A local bakery built on the belief that the best desserts start with simple, honest ingredients.

Kissner Cakery lives at 1003 N O St in the heart of Indianola, and we've been serving this community one layer at a time ever since day one. Every cake is mixed, baked, frosted, and finished right here — no shortcuts, no frozen bases, no compromises.

Whether you're planning an anniversary, a birthday, a baby shower, or just want something wonderful with your morning coffee, we approach every order with the same standard: would we be proud to serve this to our own family?

That's the Kissner difference. It's not just how it tastes — it's how it makes you feel.

We let the cake do the talking — but our customers can't resist sharing their experience.

Kissner Cakery made our wedding cake absolutely perfect. It tasted incredible and looked like something out of a magazine. Every guest asked where we ordered it from.

I stop by every Tuesday for their coffee and a fresh croissant. It's become the highlight of my week. The staff remembers my order and always makes me feel welcome.

They accommodated my daughter's gluten allergy without making her feel left out. The gluten-free birthday cake was just as beautiful and delicious as the regular one.
