They correspond roughly to the English "some" (des) and "these/those" (ces). A native speaker may be able to give a more in-depth explanation.

Salut Oscar,
'des' is the plural of the indefinite article 'de' ,so here in the context of this question it means 'some' or 'any' as Daniel mentioned:
"Would you like to have some cakes?"
'ces' is the plural of the demonstrative adjective 'ce' and means 'these' or 'those' .
"Would you like to have these/those cakes?"
