Smash cake
Maryan M.

Called a day prior in search for a smash cake and not only did they make an outstanding cake, it taste absolutely amazing!!! I'm not even a huge sweet tooth or cake eater but this place is fantastic

Birthday cake. Lemon flavored
Sherri G.

This is probably the only place I will order a cake from going forward. It's so delicious. The cake is really moist and the frosting is light and whipped. It's the bomb! I tried the little cake also and so far the key lime is my favorite but plan to try all of his flavors especially the champagne! If you need a cake for any occasion this is the place!

Almond

Some of the best cake I've had in the Des Moines area. It can be hard to find frosting that I like as I always feel traditional butter cream is far too rich, but this frosting is lighter and so creamy. The cake is nice and moist too. We had the almond, wedding cake, and champagne!

This was Gaby's cake from let them eat cake

Opps -Ate the cake before I remembered to take a photo…read more That keeps happening with Bundt cakes. Have ordered online ahead of time multiple times. This is an easy thing to do. You can easily order the day before which is what I did this time. Ordered a flavor of the month which was a S'mores flavor and the newest gluten free raspberry lemon flavor. Easy. Paid online and picked up the next day. It's easy to park and get into the building. It's a cute little shoppe. Lots of party favors and little gifts. They have the different styles on display right inside the door. Took it to the birthday party that evening and enjoyed it. Forgot to get a picture of the cake, but they are always picture perfect. It was delicious. The icing is so rich and one of the best parts. I know its a chain, but really it's delicious and hard to beat. My personal favorite is still the lemon blueberry which is seasonal.

Just don't wait for a special occasion to treat yourself to the luscious goodness of a "cream…read morecheese filling" Bundt Cake. The lemon or red velvet are crowd favorites but there are other fun and creative options for you to go and try. Normally, the wait staff has a standard rubric cube speech which needs more piazza-- if you know what you want -- the lack luster spill is of no moment. The fun part is getting your choice of options and escaping the environment full of frills to your happy place to enjoy your purchase.

I found these authentic, delicious meat pies at the Waukee Hy Vee a few weeks ago. When I returned…read moreto restock my freezer I found none in the store. After some research, I found they are made by our friends at St Kilda. I will be ordering directly from them. On the cold, miserable winter day in Iowa, I closed my eyes and enjoyed savory meat pies and imagined I was on the beach "Down Under."

My boyfriend found PIE MATES pies at Hyvee's frozen food section. Its marketed as handcrafted by…read moreAustralian artisan bakers from a 100 year old recipe. My boyfriend bought the 14-hour braised steak (rich peppercorn reduction & balsamic infused caramelized onions). We both wanted to try it so we split it in half and the half portion was plenty filling for each of us AND it was absolutely delicious! When I found out it was a local brand I had to go to Hyvee to try the other flavors. So far the other flavor I've tried is the Chicken Sun dried & cherry tomatoes in a basil béchamel. It was so good! I started with a half portion but it was so good I ate the other in the same sitting. That was a mistake on my part because I was too full eating the whole thing! The pie may seem small but it is plenty filling for two meals. The nutrition facts on the back are based on a half serving and at half size the caloric intake is over 400 calories. But it's to be expected because these things are so good! I can't wait to try the other different flavors I bought of PIE MATES from Hyvee.

Stop 2 of our daddy daughter afternoon. Dessert and coffee!…read more Tucked away in Valley West Mall is European Taste. This shop has been on my list for a while, but every time I seem to get to VWM is on Mondays. The only day European Taste is closed. That's my luck... Lol It's a small space with three two person tables if you choose to dine-in. Which we did... It's order and pay at the counter. The majority of the food items are handed to you upon ordering and they bring the drinks to your table when they are done being prepared. The menu board is easy to navigate and the desserts are showcased right up front in a glass refrigerated case. Straws, spoons, lids, etc. are at a station to your Left as you face the front counter. The owner (Alina) helped us today and you couldn't ask for better customer service! Very personable. I really enjoyed our conversation! She let me know most items are prepared fresh and a few of the specialty items come in through other local sources and/or a distributor. We ordered the following: 2x Tiramisu cake 1x Chocolate macaron 1x Double latte with vanilla syrup with oat milk (hot) 1x Blended chai; iced with vanilla syrup Everything was fantastic and I know I'm going to be back! My daughter is a Starbucks girl and she said the chai was sooo much better here... At almost half the price! Besides the tiramisu cake they offer a tiramisu cupcake... If you zoom in on the picture of the tiramisu cupcake you will note the included extra shot of espresso poised in the tube to be released into the pastry... I have to try that! Not a lot of businesses are thriving in Valley West Mall and I wish I'd made it here sooner. VWM doesn't have the food court of locally owned businesses that Merle Hay Mall has... Yet. But this place is worth the stop! It's literally a couple of storefronts inside the entrance by Blaze Pizza on the second level. Plenty of parking and easy to get to! Convenient to grab and go! If you haven't checked them out yet... Swing in and say hello! https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61559973381958 https://order.online/store/31914193?pickup=true...
