Reviews of Molly's Cupcakes

Rachelle Walter

Best cupcakes hands down!!! We have ordered a couple of times and we are always impressed. Today we had cupcakes delivered for our 5 year old son’s birthday and he was so excited for his birthday cupcake. Highly recommend!

Rachel Frazier

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!

Emi Soupene-Mulligan

Molly's Cupcakes made a three tier vegan cake at my wedding and 6 dozen cupcakes. They were all delicious and so pretty. Molly's to be easy to work with, reasonably priced, and professional, perfect for any event.

Ellen Paullin

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.

Samantha Gardner

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. We love stopping in for a cupcake from time to time, too!

Halla Lester

Absolutely delectable. If you have a sweet tooth this is the place for you. Everything is absolutely delicious as well as beautifully decorated. The employee and sweetness extraordinaire were absolutely amazing. So kind and friendly. We usually stop in after crazy photoshoots and they never disappoint.

Marc-Grégor Campredon

Those are wonderful freshly baked and prepared cupcake. The divers flavor are full of taste. The location is very cute and unique, such a gem in the heart of Des moines. The price is fair for that type of food. Staff is super kind and helpful. Those are calories you will enjoy.

Courtney Ryan

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!

lisa marsh

Stopped in for gluten free cupcakes for a family outing to celebrate a birthday. They had several options, which was wonderful since 4 out of 7 of us have gluten restrictions for health reasons. The staff was super helpful and the cupcakes were truly delicious. But heads up, they are pricey. But it's a great stop for a special treat.

Emily Harter

Molly’s is so amazing that I decided to have their cupcakes at my wedding! Some of the best cupcakes I have ever had- LOVE the creme brulee, boston cream, key lime, and i do wedding flavors the best! Can’t wait to try even more. Highly recommend to anyone with a sweet tooth.

Nicole Smith

Amazing service. Fabulous cupcakes. We all enjoyed our cupcakes and coffee

Erin Minor

Wonderful cupcakes. I especially love the top of the cakes, which are just the perfect amount of chewy. In my experience they are always moist and delicious, but they are very rich, so I don't recommend going for more than one at a time unless you've got a real sweet tooth. I also really enjoy the variety of flavors outside the traditional "chocolate" or "vanilla."

Andy Grosenbach

My spouse and I used Molly's Cupcakes for our wedding. We had a small traditional wedding cake, an assortment of mini cupcakes, and mini pies. How were these amazing desserts you ask? Let's just say I think we had two mini pies and two mini cupcakes leftover - they were amazing! The staff at Molly's is great to work with and they setup an a beautiful display at our venue. We would highly recommend using Molly's for your next celebration (or just need something amazing to satisfy your sweet tooth).

Desiree Miklus

The cookies and cream cupcake was delicious, moist, and flavorful. Frosting was also delicious. I didn't care for the dark chocolate on it.

Kathy Dewald

We had Molly's cupcakes for my daughter's wedding. Everyone commented how delicious they were! Very easy to work with owners/staff to discuss orders and plans. Would highly recommend.

stephanie deaton

Best Cupcakes as well as cakes. I ordered one for my daughter birthday. She loved it, very difficult design. Peach cobbler #1

Tiffany

I popped In here with my family before dropping them off at the tap room next door. My husband and I are vegan so we assumed it would just be my family getting cupcakes. But to my surprise they actually had vegan options. I was so happy when I saw that! They only have two flavors for the cake part, chocolate or vanilla. And I think 3 frosting flavors, peanut butter, chocolate, vanilla. We got the vanilla base with chocolate frosting and it was SO good. The cake was moist and fluffy and the frosting not too sweet. They have a lot of other fancier options for non vegans like s’mores, crème brûlée etc. but I was just happy to be included in the cupcake eating. Thank you for having vegan options!

Jessica Giller

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!

Valerie Lillibridge

Gonna give this place 5 stars, even though personally I never have tried the cupcakes, but I have delivered for them at least a few times. They are super friendly, thank you for treating this delivery driver with respect to give right back!

Tara Derrick

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.

Afton Karns

Huge shout out to Molly's Cupcakes. Last week i got a call saying that because we got our wedding cupcakes through them, that they offer anniversary cakes free of charge! How awesome is that!? We just picked up our cakes and holy moly. This thing is huge and FREE. Our cupcakes were amazing for our wedding and now this...hands down 10 star business!! Can't wait to indulge in this with the hubby tonight. 🧁❤ we aren't celebrating our wedding anniversary with anything special, but this sure made my whole day. Thanks again, Molly's Cupcakes!!

Andy Nizzi

Hands down my favorite spot in the area to get cupcakes or order a cake. Always moist cake with a nice balance of frosting/topping that never over powers the whole ensemble. Great selection of unique and classic flavors to choose from as well as options for vegan. Do yourself a favor and stop in for a lil treat...or a dozen.

