In 2013, the couple opened the first Happy Mixer in Chalfont, Bucks County, and the second opened in 2017 in Newtown, Bucks County.
Some customers would drive an hour or more to get the tasty freshly-baked, gluten-free desserts.
Lisa Mourer said she put out a survey asking customers where they would like to see the bakery open.
“They said, ‘the Main Line’,” she said, as the bakery was filling up with customers on a recent morning.
Customers raved about the tasty cakes and donuts, saying you would not know the difference between the gluten-free and traditional cakes and cookies.
That’s because Tim Mourer spent years perfecting the recipes to perfect the ingredients to provide tasty cakes for customers who are allergic to gluten.

Tim said he believed that everyone deserves a delicious birthday cake on their birthday. He perfected the recipes and opened the two bakeries in Bucks County.
