Bekkwith's Bakery to Satisfy Ankeny's Sweet Tooth with New Gourmet Cupcakes

You've likely sampled the cake balls at Bekkwith's Bakery in Ankeny. It's also likely you loved them.

But the bakery, located at 107 N.E. Delaware Ave., is expanding its reach this week to satisfy a new kind of sweet tooth.

According to owner Nicole Sherman, specialty cupcakes are now being sold at Bekkwith's. Twenty-two flavors will make their way through the sale racks, including blueberry cheesecake, malt shoppe, root beer, Snickers, and Death by Oreo.

Daily quanities are limited tough, Sherman said, so if you want one, you better get there quick.

Addicted to cake balls? No worries. Those will still be available, too.

"Pink champagne is our most popular flavor in those," Sherman said. "So are chocolate, red velvet and margarita."

Sherman and her husband, Shawn, opened Bekkwith’s in 2011 after several years of Sherman making cakes for weddings and special occasions. They first introduced the cake balls at the Ankeny Farmers Market and discovered people particularly liked the product.

The bakery is named after their daughter, Rebekkah.

A year ago, Bekkwith's moved from its location on East First Street to the place it currently resides.

Sherman said it was a great move, and business has been great as a result.