Ve'lay “Buttafli” Me'nette

I was so excited to be there. The sweet art is delicious. I was very surprised by the filling. Wow!! It's a must you treat yourself or someone special. I will be stopping back in😋🦋 …

Brittany Roseke

We always love to ride our bikes to Molly’s for a delicious cupcake. There are always a variety of cupcakes to choose from including build your own!

Matthew Brown

It's the perfect place to stop for a unique and delicious cupcake paired with a decent cup of coffee just before hitting the shops in East Village.

Nikki S

These guys are the best cupcakes out there in Des Moines. Worth every penny for your tummy. I’m usually not a great cheesecake fan but I’m a huge fan of their cherry cheesecake. I love those amazing mini cup cakes that they sell during weekends. I once happened to try out 9 flavours of minis and all were so fresh and so yummy. I wish they always had variety of minis available. Molly’s cup cakes has now become a gift that I give my friends often when I visit them and everyone loves them.

Ian Griffith

Atmosphere is great, nice unique look and feel. Yet familiar. Cupcakes were really good. We had the peanut butter Nutella and the smores. See photos. They even have a few board games and a sprinkles bar.

Tobra Havens

Absolutely amazing!! We pick a dozen of cupcakes and each one was hands down the best we've had! Not only were they moist they were flavorful. The filling was tasty and many options for frosting. These are a MUST try! One of our daughters has celiac disease and can not have gluten. They offered several gluten free options and had a special frosting just for her. She was amazed with the cupcakes as well. She too said they were the BEST! Well be back!

April Backous

Great selection of flavors! I love the texture of the cake, the wide variety of flavors, and the light airy frosting. The swings at the counter make the atmosphere of this place really fun. Always friendly service as well.

Kristie Cobra

You come into this beautiful atmosphere, with fun music like "Good golly miss Molly" playing and it just fun. Then you take in their details like huge countertops with swings hanging from the ceiling! Eat at the counter or sit at their tables that looked a lot like old school desks with a groove for your pencils. The treats are what set them apart from any other shops I visited though. I will forever recommend the lemon and raspberry cupcake that has the sweet/tart flavor. My Mum's favorite was the crumbly pumpkin cheesecake (yum)!

Stephanie de Palacios

Let me express myself a little, I got some cupcakes from this store, and I'm thrilled!! They're so delicious, I got them randomly because they have so many options, I didn't know the names exactly, I love the style of the store and the swings are legit!! Please stop by for a coffee and a cupcake, I will definitely go back, customer service was not that great, and I'm a little picky about that but I ignore it at the end, because if I decided to go back that means a lot!

Joan Schettler

The cake and cupcakes were beautiful and delicious! All the guests raved about them. You will not regret booking Molly's Cupcakes for your wedding! Highly recommend.

Stephanie Leugers

OMG these cupcakes are the BEST ever!! Literally melts in ur mouth. Very light and fluffy! And icing is not heavy and massively sweet. It’s just perfect. Already wanting another one !!

Kyle Johnson

I love sugar, so it's not difficult to make me happy with baked goods, but Molly's has the best cupcakes in the area. Most of their cupcakes have a delicious filling in the center, and they're always rotating through different flavors. Their bars and cookies are also fantastic!

Jackie Juarez Fuentes

I went to Molly’s cupcakes because I was having an itch for sweet cravings. I was coming from Minnesota and passed through Iowa and I just had to look for a place that sold cupcakes and I can across this place. I ordered three cupcakes, chocolate decadence, peach cobbler and crème brûlée. I’ve got to say I tried the peach cobbler first and wow I was really impressed with how all the flavors melted in my mouth. If you’re a big fan of peach I’d say this is the right pick. The crème brûlée was also delicious, I loved the caramelized top of the cupcake that gave the cupcake texture by having a bit of crunch, and the inside of the cupcake was filled with some sort of custard and combined it was just heaven. The chocolate decadence was pretty good too, my husband had that one and he loves chocolate, I tried a little of it and for me personally it was delicious but too chocolatey for my liking. But hey if you’re a chocolate lover I’d say give this one a try. All in all I give this place a 4/5, only reason it’s not a 5 is because I had trouble finding parking for this place which bummed me out a bit.

Joann Tucker

13 of us went to decorate cupcakes, share some wine and cheese (they let us bring in), and chat. It was lovely. The owner made it look so easy to do, and we all left with our own little cupcake masterpiece!

Tori

GREAT! I honestly think the best thing they do is the vanilla cupcake with brown butter frosting. The filled cupcakes look awesome too, but I like to keep it simple.

Haley Stork

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. 🤍

Kaylah Hicok

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!

PIEL _CANELA

Great experience at this delicious place super fresh cup cakes and great coffee the person who served us was excellent very good costumer service thank you.

Delise Lockett

We asked Abby to make a unique cake customized to our specific desires for the design of the cake for my mother's 60th birthday. I live out of state and she was very helpful and patient working with myself and my twin sister via both email and phone calls. My mother loves the cake. Thank you Abby and your team.

Meghan Stickfort

Super appreciate their gluten free and vegan options! The staff is always welcoming and helpful.

