{ Welcome to Iowa Rent-A-Cake! }
Iowa Rent-A-Cake (formerly known as Shelly's Country Cakes) was created with the wedding couples in mind. Founder, Shelly Irwin, owner and artist listens and understands their desire for a affordable designer wedding cake. Our studio, located near Des Moines, Iowa, designs cake art that can be rented for the day.
Iowa couples now can capture a showpiece wedding cake that fits into their budget. With today’s economic uncertainty many couples are creatively planning their dream wedding and are looking for cost affective alternatives. They are no longer limited to a smaller display cake or inferior quality cakes … renting a cake could be their least expensive option – and the tastiest.
Rental cakes are made of a foam base covered with sugar fondant icing. They are designed to look like real cakes with the same artistry and attention to details. With an Iowa Rent-A-Cake couples can have a beautiful centerpiece, honor the cake cutting ceremony and serve delicious side cakes to share with their guests all at a fraction of the cost to a comparable conventional cake.
Wedding cake rental is a fairly new trend and is gaining popularity across the country. Start a new tradition with renting a wedding cake!
