BAKED STUDIOS DSM

Des Moines' only dedicated baking and pastry studio, built around one core belief - that understanding “why” something works makes you a better baker forever. Hands-on classes taught by a professionally trained pastry chef who genuinely loves sharing what she knows. Public classes, private events, corporate sessions, and 1-on-1 work. Every skill level, every time.

CAKE STUDIO DSM

Chef-crafted custom cakes built on a rotating seasonal menu. Strawberries in June, rhubarb in April, honey chamomile when the season calls for something softer. Real ingredients at their peak, Swiss meringue buttercream from scratch, and botanical design that looks like it came straight from a garden. Made to order in Des Moines by a trained pastry chef who puts as much thought into how it tastes as how it looks.

Meet Chef Jackie

Hi, I'm Jackie Servellon - the chef behind both of these baking concepts.

Flavor, technique, and dedication to my craft have driven everything I do in the kitchen. From my time studying at the Iowa Culinary Institute through years in professional kitchens, including as Pastry Sous Chef at Oak Park Restaurant here in Des Moines, understanding the why behind every process has been what pushes me and what shapes everything I make and teach.

That drive is what Baked Studios DSM is built on. I love teaching and I am genuinely good at making complex concepts feel accessible and human. Watching someone walk out of a class with real understanding — not just a finished product but actual knowledge they can use — is something that never gets old for me.

With Cake Studio DSM, cake design and craft flavor pairings come from a completely different part of my brain. It is intuitive, personal, and deeply connected to the seasons and whoever I am working with. Every cake I design is different because every person and every moment is different.

Both brands are an honest expression of who I am as a chef. I would love for you to experience one, or both, of them.

More About Jackie

What Clients Are Saying

  • We had an amazing experience at Chef Jackie’s cream puff and éclair class! It was interactive, surprisingly educational, and the end result was absolutely delicious. 10/10 would recommend. What stood out most was Chef Jackie’s incredible ability to adapt and create an inclusive, welcoming atmosphere for all. Our group included my mother-in-law from Argentina, who doesn’t speak English, a potential challenge in most settings. With no notice and without missing a beat, Jackie added Spanish (she’s nearly fluent!), tweaked the music, and turned the class into a bilingual experience. Her cultural awareness and thoughtful hosting made it enjoyable for everyone. Truly impressive!

    Kevin Vaughan-Carber

  • We had the pleasure of having Chef Jackie for an in-home macaron baking class, and she deserves a Michelin star in patience alone. Our group was large, enthusiastic, and mildly chaotic, but Jackie handled us like a seasoned pro (with a piping bag in one hand and a smile in the other). Highly recommend this experience if you want to learn, laugh, and leave with a sugar high

    Abby

  • Jackie made us a beautiful 3 foot cake for a friend’s graduation party. She is incredibly talented, creative and a joy to work with. Her cake is amazing. My partner said “this is what real cake tastes like!” She uses high quality ingredients and makes beautiful work.

    Nicole S.

  • I first tried one of Jackie’s cakes at a friend’s birthday and it was so incredible, I immediately ordered a custom cake from her for an upcoming anniversary. It was a huge hit and was devoured in silence because we were just blown away! Her intricate flavors and delicate details are like none other you’ve ever experienced. So beautifully made and so unbelievably delicious! Highly highly recommend! Also, she personally delivered to my house on the day I needed it, which I thought was above and beyond!
