday luxury into your life — whether you’re baking with little helpers, hosting family dinner, or treating yourself after a long day. These vanilla-forward favorites are designed to make simple moments feel special.
Homemade Vanilla Extract
Add a splash to pancakes, cookies, muffins, coffee, or your favorite family recipes for instant warmth and depth. It’s the easiest way to make your kitchen smell like something magical is happening.
Vanilla Sugar
Sprinkle over toast, stir into coffee, dust over muffins, or swap it for regular sugar in any recipe when you want an extra layer of cozy vanilla flavor.
Salted Vanilla Toffee Cookies
Share them at family gatherings, gift a box to someone you love, or keep a few for yourself (no judgment). They’re my signature for a reason — soft, chewy, nostalgic, and perfectly balanced.
Vanilla Bean Cake
Soft, tender layers made with my signature homemade vanilla extract and finished with smooth vanilla buttercream. This cake proves that vanilla is never plain — it’s warm, floral, and quietly luxurious. Perfect for birthdays, showers, Mother’s Day, or those simple celebrations that deserve something beautiful.
