Slap Happy Baking Company

Slap-​Happy CLOSED. It seems new owners took over. New name and all. I’ll have to give it a try one of these days.

As others have posted, the owner does come off with some serious attitude and tends to be argumentative. They offer breakfast sandwiches but half the time you go in for one, the grill hasn’t even been started yet. I agree, their breakfast sandwiches are less than exciting, along with the so-​so coffee. She has some really creative ideas when it comes to the cupcakes, but lacks the execution when baking them. They tend to be dry cake and mediocre filling at best. From what I understand the bars (which are pretty much the best items they have) are brought in. The owner, herself, had told me that the Whoopie Pies are from Pennsylvania. It’s definitely worth the extra time and gas to head over to Dortoni’s in Levittown… they never miss a beat.

Great bake goods. In fact my nephew bought two pies for our Thanksgiving dinner. One pumpkin; the other apple. Both were so awesome that they were gone after two days. I highly recommend them.

Three words to describe the cupcakes here: addictive, creative and quality.
I come into this shop every year around my birthday to pick up about 25 cupcakes– why? Because I cannot seem to have an birthday party without them anymore.
A few years ago I had a brunch at my place and thought they would be a fun addition… since then people actually look for them at my house! I even think that they look forward to my birthday because of these ridiculously fantastic cupcakes. They are made of the highest quality ingredients and are very very creative — think peanut butter and jelly cupcakes, cannolli cupcakes, boston cream… ok, I can’t remember the amazing creations, but they are fantastic!!!
Yes, this place is a bit pricey and the staff isn’t amused with my cupcake excitement but these are definitely worth the trip.
Gorgeous looks, great tasting, conversation starting… and super huge! You can’t go wrong!

Amateur Hour Baking Company is probably a better name for this place. The product is sub-​par and the service is even worse. Seems like a Mom decided it would be fun to open a bakery because some of her friends liked her cupcakes, when in reality this place can’t hold a candle to your average Italian bakery that can be found in just about every town on Long Island. Do yourself a favor and skip over this gruel factory.

I love this place and I’m so happy it’s local! Everything I’ve tried has been delicious. Not only are their cupcakes pretty, but they actually taste good. I also recommend the blueberry scones and the blueberry coffee cake. Yummy :)

Since my last review I have returned to Slap Happy during the holidays and I had to come here to give them props on the excellent pies! I called in my order ahead of time and picked up my pies the morning of and could not have asked for a better experience!

By far the best peanut butter bars, and rainbow cookies I’ve had. The store is so appealing and there new addition of retro candies that really give it that fresh old school vibe., Get the rainbow cookies!!!

Mmm black and white cake… It was awesome! Their customer service needs a little work. The woman that assisted me was cold and made me feel like she didn’t want me there. Their breakfast sandwich was okay, but I will not return for it; it wasn’t anything special.

Slap Happy has some excellent items, such as their pound cake, cheesecake, and peanut butter chocolate cupcakes. These get 5 stars. The negative reviews regarding the owner are unfortunately true. She is obviously a superb baker but falls short in customer service. They recently began serving breakfast and I was really excited to see what twist they would put into it but alas the egg sandwich is mediocre and the owner seemed annoyed we ordered them and it took 10 or 15 minutes. The coffee was nothing special either and as with everything here it was a bit pricy. My wife has encountered the owners cold shoulder attitude in the past too. It’s a shame because they have some excellent baked goods but customer service is critical even more so at a more upscale/​expensive establishment such as this.

I’ve recently moved to Brooklyn but when I visit my parents on the weekend, I always stop at Slap Happy. The whoopie pies are my absolute favorite and they have recently added a bunch of flavors that I need to try – if you stick them in the freezer they taste just like an ice cream sandwich. On Easter I noticed that they now have bread so I’ll keep that in mind for future holidays. So glad we have a bakery like this in the area!

First off, I have to say that their product is overall high quality. Our family has tried most of the cupcakes, some of their prepared cakes and we’ve now ordered two custom cakes for parties. Guests have complimented the taste of the cakes and on one occasion the woman taking my order guided me away from a cake filling that she felt didn’t work with the cake I wanted. It’s a nice looking place and I like local businesses who focus on one thing. Points for that, at least.
However, I’m giving three stars due to spotty service. We ordered a custom cake for our kids’ party. On their order sheet, they say they can cut the cake into a design. When my wife placed the order, she was told by one of the workers that they weren’t going to do that. It’s not like she asked for something complicated. The person taking the order was a younger girl and was not interested in discussing further. Fine, we thought. The year prior they also didn’t offer cakes cut into custom shapes but the artwork on the cake was well done. So my wife ordered a ¼ sheet cake with the party theme drawn on. I picked up the cake, and upon inspection, it did not meet our expectations. The border icing was the wrong color, and then drawn over with the right one. The artwork on the cake was terrible. We’ve gotten nicer cakes from BJ’s. With the party beginning in two hours, there was no time to complain or have it redone.
Bottom line, we’ll be back for their other baked goods but we will not order a custom cake from them again.