Justin Lutz

Delicious cupcakes and helpful employees! The Lemon cupcake was amazing! The blueberry cheesecake was fantastically moist and every bite was delightful!

Badih

Not having leftovers is usually a great thing! We had Molly’s Cupcakes cater mini cupcakes and our wedding cake for our special day. We heard nothing but great things from our guests, and the “mini” made everyone have a chance to try multiple flavors. 10/10 would recommend!

Gabriella LeFevre

Modern, yet casual atmosphere Pros: -Delicious -Quality icing -Swing bar -Open late -Sustainable (dishes, flatware, and sprinkle jars) -Frindly staff -Vegan options Cons: -Limited parking -Stairs slippery when wet

Beautifully Blessed

The selection is marvelous !!!! The customer service is excellent and the cupcakes are the best I've had in a long time. Will definitely be back

Sierra McCarthy

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! :)

Cheryl Holt

Great atmosphere and large selection of amazing cupcakes plus a create your own option

Karey Wright Clemmons

There ok. I had cookies and cream which was good and the lemon one was excellent but the strawberry shortcake one and birthday cake one was just ok.

Kassandra Rodriguez

Great cupcake shop! The service is fast and friendly everytime we go. There is a good variety of cupcakes, ice cream and beverages. We love sitting on the swings and playing a board games.

Dayane Tristao

the location is perfect and the service wonderful! The cupcake is surreal for good.

Samantha Hogan

Molly's cupcakes never disappoint! our kids love the swings and it's a family favorite after the science center or the botanical center! A special way to end your day with your kiddos!

Stacie Williams

Really good until we got to the cake batter in the middle. It appeared to be melted and tasted really bad. The rest are on point🧁 …

Jesse Oliver

The perfect comfort dessert. Not only that. They have the most scrumptious gluten free cup cakes. I can't believe it's gluten free. There Magical delicious!! (Cupcake on plate was not GF) but was equally amazing. Comfirmed by partner.

Snoberry

Sorry but Scratch Cupcakery in West Des Moines is so much better, and their cupcakes are a dollar less *and* bigger. Had a lemon cupcake and a "crispy coconut" cupcake. The lemon smelled nice but had very little flavor. It tasted more like a vanilla cupcake that someone had suggested lemon to. The crispy coconut was just too much. Like it was trying to be a Girlscout Samoa cookie but got confused along the way.

Gail Erickson

The cupcakes are fantastic! Love all the different flavors. Very friendly staff a must to visit! I will be back for sure!

Olive

These cupcakes are perfectly moist. The Ron Bennington is my favorite - give it a try!

Jody Scheppmann

I got the chocolate exclaim . Omg...sooooo good! My.granddaughter got the strawberry.shortcake and a.cookies and cream..both.delicious! They.were very busy when we went in but none of the staff seemed rushed or.frazzled..very friendly and happy staff! We will be back

Kam K

Great place. I always feel bad for parking in a spot I'm not suppose to, but there's never anywhere to park.

Ildiko G T

Love this place because of the story behind it and because of the availability of vegan cupcakes. This is my go to place for vegan mini cupcakes for my daughter's birthday, she can take them to preschool to share with friends. (Nut free option available) They can also create beautiful unicorn cupcakes and they even have center filled vegan cookies and cream cupcakes on weekends. Delicious! They are happy to work with you to create custom cakes. Oh, and the cupcake decorating kits are great!!!

Morgan Eilers

Molly’s catered our wedding this past Saturday and it was SO GOOD! We had so many compliments. Extremely nice staff and catered to my gluten-free and dairy-free dietary restrictions with the wedding cake itself and the cupcakes. Highly recommend! Thanks Molly’s!

holly thayer-ellis

Favorite Cupcake Place EVER!!! I LOVE THE SEATING! The employees are always very nice.

J Fliss

Best cup cakes in town. So many good variations. One is never enough, gotta get the 6 pack and enjoy yourself.

Victoria Bueno

I LOVE this place! I first discovered Molly's cupcakes when I was in Iowa City and later were so happy to find out there was another one in Des Moines. All other cupcakes are amazing and their ice cream is fantastic also. Highly recommend.

Mickala Elwell

Cupcakes are always delicious! They pay a lot of attention to detail when crafting their cupcakes. The only reason I'm not giving them a 5-star because you still can't eat inside. I miss the days of sitting with your family enjoying cupcakes and playing board games there. Pre pandemic it was one of our favorite spots to go to for a treat!

Wonderwall Wanderlust

Ok... Yeah... So I'm not sure I can truly convey with the written word how great the cupcakes are here... Think of a holding the cutest puppy ever while hanging with your best friend over drinks at an outdoor patio while the weather is gorgeous and every person who passes by tells you your hair is on point... Take that times infinity... Now you are halfway to the quality of the cupcakes here. Do yourself a favor and just go there and get several. Come on...

