For special occasions and birthdays it’s nice to have a cake specially made. Here are some options where you can order a cake or have one custom made (remember to order a week or more in advance if possible). Further down I have some recommendations for store brought cakes when you need a emergency one straight away! Plus some ideas for where to buy cake decorations when making your own,

Mehlspeisenfräulein is run by two young women who love to bake! They offer homemade cakes, cupcakes, cheesecakes and tarts in a wide range of delicious flavours. They also offer a regular pop up bakery (more details on their facebook) and you can see a quick overview of all their lovely creations on instagram
