Love Molly's! Worked with our budget and our cake and cheesecake bites for our guests looked great and tasted even better.
Delicious, professional, excellent.
We hired Molly's Cupcakes to do our wedding. We got a cutting cake and a cupcake display which were a massive hit. We went with the non-filled cupcakes to reduce mess and we got so many compliments on the cupcakes.
We had contracted them early on, and the day of we were not involved in set up at all. It's like the display appeared as though magic -- very delicious magic.
Our cake and cupcakes turned out perfectly!!!! We received so many compliments on the cupcakes, we had people eating 4-5 cupcakes at a time!!!!
AMAZING job my Mollys cupcakes! I asked for a vintage Inspired wedding cake and they absolutely nailed it. It was so beautiful and I had so many compliments on the cupcakes as well.
We used Molly's Cupcakes for our wedding, and my husband and I could barely get a cupcake because they were going so quickly!! We did a (free!) tasting through them and were amazed by their range of flavors, including gluten free and vegan cupcakes for our guests who needed those. Each cupcake was beautiful, and our wedding cake was phenomenal as well - if you want a vendor who is communicative, helpful in answering lots of questions, and incredibly fairly priced, scroll no further!

We had a small cake and cupcakes for our wedding and they were delicious! The cake was beautiful and they were able to work with me when we had to change the pickup time last minute.
The Molly's team made sure our cake and cupcakes were amazing for our wedding day. Guests have not stop talking about how much they loved them! Great communication, prompt delivery, highly recommend.
We had a great experience with Molly's Cupcakes! We cut it a little close booking our dessert about a month before our big day but thankfully Molly's had availability and was able to accommodate us! I picked up a tasting kit to take home and sent photos of what I wanted for our cutting cake and everything turned out PERFECTLY. It is now after Christmas and our relatives are still complimenting us on how good the dessert was at our wedding!!
We ordered roughly 300 cupcakes and a small accent cake through Molly's. They delivered and set up for us; our venue was literally in the same hallway of the same building so it was a very convenient option. There was a small fee to have them set up on the displays we bought but definitely worth it; it looked great! The cupcakes and cake were delicious. I wasn't so fond of the way my small accent cake turned out. We chose a red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting that would have sort of an ombre effect with edible pearls. The pearls weren't that cute and they weren't spaced like I'd imagined. & then the frosting on the cake was really thick. It wasn't that big of a deal because the cake was inexpensive & just for us to cut & the guests didn't have any.
When we went for our cake tasting, the person assisting us was not super friendly and didn't really give us any direction. It was one of the more awkward experiences we had with a vendor & it was one of our first wedding planning events as a couple so that made me kind of sad.. not that big of a deal though.
The pricing was average, but I think we would've gone with something a bit cheaper if it hadn't been a convenient/ obvious choice based on location.
Delicious!!!! Molly's cakes were simply delicious. They executed our vision of flavors and looks perfectly. They delivered to our location. We never had to worry about the cakes. They were great!!!
We loved our cake and mini-cupcakes from Molly's! Everybody loved them! We loved that Molly's could accommodate our guests with Celiacs and dairy/egg allergies. Our wedding cake was beautiful and exactly what we wanted! We are excited for our 1st anniversary when Molly's will provide us with a fresh cake - no freezer burn for us!
We ordered a three-tier wedding cake and several mini cupcakes. The cake décor was everything I pictured and more! All of our guests can’t stop talking about how delicious the cake and cupcakes were. Molly’s team was great to work with. They were quick to answer questions and were able to do the cake design we wanted. I would 10/10 recommend Molly’s Cupcakes for any event!
Molly's was super helpful and affordable. The tasting process was fun and easy (even during COVID). They helped lead us in the right direction for amount, size, etc. Molly's came and set up our cupcakes prior to the event and it looked beautiful. Our guests were OBSESSED! 10/10 recommend.
Molly’s was delicious and exceeded our expectations! They were so helpful and worked with us on every detail. Thanks, Molly’s!
First and foremost, Molly's Cupcakes is the best bakery in Des Moines. I fell in love with Molly's a few years ago after trying it at a friend's wedding, so of course, we had to hire them for our own. From the initial phone call/tasting, the customer service has been outstanding. There were so many flavors we were interested in having, however, they helped us decide a good range of flavors suitable for all guests. Molly's went above and beyond by making sure some of our cupcakes were made separately from the others to accommodate our gluten free/vegan guests. They were able to bake and package them in a separate box, as well as still being able to display them in a pretty way. We received so many compliments about how good the cupcakes were. We enjoyed eating the few leftovers we had :) Also, we did not have to freeze our wedding cake because they will make a new one for you on your one year wedding anniversary- such a thoughtful touch. I cannot recommend Molly's Cupcakes enough! We enjoy going there very frequently as well! :)
Molly’s did the tiered cake and sheet cakes for our wedding, and everything was amazing from start to finish! The tasting process was fun and easy, they were more than willing to make the design we wanted even though it wasn’t in their sample book, and everything turned out gorgeous and delicious. Everyone raved about how good the cake at our wedding was, even people who don’t usually like cake. We’ve even been told it was the best cake someone ever had! Cannot recommend enough. My mom and the groom’s sister are gluten free, and we were able to get a gluten free sheet cake for them and other guests that they loved! We love stopping in for a cupcake from time to time, too!
