Molly's Cupcakes - Des Moines

They have a vegan chocolate and vanilla cupcake, along with vegan vanilla, chocolate and peanut butter frosting options. You also have vegan sprinkles.

There are so few vegan options considering how many not vegan options they have.

Chocolate chocolate chocolate peanut butter cupcake

I've been vegan for half of my life , and I can honestly say that I've never had a better vegan cupcake than Molly's vegan vanilla with vegan vanilla frosting. The texture is spot on. I hope they come out with more vegan varieties someday!

I had lunch at Dumpling Darling across the street, and I had read that Molly's usually has 2 vegan cupcakes so we stopped for dessert. It's a cute space with lots of light, and I love the swing chairs at the bar! I was also surprised to see a Strawberry Shortcake cupcake labeled vegan, so we got one of those and a chocolate with vanilla frosting (see photos). The Strawberry Shortcake is awesome! My family used to get angel food cake strawberry glaze from the grocery store, and this gave me some nostalgia with the flavors. I'm usually a chocolate gal, but I would have the strawberry over the chocolate any day. The chocolate cupcake was still good, slightly more dense that I prefer, and the frosting was a little too sweet for me but that's all personal preference. Updated from previous review on 2018 09 01
