Crafting timeless edible art experiences

Welcome to Parinda Cupcakes – Where Your Sweet Moments Come to Life!

At Parinda Cupcakes, I believe every celebration deserves something truly special. From my home kitchen in Des Moines, Iowa – operating under cottage food law and fully insured – I (May) craft custom cakes and cupcakes that are as beautiful as they are delicious.

Each creation is a one-of-a-kind piece of edible art, thoughtfully designed with your vision in mind. Whether you're planning a wedding, birthday, or corporate event, I bring your ideas to life with delicate buttercream flowers, botanical elements, and hand-painted details.

Want to try your hand at cake art? Join one of my interactive decorating workshops, where I’ll guide you through my favorite techniques in a fun, hands-on environment.

Let’s make your next celebration extra special. Order your custom cake today or join one of my workshops to get started!

what our clients say

  • “May is truly an artist! We had her make us a vintage almond heart shaped wedding cake and cupcakes that looked like flowers for our guest. EVERYONE raved about how beautiful the cupcakes were and how amazing they tasted. We were honored to have Parinda Cupcakes be a part of our special day!”

    Mackenzie Chafa

  • “We used Parinda for our wedding reception. First of all, Parinda had the best tasting cake and frostings by far of the ones we tried in the Des Moines area and the beauty of her artwork on the cake is above the cut. But beyond the cake, May is a genuinely kind and friendly person and we are so thankful for her involvement on our special day. If you like supporting small businesses and want unique, high quality work and service, Parinda is the way to go. We would recommend her anytime!”

    Jacob Gockel

  • “We used Parinda Cupcakes for our wedding and it was the best cake I have ever had in my life! Our cake turned out so beautiful and it was so unique. We absolutely loved it. The flowers on the cake were incredible and looked so realistic! May is truly and artist. And her cakes taste as good as they look! There are so many amazing flavors to choose from as well. We couldn’t pick so we used three flavors for our wedding cake! I would highly recommend Parinda Cupcakes!”

    Sophia Stevens

  • “I highly recommend Parinda Cupcakes! May was wonderful to work with and I really appreciated that she considered my budget when determining the best option for my daughters 1st birthday. I sent her inspiration for my daughters cupcakes and smash cake and she executed everything perfectly. Her cupcakes were the talk of the party and people couldn’t believe her floral design was made from icing. It looked like artwork and tasted wonderful. Please consider her for your cupcake and cake needs you will not be disappointed!”