We ordered a two-tier cake for our wedding. It was delicious! The cake was so moist that the caterer actually had trouble cutting it! They were easy to work with and we were grateful they did not charge for the tasting.
Courtney was great to work with from our initial tasting through our wedding day! We really appreciated her flexibility in delivering and setting up our cupcakes during dinner service at our reception - other vendors we consulted with were unwilling to deliver in the evening and would have required our desserts to be set up hours before our wedding started. Our guests raved about the cupcakes and we were very happy with the customer service!
Molly's had the best flavors and selection in the area for sure. We got a lot of compliments about how good the cake was, and the cupcakes even held up for a week after the wedding as we ate some of the leftovers. The big seller for me was not having to freeze wedding cake and having a whole new one made for our one year anniversary. Such a unique, thoughtful touch. We paid for delivery and set up, which wasn't much extra, and they made our cake table look awesome.
If you have a reception at The Iowa Taproom, you have to get Molly’s! No delivery fee because they are right next door and the dessert table was super cute after their set up. We got 5 flavors, but should have just done 4 like Courtney (wedding coordinator) recommended. Cupcakes were delicious as always and we got so many compliments! We didn’t do a cake, but they are beautiful and creative at Molly’s.
The guests LOVED the mini cupcakes Molly's provided for our wedding and we did too! The complimentary taste testing and set up process was a walk in the park. They even delivered to our venue and have offered to make us a cake on our one year anniversary. Thank you again for all you do!
Molly's was just wonderful to work with for our wedding. The cupcakes are amazing and everyone told us how delicious they were. For our wedding cake they did a perfect job with the small lemon raspberry for my husband and I. They delivered and set up as well which made the day even easier for us! We would absolutely hire them again and still love going in to get a cupcake every now and then! :)
Molly's was absolutely wonderful to work with. Our guests loved all of the options of cupcakes and cookies, and all of them are so, so good. They were very organized, professional, and timely. They did an amazing job delivering and setting up the cakes where we wanted them at the venue, and they look stunning! Our guests have not stopped talking about Molly's, and many of them stopped in the shop the next day to take some home with them. You can't go wrong with Molly's Cupcakes for your big day!
best desserts ever!! they helped us Invision our dessert table and even looked into new options for us! the cake was flawless and absolutely amazing!
Molly's was amazing to work with, right from the beginning. We got the mini filled cupcakes, and paid for the delivery and set-up. We accounted for 2.5 minis per person, and many people tried a few flavors. They looked beautiful, and tasted amazing. Our guests are still asking us where the cupcakes came from! Couldn't have been easier or more special for our wedding.
Molly's should be your first stop when looking for a wedding cake. It's delicious cake at a great price, and they did a great job with the design I wanted. I wanted textured frosting and some fresh flowers on the cake, so they said to just leave some flowers on the table where the cake would be at the venue and they would do the rest! They did a great job and it was a very easy and smooth process!
When I was ordering cake they actually stopped me from ordering too much cake which saved us a lot of leftovers! We still had about a sheet-cake leftover and I can't imagine what would have happened if they had let me go through with my original order! They are so professional and honest and definitely recommend getting some delicious cake from Molly's!
Molly's is amazing. They are professional, easy to work with, responds promptly, and their cupcakes are delicious. I found myself at the store several times before the wedding, not to plan, just because they have good cake and service.
Molly's was so easy to work with and their cupcakes are amazing! We ordered enough for everyone to get one and I would definitely recommend ordering more because everyone LOVED them SO much! My uncles even went to the shop directly with the week of the wedding because they couldn't get enough ;)
Courtney was so great and gave great recommendations and I just trust her to make everything perfect!
Our wedding cake was delicious and they replicated a picture exactly as I wanted it! I was surprised to learn Molly's makes wedding cakes, but I'm so glad they do! Definitely a great, affordable, reliable option for your big day.
For our reception dessert we had a simple six-inch cake with a fake (but decorated) base and an array of miniature cupcakes.
Molly's cupcakes are so rich and delicious that having a variety of flavors was enough to delight and satisfy our guests ( we had 5 leftover total!) and the simple cake we requested was perfect and very tasty. All at a very reasonable price to fit any size crowd
We're customers for life. We booked Molly's Cupcakes Des Moines for our August wedding. We had a unique vision -- dozens of cakes, pies, cookies, and bars for centerpieces -- and Courtney and her staff exceeded expectations! Courtney's professionalism, organization, and top-knotch service from beginning to end allowed us to trust them completely with a very large order and enjoy our wedding day. Our guests were so impressed with the beautiful cakes, pies, cookies, and bars! They looked like works of art, but we're also still receiving compliments about how incredible they tasted. The best part? It was completely affordable. We'll be buying cake from Molly's on our anniversary every year, and we hope you stop in and try them, too.
Our cupcakes were absolutely amazing! Everyone loved them and they looked beautiful!