Margaret Kessler

My daughter brought me 6 of these FANTASTIC cupcakes they were so moist unbelievable how good they were, peach, carrotcake and vanilla. I will be visiting the shop soon.

Barbara Elledge

I bought the "chocolate lovers" one dozen for my husband's birthday. Everyone loved them. I definitely will be ordering more. There so so so delicious!!!!

Bonnie Alley

Not bad. Quick to order and pick up. Frosting is great the perfect sweetness. Cakes are a lil on the dry side.

Rene Heglin

This place is hands down the best. They are such high quality. They also last for a long time in the fridge. All the staff are lovely!! We had a gal with yellow colored hair and she was so so sooo nice!!

Connie Grinstead

A co-worker brought a chocolate raspberry 3 layer cake for a birthday-not only was it beautiful but it was the best cake I have ever had. Would highly recommend her cakes.

Mike Delaney

Cupcakes were good, but when I asked for the gluten free then the young lady never changed her gloves. She used the same gloves she was Usain when handling the gluten cupcakes. My girlfriend has celiacs so she could not eat any of the cupcakes due to cross contamination.

Amy Soupene

Molly's provided the sweet treats for my daughter's wedding. We needed a selection of GF and Vegan cupcakes for the event and Molly's did a fantastic job! Everything was beautiful and yummy!

Sherry Farnham

Wedding cake and cupcakes ...setup, etc was amazing! Great staff, delicious products, beautiful story behind the business! 💜 …

Lily Allen-Duenas

Molly's Cupcakes in DSM and in Iowa City will always have a sweet spot in my heart. Their cupcakes are so charming and perfectly made! Grateful that they have gluten free and vegan options too! Love that they always have board games on hand if you feel up for a game with friends while munching on their sweet treats!

Brittany Kathleen

Everyone i know that’s had the vegan cupcakes (+me) all agrees that the vegan cupcakes are WAY better than the regular cupcakes. The cake is just BETTER. But there’s only vanilla and chocolate icing. PLEASE make more flavors!

Chuck Henry- Walker

Friendly cheerful atmosphere. Cupcakes very flavorful. I enjoyed the rainbow sherbet cupcake.

Min Johnson

Best cupcakes in town ! Perfect crumb and not heavy frosting. We tried 4 flavors and everyone was extremely happy. Highly recommend.

Gris Rojas

I Ordered my daughters birthday cake from here and we loved it! it was so yummy.My family and i loved it so much! We actually ordered another cake for a different event a week later and i know my sister in law loved their cakes that she ended up ordering her cake from here for her baby shower this weekend cant waut! Hands down BEST place to get cakes and cupcakes! This will be my go to place! definitely recommend them!

Corinne Nash

Staff were great, the cupcakes were amazing. Needed a dozen cupcakes on short notice on a Sunday and I was able to stop in get the cupcakes and be back to the party all within 25 minutes. I would highly recommend the chocolate lover's dozen although they are the only ones we have gotten so far.

Austin Veal

We had intended on using Molly's for our wedding reception cake, but unfortunately we tried them 3 times and we found that the cake was quite bland and the frosting just didn't seem right. With that being said we were always treated respectfully at the counter, and the girls that got the cakes for us were very friendly and nice to work with. One recommendation I can make is to look at your Cream Cheese frosting, something hasn't been right on all 3 occasions we have tried it.

Dan Garza

I ordered a 9-in almond cake for my wife's birthday and it was absolutely fantastic! The service was very accommodating and helpful and I will continue to do business with them! This is the best cake I have ever eaten!!! Thank you so much!

Carolyn Reed

We used Molly's for our wedding this weekend and they were absolutely amazing!! We had order enough mini cupcakes that each of guests could have 2-4 each and by the end of the night, they had gobbled all of them up!! The cupcakes were not the only big hit –– our wedding cake was stunning and tasted delicious! Courtney was great to work with and made the process simple. :)

Sarah Garrison

I've never gotten a cupcake from Molly's I didn't like--absolutely delicious and creative combinations!

Brian Coy

Great cupcakes! So many flavors. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

K Barg

Clean store & have always had friendly customer service. There's a good variety of cupcakes, though they are more pricey than others in the metro. The location was convenient for me & I could stop in for a sweet treat during my work days. Now that I've moved out of state, I find myself missing Molly's when I get a craving.

C S

I ordered two vegan cupcakes, and they were yummy! Had chocolate cake + peanut butter icing and vanilla cake with chocolate icing. Very flavorful! The shop is cute--I especially liked the swings as counter seating. The staff member who helped me was friendly. Would stop back again.

Maddox Bago

The baked goods always taste fresh and delicious. They are cute and well made. Savory snacks are a tradition of my fiance's and mine after we've paid out Bill's each month and we know we can always trust Molly's to have fresh, delicious food. We are so thankful for their pricing as well. 5 dozen cupcakes for a wedding and we will barely break 100 dollars.

