Pickup: How to Get Your Cake

When you order a cake from us, you collect it yourself. We do not deliver, whatever the date or location. You pick up your cake at our pickup point in Vlaardingen or Rotterdam, by appointment. Please order at least 2 weeks in advance. Here is how it all works.

Pickup in Vlaardingen and Rotterdam

Pickup is available from our home kitchen in Vlaardingen, and in Rotterdam. When your cake is ready, we send you a message with a time window. You come by, we hand you the cake in a secure box, and you are on your way.

What you get: No extra charge. You see the cake before you leave. You control the transport conditions (drive carefully, keep it flat, avoid direct sun). For tiered cakes, we can walk you through how to handle it in the car.

Keep in mind: You need to come to Vlaardingen or Rotterdam. If you are hosting elsewhere, that means planning a trip into your day. For large or multi-tier cakes, you need a flat surface in your car, ideally the floor behind the front seats or a flat boot.

Tips for safe transport: Bring a non-slip mat or damp towel to place under the cake box. Drive smoothly and avoid sharp brakes. Keep the car cool. If it is summer, blast the AC before putting the cake in.

Planning Your Pickup

Because pickup is the only option, it helps to plan it from the start. Order at least 2 weeks in advance, and tell us which pickup point suits you best. We confirm the details with you before we start baking.

Far from our pickup points? If your event is far away, if you are managing a busy event day, or if you have a multi-tier cake, plan the trip ahead. Choose the pickup point that works best for you, think about who will drive, and ask us how to handle the cake in the car.

How to Decide

You can choose between our two pickup points, Vlaardingen and Rotterdam. Pickup is free, and it gives you full control over how your cake travels. There is no delivery option.

When you place your order, let us know which pickup point you prefer and we will confirm all the details.
