Nikki O'Keeffe began experimenting with handcrafted cakes after her children were born. Her creations can take up to 15 hours to complete. Here, O'Keeffe puts the finishing touches on a snowman cake. (Contributed photo)
Although Cake Happy is known for its custom cake creations, the business also makes a variety of homemade cupcakes.
O'Keeffe enjoys the creativity that comes along with her job.
This 70th birthday cake is one of many specialty cakes that O'Keeffe has made. She does all the writing and designs by hand as well.
O'Keeffe handcrafts cakes, including this Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, from scratch.
Nikki O’Keeffe focuses on frosting a cupcake, paying close attention to the details. Occasionally, she and husband Jon will chat, but for the most part, she is focused on her craft.
All artists have canvases. For Nikki, co-owner of Cake Happy in downtown Camas, it is the sweet treats created for customers.