Agx290C

Omg! I had a birthday cake cupcake (the one with the blue frosting) My thoughts: amazing!!! The best cupcake I’ve had. Ever. The next week I had a cupcake that was like pecan pie themed: also amazing. I love the texture of the cake. The top of the cupcake has just a touch of crispness so it doesn’t get soggy from the frosting like most cupcakes. The flavor is on point, the frosting is light, whole dessert is great. I have never been so impressed with a cupcake!!!

Izzy Velez

Great cakes and cupcakes! My boyfriend is gluten intolerant and also a picky eater, but he LOVED Molly’s Cupcakes. I got to try both the GF and non GF cupcakes and they are both great! We’ve yet to try the vegan cupcakes, but it would be super rad if you guys could create a Gluten free AND vegan cupcake :) great job

Monica Flanery

I chose the rainbow sherbet cupcake and my friend had the peach cobbler, both are absolutely delightful! The frosting is light, fluffy and absolutely dreamy. The cake itself is moist and decadent, melts in your mouth. The filling is divine, even the garnish is mouth watering!! Easily the best cupcakes we've ever had! Highly recommend Molly's to satisfy your sweet tooth!!

OmfgMy namewontfi

My husband found this place online, and within 30 mins I had a vegan cupcake. Everything from their unique seating to the warm friendly smiles greeting you, ready to help you was on point. My cup cake was so good, I could have cried. You know that feeling you have when u just hugged a puppy, well, thats how I felt leaving that place. 👏👏👏👏👏 great place

Elizabeth Holland

We went through Molly's for our wedding cake. We got a three tier cake and half sheet cake for our guests. They did awesome. They were always professional and helpful. They were very responsive to email. The cake was amazing and delicious. They were a great value. I highly recommend.

Kevin Audas

We ordered cheese cake, and assorted mini cup cakes. Cheese cake was perfect, the carmel drizzle really had a homemade taste. Cupcakes were moist and full of flavor. Dangerous stuff!

Loni Pham

A great place to meet up with friends for a late evening sweet treat, or anytime of day, really. Staff there is always patient, friendly, and helpful whether it's full or if it's just you. The cupcakes are moist and delicious! The cheesecakes are also pretty yummy. Unfortunately, have not tried any of the cookies or other treats during my half dozen visits in the last couple of months. My favorites so far are the peach cobbler and creme brulee cupcakes.

Nicole Rains

Delicious, wonderful, always a pleasure coming here. Great date spot or just a place to get down on some amazing cupcakes! Seasonal treats, edible cookie dough and an amazing rotation of flavors!

Deanna Moore

Excellent cupcakes. Staff was very patient while we made our decisions. We picked up my daughter's friend for her early birthday present. This was totally spur of the moment! She will be 21 tomorrow. She had the blueberry cheesecake. Daughter had boston creme and I had peach cobbler. Yum!

Rebecca T.

I really appreciate that they have vegan options. They always have a chocolate and vanilla vegan cupcake with chocolate, vanilla, or peanut butter icing available and it sounds like they sometimes have a weekend special vegan cupcake. The more options, the better, as far as I am concerned but I have had both the vanilla and the chocolate cupcake and they were both excellent. Highly recommend if you are looking to satisfy a sweet tooth.

Kay Craite

We were totally blown away by this place! The cupcakes were all unique and very cute, and the home made ice cream was absolutely to die for! We had never been there before, and Taylor was very helpful and patient while we made a decision about what to get. Absolutely would recommend!!

Ksea Parker

Very clean bussiness, staff are friendly. Thier cupcakes are delicious, my favorite is the chocolate with or without chocolate frosting.

Paul Oyen

Is there a Sixth 🌟 Star rating?? Molly's Cupcakes has the most delicious, all in-store made cupcakes, and individual sized cheesecakes I've ever had. They also have cakes of any kind imaginable, including Gluten Free. Just two blocks South of Locust in the East side of Des Moines, Molly's Cupcakes is More than worth the small detour. If that's not enough, they're also now making Five or Six flavors of Home Made Ice Cream. Great for weddings, office parties, anniversaries, reunions or just for an individual treat, Molly's Cupcakes has something for everyone!

Nicole Fletcher

Can I just say I love, love, love this place! I was so excited to find a bakery that offers vegan and even better delicious vegan cupcakes! My family buys when I go in and have yet to find a cupcake they don't like. Try to eat in when you can it's so fun inside with a sprinkle bar and swings to sit in and eat!

Jac Geffert

I'm obsessed. We came for my boyfriend's birthday because we didn't want a full cake, and this was the most delightful substitute and immediately became a staple birthday tradition. The staff was super friendly and informative, the cupcakes were perfection - what else could you ask for? (Well, an "ugly cupcake" tray where the frosting got dinged and didn't look *perfect* so they were a dollar off. Dibs!)

Brian Bopp

Delightful! Superior product, service, decor, and whimsy made our stop at Molly's unforgettable! We happened in upon a birthday party in progress but that didn't hamper quick and courteous service. Our cupcakes (Creme Brulee & French Silk to go) were outstanding! We WILL return!

