Can I walk-in to grab goodies or do I need to pre-order?

We have an assortment of items available in the case and cooler on the daily including cupcakes, cookies, and bars. We also have coffee, espresso, and a full bar! We tend to sell out quickly so if there’s something specific you’re wanting or if your needing a higher quantity, we suggest placing an order either online or on the phone.

Do you make custom cakes?

Absolutely! We have tons of options to help you cater dessert for your next event- whether it be a birthday, wedding, or something in between! Sizes range from a 4’’ smash cake to a 4-tier masterpiece serving 200 guests. Send us a message discuss your next cake!

Do you have any gluten-free and/or vegan items?

We’ve got both! We can also make custom cakes that are gluten-free and/or vegan (available for special order only). We carry at least 2 flavor options for gluten-free cupcakes and 2 flavor options for vegan cupcakes every day we’re open! We also carry a gluten-free + Vegan peanut butter oreo pie, vegan cheesecake, gluten-free macarons, and so much more!

Disclaimer: We are NOT a certified gluten-free or vegan kitchen therefore there is ALWAYS a risk of cross-contamination

What’s this milk bread I’ve been seeing everywhere?

Sammy spent MONTHS developing this recipe and it is absolute perfection. Milk bread is the japanese cousin of brioche bread but created with more milk (duh), less egg, and a specific hydration process. Sammy also has a secret ingredient in her milk bread that makes it a bit denser and increases it’s toast-ability. We have milk bread available Thursday-Saturday every week in the form of cinnamon rolls, and milk buns that are filled with hot dogs, ube halaya, red bean + chestnut jam, or Chinese-style BBQ pork (char siu).

What makes Crème different that other bakeries in town?

We’re one of the very few made-from-scratch bakeries in Iowa, which means our cakes have a denser and finer crumb than those cakes made with a mix. Our frosting is also very unique, but it’s a secret so that’s all we can say about that. We have a big focus on balancing flavors and moisture retention in everything we make so we have a lot of pride in our desserts and love when people say they’re “not too sweet”.

Do you serve alcohol?

Sure do! we house a full bar with a craft cocktail menu available all day!
