The white classic
Beautiful, white wedding cakes built up in several layers are still hot! This timeless classic is therefore a favourite and obvious choice for many brides and grooms. If you go for an all-white one, you are sure to be enchanted by its elegant, sleek look. Of course, you can also dress up the white classic with fancy decorative details that also appear in your favourite colour palette. Think edible flowers, fine glitter or a dash of colour from your theme. In this way, your wedding cake will stay traditional and yet a little quirky.

Naked cake
Fancy a simple but very trendy wedding cake? Then perhaps the naked cake is for you. No thick layer of fondant, marzipan or crème au beurre - the naked cake is and remains naked! This way, the sweetest (and heaviest) part of the cake falls away, revealing the biscuit. A naked cake is not only pleasing to the eye, it is also super original! By the way, you can also dress up the wedding cake (got it?) according to the season with beautiful autumn leaves or gorgeous summer flowers.
Without worries
Guests are increasingly coming with specific dietary requirements: lactose-free, gluten-free, vegan, sugar-free... and let the wedding cake just now often contain these specific ingredients. Are you looking for a cake that everyone can enjoy without any worries? Enjoy to the last crumb a healthy, 100% vegan and delicious dessert. Or do you want a cake that is halal?
The sum of its parts
Most wedding cakes consist of several layers that together form a beautiful tower, an absolute attention-getter! But of course, you don't have to stick to classic models and views! You can also serve different cakes at your wedding party. Various flavours, finishes and details will then form a new whole together and will pleasantly surprise your guests. Complete the picture with flowers, glitter and trendy toppers. Especially with this formula, beautiful tableware works wonders!

Open heart
Have a wedding cake made where a piece is cut out, allowing you to literally look inside the cake! Your pastry chef will decorate the inside with flowers, glitter and colours. Popular in this category is the geode wedding cake or gem cake. In such cakes, the opening is decorated so that it looks as if the cake is made of precious stones inside. A beautiful optical illusion and a real eye-catcher at your wedding party!
Soaring with a pudding tower
Is a classic wedding cake not for you at all, but do you fancy a sweet ending after the meal? Then maybe you will opt for a delicious puff tower. You can decorate your tower with puffs, macarons or cake pops. This way, you provide the perfect solution for enjoying an original bite of sweetness together with your guests. An alternative wedding cake that exudes glamour and seduction!
More cakes, more choice
Chocolate, vanilla, red velvet, strawberry or blueberry? Can't choose between all these delicious flavours for your wedding cake? Then just take them all! Thanks to a wedding cake made up of several layers of cupcakes, your selection stress disappears like snow in the sun. You choose how many flavours you want to add and thus get your guests creative. A little surprise: place a small wedding cake on top of your own creation and then ritually cut your personal work of art, hand in hand, as bride and groom newly united. Totally original, guaranteed to be emotional!