Kris Truan

Truly great cupcakes!! My daughter will tell you that I am pretty picky about cake in general and I am not much of a fan of cupcakes for the simple reason that the cake is often dry and tasteless and one must eat quantities of the frosting to get any flavor. Not so with Molly's! Their cake batter is like a moist sponge batter that has lovely flavor all on its own ( think rich, like eggs and vanilla) and perfectly supports the fillings and frostings. Yes, I said fillings! Every cupcake is filled with a core of amazingness! And it isn't frosting. It's a filling that complements the frosting. So you get three flavors in one place, which all work together to make a wonderful taste sensation! There went my diet! We tried six different cupcakes and all were just excellent! The decor in Molly's is quite original. Think industrial, plus fun, kid friendly and community gathering spot. There's a bar that goes around the front counter where you can sit on swings ( yes, fun swings!) and watch them fill and frost cupcakes. Tables, chairs and benches line the exposed brick walls of the old warehouse building and there is a stack of board games to encourage patrons to stay and play. Wonderful concept with fabulous cupcakes in exceptional flavors! Well done, Molly's! I'll be back!

Molly’s is a favorite of mine since discovering them during a visit at my bf’s in Des Moines. Every time I go, Cupcakes are on the agenda. I also have them delivered to him during special times I can’t be there. Our favorites are Creme Brûlée, French Apple and Peach. We’ve said if we ever get married, we’d have Molly’s make wedding cupcakes instead of having a traditional cake. They package them nicely and they keep well. They’re worth every penny.

Deven Poland-Starn

So much flavor! Delightful cupcakes from Molly's were easily the highlight of my day. Enjoyed a coffee with my Smores cupcake. It would seem as if they change out the flavors. I was told I need to try a banana split one, hopefully it's there the next time I go. There also appears to be homemade ice cream.

Sean B

The building and seating are nice, clean, and inviting. The cupcakes are good. Slightly more expensive than other places, but they are near the top in quality. There is still one place in town I prefer one Molly's, but I will definitely be back here!

G Garrison

Excellent cupcakes. The creme brulee, a regular, is my favorite. I also enjoy the Old Fashioned and German chocolate, seasonal flavors. The mini cheesecakes are also fantastic. Great service, and a fun seating area, which includes several swings at the counter.

Chad Groff

Amazing cupcakes!! Great selections.

Holly Konz

Every time I have gone to The Iow Tap Room molly’s Is closed but this Saturday we got to try them! The store is so cute, the staff was so great, we got two cupcakes to go and ate them after our dinner at the Iowa Tap room and they were so dry. The filling and frosting and toppings were amazing but the cake was very dry. Will stop again but not too hopeful.

Lee I

The vegan cupcakes here are fuggggggin amazing - I wish they'd add more of the fun flavors though! Presently, there is only chocolate or vanilla cakes, and 3 icing flavors (chocolate, vanilla and peanut butter). Don't get me wrong, they're wonderful! But I want some of the fun flavors... I can make a plain cupcake at home!

Nicole Hoffmann

Always delicious. Creme brulee cupcake is the best!

alex nolan

Great cupcakes. Top notch

Katherine Case

Amazing cupcakes, but more importantly, fantastic customer service! After a small mix up with a pickup order, the issue was resolved promptly and with much kindness! Highly recommend!

Liz Dickey

Love this place so much! I have been here several times and loved every different cupcake that I have tried. I just recently ordered a specialty cupcake in a very obscure design to which they readily agreed to do and the finished product was amazing! A must to visit when you are around/near the East Village!

Mike G

There are several excellent cupcake businesses in Des moines, but this one has my #1 vote. Not only are the cupcakes delicious, the small cheesecakes with your choice of toppings are my favorite. You can have chocolate syrup, carmel cherries or strawberries drizzle across the cheesecake. I opt for this 80% of the time over cupcakes. But the cup cakes are just as tasty. Creative combinations. You'll be back

Janis R Barr

Stopped in today, first visit. I had a mini Red Velvet. It was so good, loved the Buttercream frosting. My granddaughter had a Creme Brulee, she said it was really yummy. We definitely will be back.

Liezl R

Delicious. The cupcakes are fresh! unlike scratchcupcakery. The icing just melts in your mouth. The atmosphere is very relaxing, reminds of smokeyrow. It is a bit on the pricier side but it’s worth it.

Gail Olson

Parking area is awful. Cupcakes are good.

Josh Allison

The cupcakes were fantastic. I had the creme brulee and also tried the cookie monster and olde fashioned which each had delicious and appropriate fillings. My only complaint is that the cupcake wrapper sort of fused with one of the cakes and was a bit difficult to remove without ripping and leaving bits behind. A different type or a thicker wrapper would likely solve this, but with care removal was doable.

Jessie Zaruba

Charming cupcake shop with fun swing seats and a sprinkle station. Lots of natural light, so it's a great place to take selfies. Nice variety of cupcakes and coffee drinks. I have tried the cake batter and strawberry/champagne cupcakes - both have excellent filling and nice buttercream frosting.

