I have ordered custom cookies, cake pops and a cake from this licensed home bakery and was blown…read moreaway each time. Not only did the baker create works of art, they were as delicious as they were beautiful. It was super easy to order, too. I found her on Instagram and sent a message about my niece's 4th birthday. She asked some questions and I sent her a photo of the mermaid doll I was gifting my niece. I chose the quantity and flavors and she took it from there. Cookies were vanilla, cake pops were caramel. The cake was ordered a few weeks later and was lemon flavored with a cream cheese buttercream frosting and it tasted like a cakey cheesecake and all items were delicious. I also got a sample of various flavors and those were all very good, too. My family and I had different favorites. I loved the caramel and chocolate options, my daughter liked the funfetti and vanilla. I recommend you follow them on Instagram or Facebook (@euphoriacakesdsm) and order a sample of flavors or order what you know you like and tell the baker as much as you can about the event and person you are celebrating and let her use her creativity. For the cake, I told her that the person loved bright colors, flowers, birds and nature and the cake was more beautiful than I imagined and the attention to detail (she looked up native birds and chose one and told me about the bird when I picked up the cake)! Bonus: the bird was edible, which was pretty cool! If you're looking for a unique cake, created with care and impeccable attention to detail, definitely go with Euphoria Cakes in West Des Moines!
