Edit - fast forward to a few years later and we chose Molly's to make our son's 1st birthday cake. It turned out fabulous and better than I even envisioned! I cannot recommend Molly's enough! === Molly’s made our wedding cake and dessert and they were such an amazing choice! The entire process was extremely easy, the tasting was so fun (I loved how everything was customizable) and the final design of the cake was exactly how we had envisioned it! Not to mention that they were extremely affordable. We had originally planned to have a 200+ wedding but due to the pandemic had to cut our numbers significantly. Molly’s were super easy to communicate with and I definitely appreciate that. Our wedding cake was peanut butter/Nutella flavored (yum!) and was so delicious and moist. We opted for a bunch of different mini-flavored cupcakes so our guests could choose their favorite flavors and honestly, they were all amazing, it’s hard to even choose my favorite. We had chocolate cupcakes with brown butter frosting, crème brulee, key lime pie, vanilla and an almond-flavored cupcake. They were even able to make a few GF cupcakes for my flower girl w/ Celiacs. I also love that they offer a free wedding cake on our 1st wedding anniversary so we won’t have to eat freezer-burned wedding cake. Can’t wait! Thanks Molly’s for making our night extra sweet!

Molly’s made us a beautiful wedding and delicious cake (and several dozen mini cupcakes) for our special day! Every dessert was exactly what we wanted. Our guests could not stop making pitstops for seconds (and thirds) at the dessert table — to the point where we were getting worried we may not have any leftovers to selfishly take home! ;) This shop doesn’t have a single less-than-heavenly flavor. The planning process was a cherry on top of the ordering process. From start to finish, Molly’s team was phenomenal to work with and I would definitely recommend them for your wedding baker and or any event that could benefit from some sweetness. From the bottom of our hearts with the utmost gratitude, THANK YOU for making our wedding day so special and one of the happiest days of our lives. We just can't stop saying how wonderful and memorable and over our wildest expectations it was. 🤍

Cute place. We went for scotcharoos which we'd heard were unique to Iowa. We initially bought two and sat in the swings at the counter, bonus! How creative! Scotcharoos we're fairly large so we decided to split one there and save one for later, but we liked them so much we bought two more for the road. Place has a story which you can read on back wall. Looks like they also offered build your own cupcakes...cool. free parking in the side lot. Only drawback from our quick visit was that they have these large slab countertops ,I believe the kind ideal for making fudge or other confections but a large section of them cluttered with paperwork, binders and other materials. Seemed a little unorganized. Don't let that keep you from trying their scotcharoos and other menu items though. Yummy!

Sugar junkie review so take that in account. Ordered for delivery for my business on a Saturday. Easy process to do online. Went with the filled variety pack so people could choose their own. Well I ended up eating 4 of them. Over 4 days time so don't be too hard on me. All 4 I had were 10 out of 10. So moist, gorgeous to look at, no skimping on filling or frosting. I am usually a chocoholic but my favorite was a lemon one with no frosting. Never would have known if I hadn't hidden it back for myself. Delivered at the time I chose, delivery charge of $5. Total for a dozen $39. There are less expensive options, I just had to have the filled ones. Cannot wait for another excuse to treat someone to these. Next time will try a different goody. Yummy.

Had cupcakes and wedding cake ordered and delivered to my venue. They looked absolutely amazing! They delivered on time, they set everything up on the platters for me, and they looked absolutely stunning! Molly‘s cupcakes is very affordable as well and I loved how they worked with me to get exactly what we wanted for our wedding day! The staff is very polite, and very understanding. I had accidentally come through my taste testing at the wrong time and came an hour late. But they still took me in and took the time to set me and my fiancé down and do our tasting and worked with us even when it was busy and we had missed our time slot. I would definitely recommend them for any event as well as just for fun!

A search of the best Scotcheroos in the Des Moines area led us to Molly's and we were not disappointed! We arrived on a Saturday evening about an hour or so until close, and they still have a such a great selection. The cupcakes looked absolutely divine! We were graciously offered a sample of their scotcheroo and of course it was delicious. We ended up getting a scotcheroo, 4 large cupcakes, and a mini. Throughout the next couple days we tried each cupcake and they were seriously some of the best cupcakes we've tried anywhere! And the scotcheroo was just as amazing! We cannot wait to come back here and try more flavors of cupcakes and to get another scotcheroo. Such a great bakery!!