Now that I’m living in New York again, I’m delighted to return to my absolute favorite bakery.
The folks at Slap Happy do it right — quality ingredients, mass variety, and an atmosphere you simply can’t find anywhere else in the current day. Staff is friendly and helpful in picking from the amazing selection of delectable treats.
The tradition continues that Slap Happy provides desserts during birthdays and holidays and I am incredibly pleased that they offer such wonderful options.
This bakery is a find and a MUST VISIT for anyone seeking delicious baked goods.

I don’t live on Long Island anymore, but I was recently visiting and brought a bunch of stuff from Slap Happy to a party. They have an incredibly unique selection of treats that are always delicious. My personal favorite is the chocolate cream filled cupcake with chocolate icing on top — ridiculously good. The rainbow bars are also amazing and the chocolate chip crumb ring was (and is) always a hit at any block party or gathering.
Best bakery on LI; great décor as well.

Just got home with my 6 cupcakes for $ 15. I only ate 1.05 cupcakes the rest went in the garbage. Cannoli one had so much anisette or sambuca it tasted like perfume & made my mouth numb. Then the midnight barrrrrrfberry. Omg the frosting was rotten. Like rotten milk rotten. I’m still trying to keep the vomit from coming up… so disgusting. Rotten frosting is a first. Wtf? Can’t anyone give a crap about what they serve anymore? I really should call & let them know, but why bother… probably wont even get an apology. I should have just flushed the money down the toilet instead. Avoid.

This place has amazing treats. The variety is large, the quality is great, and the pricing is fair. I always buy my treats from there, whether its their brownie chocolate cake or their delicious chocolate covered potato chips. Everything is really delicious. Their mini pies and whoopie pies are delicious too.
The only negative to slap happy is the owners personality. She’s not very friendly. which really isn’t hurting anyone besides herself. She’s dry and unfriendly. but who ever is baking knows what their doing so I can sacrifice a little ‘tude for my desserts.
Pros: Quality, Variety, Ambiance
Cons: Be prepared for crankiness!

Just slap… no happy…
A friend warned me about the owners nasty attitude. I decided to check it out anyway… Big mistake. I tried to ask a question about some of the cupcakes and I’ve never been so unwelcome in my life. I ended up walking out.

The cupcakes here are good. They don’t have a wide variety of flavors but what they do offer, are done right. The reason for the low rating is because of someone working there — I believe it’s the owner. She was extremely unpleasant, very dry and gave had such a nasty attitude when we asked about a new cupcake flavor that was out. It left such a bad taste in my mouth that I left. I actually wanted a cake from this bakery for my birthday but the customer service was enough for me not to bother going back. I’ll get my cake somewhere else.

I had the pleasure of tasting a rainbow cookie cake from this place in April and finally, on my day off yesterday, remembered to get there when the store was open. (They have weird hours and actually I was in luck because they just started their Monday hours).
I’ve been on the hunt for a great cupcake. So far my quest isn’t going that well. So many choices of cupcakes, it was hard to pick! I opted for the «Monkey Split», mini vanilla cupcake with pink frosting and a vanilla iced coffee. The Monkey split is a banana bread cupcake adorn with vanilla cream, chocolate syrup and a cherry on top. The cake itself was a little dense and could have been a little more moist. Good flavor combo though. The vanilla mini was dry and needed sugar. Maybe another egg or a little bit of oil would of helped it out. The frosting on top was too sugary lol. Together they sort of balanced the lack of the other one but only slightly.
Still searching. Suggestions are welcomed :)

*3.5 stars*
My boyfriend’s parents sent him a black and white cake from here on his birthday. It was all he wanted. :) Although they had to package and ship it here themselves, it arrived by mail in perfect condition, unharmed and very fresh. (Thanks, UPS!)
The cake was yellow on the inside with a layer of chocolate icing and a diameter of no more than 10 inches. The frosting on top was part chocolate, part vanilla in almost a homage to the black and white cookie. Pretty cool concept.
I thought the cake was good but the icing was a tad sweet for my taste. I’d definitely go back and try other bakery items in the store next time we visit!
