Why do you need seven days' notice?

This is the week we schedule the baking day, order fresh cream, fruit and chocolate, and keep space free in the cold store. Only this way can your cake be worked in alongside daily café operations. We're happy to look into short-notice requests — whether it works out depends on how booked up the relevant baking day already is.

How do I choose the right size?

Allow one slice per guest: 18 centimetres is enough for about eight portions, 22 centimetres for around twelve, 26 centimetres for about sixteen. If the cake is served alongside other cakes on a buffet, we calculate smaller. For larger groups, two cakes in different flavours are often a better choice than one two-tier cake.

What determines the price?

The diameter, the filling, and the effort involved in decoration. Fresh fruit, nougat or marzipan decoration cost more than a classic cream cake, and lettering or figures require additional handwork. You'll receive a fixed price for your cake before confirming, so there are no surprises at pickup.

Are intolerances taken into account?

Tell us about allergies and intolerances when you make your enquiry. We'll tell you openly which ingredients are in the cake you want, and provide the details on all substances subject to mandatory labelling. In our bakery, nuts, egg, milk and wheat are processed daily — so we cannot guarantee separate production.

When can I pick up the cake?

During our opening hours, Tuesday to Sunday. We'll arrange a fixed time slot so the cake stays chilled until the last moment. You'll receive it in a sturdy box; for transport by car, we recommend placing it in the footwell rather than on the seat, and using a cool bag if the journey takes longer than half an hour.

How long does a cream cake keep?

Cream and fruit cakes taste best on the day of pickup and should be eaten within two days — please store continuously in the fridge at no more than seven degrees. Buttercream and nougat cakes are a bit more robust. For cut cakes, it's best to cover them with a cake dome so the base doesn't dry out.

How ordering works

From request to pickup

Every cake is made following a fixed four-step process – with at least seven days between your request and pick-up day.

1

Submit your request

Send us the occasion, preferred date, size and number of guests – via our request form, by phone at +49 30 23125101, or in person at the counter at Hafenstraße 12.
2

Agreeing on filling and decoration

We'll get back to you to clarify the base, filling, decoration and a possible second tier. We'll also discuss any intolerances at this stage.
3

Order becomes binding

As soon as size, filling and pick-up day are set, we confirm the order.
4

Pick-up at the café

We bake and decorate the day before pick-up. You collect the cake within the agreed time window during our opening hours – chilled and boxed.

Seven days' lead time

A week for one cake

Sponges rest overnight, fillings have time to develop, and decoration happens only the day before pickup. We need this week so that the cake looks and tastes on the day exactly as discussed.

Request

Request a cake for your occasion

Tell us the occasion, your preferred collection date and time, and the number of guests — from this we work out the right size: 18 centimetres for about eight pieces, 22 centimetres for around twelve, 26 centimetres for about sixteen.

Also let us know your preferred filling, whether you'd like a sponge or shortcrust base, and any intolerances among your guests. We discuss two-tier cakes in person beforehand, as the structure, supports and chilling time need more lead time.
