On a busy stretch of University Avenue in Windsor Heights, The Bake Shoppe has long been one of Des Moines’ most iconic food institutions, a place where customers duck in for a single cupcake, a box of petit fours or, for many families, the only birthday cake that’s ever really mattered: the Champagne cake. 

Now, the couple behind the bakery’s latest chapter has carried that legacy west, expanding to fast-growing Waukee while fiercely protecting the traditions that made the shop beloved in the first place.
