    Anniversary Cakes for Every Milestone

    Wedding anniversaries in the Netherlands follow a specific pattern. The 12.5-year anniversary (koperen bruiloft) is the first big one, followed by 25 years (silver), 40 years (ruby), and 50 years (gold). Each milestone has its own character, and the cake should match.

    We make anniversary cakes for all of these. From intimate celebrations with just the couple to large family parties with 40+ guests, the cake is always custom-made in buttercream.

    For a 12.5-year anniversary, designs tend to be playful. Couples are still relatively young, and the party is often a surprise. Drip cakes with copper-coloured accents work well here.

    Silver anniversaries (25 years) lean more elegant. Think white buttercream with silver drip, fresh flowers, or macaron toppers. These cakes are often larger — 25 years means a bigger guest list.

    Ruby (40 years) and gold (50 years) anniversaries call for richer colour palettes. Deep reds, burgundy, and gold are common requests. An acrylic topper with the number of years is a simple finishing touch that makes the cake feel personal.

    Sizes, Flavours, and Pricing

    Our anniversary cakes start at €50 for smaller celebrations and go up to €100 for larger or more detailed designs. All cakes are buttercream — no fondant. Base flavours are vanilla and chocolate, with fillings like chocolate ganache, white chocolate ganache, vanilla cream, vanilla with strawberry, or vanilla with raspberry.

    Not sure what size you need? Our cake calculator helps you figure out the right size based on your guest count.

    For bigger parties, consider adding cupcakes alongside the main cake. Guests can take them home as a small memento of the celebration.

    How to Order Your Anniversary Cake

    We need at least one week of lead time. Tell us which anniversary it is, how many guests you expect, your flavour preferences, and any design ideas. If you have a colour scheme for the party, share that too — we will match the cake to it.

    Pickup is available in Vlaardingen and Rotterdam. Delivery across Zuid-Holland is also an option. Start your order here.
