About Us
Born in Noosa in 2018, Happy Pops is a proudly Australian brand built on a simple idea: dessert should be real, beautiful, and fun. Created by husband-and-wife duo Augusta and Ian Puttkammer, the concept combines Augusta’s culinary creativity with Ian’s operational know-how to deliver handcrafted gelato pops that spark happiness in every bite.
Each pop is made in small batches using only natural ingredients, with no artificial colours, flavours, or preservatives. The result is a product that looks as good as it tastes, served in vibrant, welcoming stores that invite customers to create their own unique Happy Pop.
With popular stores in Noosa, South Bank, and Mooloolaba, and even a feature at Bluey’s World, Happy Pops has grown into one of Queensland’s most loved dessert brands.
