The shop was tidy and welcoming, featuring vintage lunch box decor, swings instead of chairs up at the countertop, and a map to mark where you're from. The service was friendly and prompt. Everything was very inviting. They have lots of seating and games to play while you eat your cupcake. We tried a variety and every single one of the cupcakes we got was delicious. They were all moist with just the right amount of sweetness. My favorites were the peach cobbler and the banana split.

This was one of our last stops before leaving Des Moines. We picked up several items:…read more 1) milk bread with ube 2) milk bread with red beans 3) ube rice krispie treats 4) milk bread cinnamon roll 5) scotcheroo 6) matcha Blondies with white chocolate chips Coming from Chicago, it is relatively easy to come across milk bread and/or baked goods with ube and matcha. The first three items did not have a strong flavor profile and therefore didn't leave much of an impression with us. The ube in the rice krispie treats was very subtle and I'm not sure what the black components were. It looked like black sesame but we couldn't taste it. The latter three items were more appealing.

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!

The cookies were delicious plus she shared her recipe. There were several tip selections so we were able to be very creative.