John Johansen

Molly’s made our 34 year old disabled daughter’s birthday so GREAT! The delectable birthday cake cupcakes with creamy center were outstanding! Thanks, Molly’s!

Jennifer Blazek

I ordered a dozen assorted cupcakes, and a couple of other things, via GrubHub. I received a dozen mini cupcakes, but paid for a dozen assorted regular cupcakes. So sad 😢 Review edited. They did credit my money to try and make it right. The kids were still disappointed, but the little cupcakes were tasty.

Noah Torstenson

These cupcakes are absolutely to die for! Their flavors are each outside the box in their own way, meaning you just have to try each and every one. They offer mini cupcakes as well as the large, and several of the flavors have a filling inside of the cupcake.

this place is adorable and their creme brulee cupcake is actually the best thing I've ever eaten in my life.

Jonny Demo

It's a sweets shop with a coffee house feel. I'm hypoglycemic and couldn't even order anything. I was so impressed with the setting, the inventiveness of the product and the "teacher" theme that I think I'm going to be bringing people to Molly's for as long as they are in business. Truly a gem of a business.

Tamyrn Nix

Cupcakes were so Yummi :) Spoke with them on the phone and she suggested we come in to pick the flavors we wanted. They all were beautiful and moist and interesting flavors. I loved the mint mashup girl scout cookie flavor they came up with for the cupcake I ate. There was an argument over who would get the Ron Benningtons' but all the flavors were awesome. One of the gentleman there just got the biggest smile on his face when I told him they were Molly cupcakes-hes a frequent flyer of their cupcakes. My son loved that extra touch for his 21st birthday, he said they were adult cupcakes. We'll be visiting there very soon.

Melanie Jean-Louis

The cupcakes are so good and fresh. Absolutely Delicious, especially the Creme Brulee and the Peach Cobbler! I couldnt get enough of them. I visited Des Moines for the first time, but I'll definitely go to the Molly's in Greenwich Village New York!

Jazmine Lopez

We had Molly's Cupcakes make our wedding cake. The cake was absolutely amazing. They were easy to work with and really captured the vision I had for the cake. They showed up on time and set everything up for us. Everyone loved the cake.

Ken Mosher. Jr.

Love Molly's, great flavors, my daughter is glutten intolerant and says best glutten free cupcake in des Moines. Moist.not dry like most. A bit high on price but its quality !!!!!!!!!

K J

Delicious! Bought for a birthday party~a big hit & fun treat! Everyone enjoyed the variety! Delivery was very reasonable & arrived on time. I’d highly recommend~a lot of fun for a special occasion!

Dominic Bilotta

Courtney, Jordan were able to accommodate all our last minute changes in quantity and pick up time with everything going on in the world. Not only were they adaptable but the sweets are out of this world. The cheese cake is better than my grandmothers (sorry grandma).

Eileen F D

The cupcakes were really good and very moist - the only thing I didn’t like is that when we were trying to eat them they started falling apart and got all over our clothes. We would definitely buy it again but we would definitely eat it with some silverware and on a plate.

Heather sargent

My favorite cupcake place hands down!!! I've been going here since they were over by Jordan creek and I was bummed when I thought they had closed then I saw them on doordash!! I immediately spent $37 on cupcakes

Sarah Croteau

So good! Wide variety of desserts, from simple to crazy flavors. I loved the ones that I tried. You really can't go wrong with any of these cupcakes. I will be coming back for more!

Lindsey Smith

Absolutely wonderful service. My grubhub driver dropped off the incorrect order and one of the employees from Molly's dropped it off for me because I'm quarantined. Such amazing service, will for sure return and recommend to everyone.

Jenna Herr

Molly's is a fun place to spend time with a loved one over a delicious dessert. The cupcakes are tasty and cute. They offer a lot of unique flavors, and they often have other desserts (like mini-cheesecakes!) too. They have a few board games on hand, which makes for a fun date with a friend or a kiddo.

Chad Lightner

Awesome establishment! Great service, great variety, and great cupcakes! Prices were very appropriate considering the fact your in downtown des moines. And to top it off, they gave my daughter a free birthday cupcake....she dropped it on the floor....and they gave her another free one! I'll be bringing all of my out of town family here in the future. YUMMMMMMMMM!

Dorothy Urbanovsky

Have you ever eaten something so incredibly glorious that you almost want to cry tears of joy? That was my sister and I's reaction to these cupcakes. Let's back up here: I have tried hundreds of cupcakes over the years, I'm talking Carlos bakery, Sprinkes, Magnolia Silos, and plenty of other in the United States and a handful in Europe. I have had some good ones but most are made out of a cake mix. Which to me just doesn't cut it. Molly's cupcakes are the pinnacle of all cupcakes. The moistest cake, the lightest meringue style buttercream and delicious fillings. You can tell Molly's cares about each aspect of the cupcake right down to the garnishes. The Rainbow sherbet, is my all time favorite (I've been to Molly's 4 times) but I don't think it's possible to go wrong. I live 3 hours away from Molly's but if you want the cupcake that will change your life, you have to make a trip to Molly's.

