You wont find a better bakery in the entire Des Moines area. The cakes are even better than at HyVee (which we all know are wonderful). The cakes have a cream filling which is light and creamy, but not too sugary or rich. The frosting on the outside is not too rich or overly sugary either, but is more so than the filling. So delectable!!!! There are cakes of every flavor imaginable (pink champagne, chocolate raspberry, french vanilla, coconut cream, red velvet, etc, etc). There are lemon cookies that melt in your mouth, and my husbands favorite, chocolate dipped macaroons! Yummy!!! The man who owns this bakery is extremely friendly and loves what he does. I have already ordered two birthday cakes from him and they both received rave reviews from guests! If you buy anything from him you can be assured that you will LOVE it and so will everyone else!!! ******************************************************************************************* I want to note that because it is still a very new bakery, he only accepts CASH or CHECK at this time. *******************************************************************************************

Worst Service and lack of business ethics We were loyal customers and have been ordering cakes for more than 10 years now. We have always taken all our friends who were not from this area to taste his delicious mini cakes. We decided to stop going there after an incident a couple of months ago. Vincents customer service has always be average. But, we continued to go there because of the quality and to support a local business. But, I recently tried to use a gift card (approx value 100$) from his store and he blatently declined to accept it. He indicated that he no longer accepts his own gift cards. When we got the gift card he had stated that there was no expiration for it. When I questioned him about the lack of expiration date in his gift card, he said that he just does not accept it anymore and told me to go complain to whoever I want to. I wanted to let all his loyal customers know of his lack of business ethics.

Vincente made 8" rounds for centerpieces at our wedding. Topped with fresh local fall flowers, they were not only beautiful, but made our guest socialize and enjoy themselves as they went to each table to try all of his amazing flavors. We had amazing food, an amazing venue, but people keep talking about the cake! Plus, we saved SO much money by not having to buy big floral centerpieces; the cake was beautiful enough! Only drawback is no delivery, but it was worth the hassle for us to have someone pick them up. Also, my husband and I are cooks, and were impressed with the way Vincente keeps his small kitchen impeccable. If you havent tried it, youre missing out!!

Let me tell you about this place.... Let them eat cake has the best cakes in WDM! I order a specialty cake for my girlfriend with three days in advance. I ask for a theme since she loves dinosaurs. They went over beyond of what I was expecting. This cake fed more hen 20 people and we still had leftovers. The cake was nice and moist and not dry like other places. The frosting was nice and fluffy like nothing Ive had before. Not too sweet but great flavor. This is the second time I order a cake from here. I will be coming back for more. They also offer small personal so you can try any flavors. Thank you Let them eat cake for making my girlfriends birthday special.

I got my wedding cake (alternating lemon and white), three birthday cakes (chocolate with white frosting, champaine, coconut), Baby shower (chocolate mocha, my fav), and my friends wedding cake (white with almond cream). This is by far the best cake i have ever had. It is moist with out being wet like glorious cakes, also in dsm and the frosting isnt gritty. I have only had the butter cream because why mess with the best :) The chocolate mocha is the ebst so far but i love the lemon too. Prices are better then hyvee and walmart!!!! He is also at the valley junction farmers market on thursdays so go check him out!!!!

There are no words to describe the exquisite taste of this cake. I was not a cake person, but I am now. My Mom picked up this cake for my sons eighteenth birthday (white chocolate) and he and his friends fought over the last piece. We all found ourselves craving it. I do not know what is in it, but we will never buy cake anywhere else again. We will make the trip from Ames with no qualms. You must try this to believe it. The smell alone will trap you before you taste it and then you are a goner. Cannot wait til the next cake which may be sooner than the next birthday!

Refused service to me, we just wanted a very simple two tier cake for our wedding however when I stated that we were doing the sheet cakes on our own Vincent said he would only make a cake if other desserts werent brought in. We are paying for the wedding ourselves its hard enough to stay in budget without businesses trying to monopolize what you will do with your wedding/dessert table. Im sure the cakes are good but the service on my end was not.

We were beyond thrilled with out gorgeous cake! We did chocolate mocha and coconut and both were big crowd pleasers! All I had to do was show the talented baker a picture of something I liked and he created something even better! 10/10 would recommend. He even makes a small anniversary cake for the couples one year!

My husband came home with a box of treats to sample the other day. WOW! They were soooo tasty. The cream puff was THE best I have ever had. The cream inside was delicious, but not too rich that you didnt want to eat the whole thing. I would say check them out! They are taking credit/debit cards now!

I absolutely love everything about this bakery... Vincente is great to work with, I trusted him completely to make my wedding cake delicious and beautiful! Try the white chocolate cake with buttercream frosting if you get the chance but everything there is amazing!!!

The cake is great, I mean absolutely delicious. Im always greeted very nicely, my first time there I was even given a sample cake for free. We go here any time we need a cake for a special occasion. I would recommend this bakery over any other.

The cake was an 8 inch round, decorated very well for my wifes birthday. He was able to make it on short notice (48 hours). He was attentive to my needs and helped me make some decisions. Cake was fabulous and didnt last very long.
