My first impression of this shop was how tidy, welcoming, and clean it was! The staff immediately greeted me and told me to take my time picking something out (even though they were supposed to close in 5 minutes). I picked out an assortment of goodies, and they didn't disappoint. This place is a hidden gem!!

Yummy! February, my sister ordered a champagne cake for my birthday and early retirement. It was beautiful and so delicious. What a special treat.In March, my great niece had almond, chocolate, and champagne cake for her wedding. Again, it was simply delicious. The chocolate tasted like an old-fashioned homemade chocolate cake. Yum!I stopped in the shop recently, and the staff was friendly and as delightful as their baked goods!Top Notch!
They were so amazing to make sure we had everything perfect for my sons Harry Potter Birthday Party ❤️ (we added the hats and wings) but the flavor was perfect, they were accommodating to make the cupcakes with different color centers, and even took the time to hand paint the golden cake balls so we would have the perfect snitches. Will be coming back every year ☺️

The best bakery in the area! Always fresh pastries, cookies, bread, and cakes. Great varieties.

Get there early. Fruit turnovers, fruit tarts and no baked bars are good. But the red velvet and champagne cupcake are the best. Small tables to enjoy, but most buy to go.

Let me begin by saying I have a sweet tooth. Actually sweet teeth.This shop made my mouth water. Cakes, cupcakes, bars, rolls, bread, cookies. And it all looked yum.I left with an Ida May bar, a mini cheesecake, a snickerdoodle and a couple cinnamon rolls.Well worth the visit. Looking to going back to try the lemon bars. And chocolate chip cookies and…Well, you get the idea

This place sucks. I've used them twice for custom cakes and they dropped the ball both times. Communication was chaotic and confusing. I was having to talk to multiple people and it was like playing a game of Telephone for the first cake. Second cake, the line work was so shaky and the design was splotchy. The letters for the "Happy Birthday" were different sizes and ran onto the border of the cake. I highly recommend seeking your baking needs elsewhere!!

I am never disappointed on the service or the baked goods purchase. On Valentine's I purchased cookies with my Granddaughter's names and heart shaped champagne cakes for friends, I of course treated myself and they were as beautiful as they were delicious! This is the only place I order my cakes from and would highly recommend them. They are known for their champagne cakes and cupcakes!
Amazingly tasty food!!!!!!!YES. GO HERE if you want the best cakes and pies in Des Moines!!!!

My mother went here to order a cake for my daughters birthday. They did a beautiful job with the cake and were friendly with such a short notice. Thank you for being friendly, welcoming and making such a tasteful cake!
Paid 57.00 for a strawberry birthday cake and when I went to cut into it it was dry, no flavor of strawberry at all in the cake or icing and I had to wait an extra 2 hours of my scheduled pick up time for it to be ready after receiving a phone call 10 minutes before I was originally scheduled to pick it up and I was just a few blocks away from the bakery when they called! No compensation for having to go back and very disappointed with the cake!Won’t be ordering again.Jill Ramirez

The sweet treats are all AMAZING! Our top pics are the lemon bars when in season! Next best are the chocolate chip cookies and brownies. The staff is always pleasant and friendly.

They made a very cool brain cake and hit it out of the park! Every cake I've ever gotten there was fantastic. Thank you again for a great experience!

Beautiful quaint surroundings. Friendly and accommodating staff person. The letter pastry was a big hit. I'm going back the next time I'm in Des Moines.
