Graduation Cakes in Rotterdam: Celebrate Your Degree

The most requested graduation cake is a two-layer buttercream cake in the university's colours with a congratulations message piped on top. Erasmus University graduates often go for dark green accents. Hogeschool Rotterdam students tend to pick bold, bright designs.

For a more personal touch, we can add edible print images — a photo of the graduate, the university logo, or a custom illustration. These go on top of the cake or on cupcake toppers if you're ordering a cupcake set alongside the main cake.

Cupcakes work well for graduation parties where you're expecting a mix of family and friends. A main cake for the photo plus cupcakes for serving means less fuss and no waiting around for someone to cut slices.

Graduation parties range from intimate family dinners to larger gatherings with classmates. For a group of 10-15, our standard cake size is plenty. For bigger parties, we recommend a larger cake or adding cupcakes.

Chocolate cake with chocolate ganache is the favourite for graduation orders. It's rich, indulgent, and feels like a proper celebration. Vanilla cake with vanilla cream and raspberry is a close second — lighter and great for summer graduation season.

Check our cake calculator to match your guest count to the right cake size.

Order at least one week before the graduation celebration. If you want a specific design with edible prints or multiple tiers, two weeks is better.

Include the graduate's name, any colours or themes, and a reference photo if you have one. We'll send you a quote and confirm all the details before we start baking.
