Planning a Wedding Cake in Zuid-Holland
Your wedding cake is one of the few things every guest will see and taste. Getting it right matters, but it does not need to be stressful. If you are getting married in Zuid-Holland, here is how to approach the planning.
Start thinking about your cake at least three to four weeks before the wedding. This gives us time to discuss your design, confirm the size, and schedule baking and delivery around your date. For peak wedding season (May through September), earlier is better because weekends fill up.
Flavours That Work for Weddings
Wedding guests range from kids to grandparents, so flavours that are broadly liked tend to work best. Our most popular wedding combinations are:
Vanilla cake with vanilla cream: The classic. Light, not too sweet, and pairs with every decoration style. It is our most requested wedding flavour by a wide margin.
Chocolate cake with chocolate ganache: For couples who want something richer. The ganache gives a smooth, dense filling that chocolate lovers appreciate.
Vanilla cake with white chocolate ganache: A middle ground between vanilla and chocolate. The white chocolate adds richness without the dark chocolate intensity.
For multi-tier cakes, you can mix flavours across tiers. Vanilla on the bottom, chocolate on top, for example. That way there is something for everyone.
Size and Portions for Your Guest Count
Wedding cake portions are typically smaller than birthday cake portions because they are served as dessert after a full meal. As a general guide:
A two-tier cake (6-inch on 8-inch) serves roughly 30-40 wedding portions. A three-tier cake (6-inch on 8-inch on 10-inch) covers 60-80. If your guest count is larger, we can adjust tier sizes or add a sheet cake that stays in the kitchen for extra servings.
Use our cake calculator to get a starting point, then tell us your guest count and we will recommend the right configuration.
Design and Delivery
Wedding cake designs tend toward elegant: smooth white or ivory buttercream, piped florals, greenery accents, gold or silver details. We also do bolder designs if that fits your wedding style. Send us your colour palette, a photo of your dress or venue, or any inspiration images and we will design around them.
We work exclusively with buttercream, which means your cake will look polished and taste genuinely good. No fondant, no waxy textures, just real buttercream.
For weddings, we strongly recommend delivery rather than pickup. Multi-tier cakes are fragile and transporting them safely requires experience. We deliver across Zuid-Holland and set the cake up at your venue. Start your wedding cake order here.