Michael Gorman

Incredible! Worth a visit regardless of what may bring you anywhere near the East Village. The staff is genuinely dedicated to customer experience, the decor takes you back to carefree school days, and the consistently rotating selection of creative cupcake flavors are ridiculously good!

OptimumOptinom

Delicious cupcakes with multiple varieties. You can make your own creations too. Cake is also an option for catering events. The swings are the best for indoor visits.

Monica reed-tremmel

I have purchased cupcakes here multiple times, including the gluten free (I am allergic to gluten). Their cupcakes are always fresh and delicious!

Katie Nelson

LOVE that Molly's decided to come to Des Moines. Their cupcakes are so delicious. The cake batter cupcake and the almond cupcake are my favorites- but you can't go wrong with even a non-filled cupcake with buttercream frosting!

Bri G

Some cupcake places lean on fancy frosting and toppers and forget about the actual cake. Molly's doesn't do that. They have fantastic cupcakes and their mini cheesecakes are delicious!

Brittany H

The cupcakes are so great and I love that the flavors are always updated.

Kristin McKibben

I cannot say enough about Molly's Cupcakes in Des Moines. I recently had placed an order with one of Molly's Cupcakes' competitors in Des Moines. This order was for a custom flavor in honor of my late father to be served at his memorial service. Somehow, the other bakery lost the order so at 3:00 p.m. the day before the service we suddenly discovered we had no refreshment! To say I was distraught is an understatement! My husband called Molly's Cupcakes and spoke with our hero, Anna. They were not only able to create a version of the flavor we wanted (lemon meringue - Dad's favorite dessert) but were also able to fill the order in less than 18 hours and opened the doors for us 30 minutes early so we could be at the service on time. All that AND the cupcakes were delicious! Thank you Molly's Cupcakes!

A. Messerli

Oh so yummy! Great service with a smile and very quick as well. Got the strawberry shortcake cupcake and it was amazing!

Gris

Went during our lunch break and got the smores cupcake (mini) and DEVOURED it in less than 1 min . BEST cupcakes i've had! the only complain i would have would be that the lady that helped us out was a little rude while helping us at checkout . other than that cupcakes made up for it .

jenn vasquez

Best gluten free cupcakes ever!! Wish there were more options for GF, but I'll take what I can get. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE EM!! And the brown butter frosting.... Perfection!!

Gary R Grubb

Oh my God! These cupcakes are amazing!!! I would add photos but we ate them to fast. These are probably the best cupcakes in town.

Pam Paske

The best cupcakes in Des Moines!

A K

Best Cupcakes in the Des Moines Metro! Absolutely love the Creme Brûlée Cupcakes! Highly recommend!

Joseph Tucker

Had the crembrule cupcake and it might be the best thing I have ever put in my mouth. This place is phenomenal and is a must to fix any craving you might have.

Lucas Beseke

Friendly staff with a good selection of cupcakes. Had the cookie monster cupcake, which had cookie dough center. Took to go but if you eat there you can sit on a indoor swing set.

Michael Clark

Seriously too much of my income goes to these amazing cupcakes. Pretty sure there is heroin or something in them because I can't get enough. There was a 30 day stretch where my wife and I went every single night....I don't even like sweets usually, but these things are amazing.

Yvonne Huang

Once in a while just have to visit to indulge my craving for cupcakes. Love everything I've tried here!

C W

These are my favorite cupcakes in all of Des Moines metro area!!!

Adam Simpson

If you haven't had Molly's cupcakes yet then you need to stop, take a step back and figure out what you're doing with your life because you are missing out. Doesn't even matter what flavor you try, they're all amazing.

Misty Dulek

So happy that we found Molly's Cupcakes on our way through Des Moines!! Friendly staff and absolutely DELICIOUS cupcakes!!

Cameron French

Workers are really great. I ordered one of the “ugly” cupcakes that are discounted, it ended up being full price and tasted very old.

The Vitus Touch

Great atmosphere! Nice staff! Not a lot of vegan options but the stuff that was available was absolutely delicious!

Brenda Meester

The cupcakes are great, but I really think the coffee is the best of any I've had. Hot or iced, it's a must order with your cupcake.

E B

This place is awesome! They have a very nice selection of Gluten Free cupcakes. The stack of games they have makes for a perfect hangout on a rainy day

Joan White

My husband and I took a moment out of our busy holiday schedule to try this cupcake shop. Neither of us had a cupcake but the molasses cookies I had was reminiscent of my childhood. Crunchier edge for dunking and soft center. My husband had the mini apple pie. I NEVER have apple pie out as they don't hold a candle to my dear mamas version ( and it's been more than fifteen years since I had one) but I tried his and it was so close I am buying one to take with me! It is a great atmosphere and the people working here are so well suited to this shop.
