ABOUT US

Since 2014 we (Pim and Claudia) have been working full-time on making "edible art", as some of our customers sometimes exclaim. Cake 5 Exclusive Cakes was created by a challenge. It's actually a really fun story!

Claudia once made a birthday cake for our son, which according to Pim looked very nice but was really not tasty.

Whereupon Claudia challenged him and told him to make the next cake!

Pim did not want to let himself be known and immediately started to tackle it properly.

He then went to Robert van Beckhoven in Oisterwijk and followed the patisserie training for beginners there (and subsequently also all subsequent patisserie and bread courses that Robert gave!)

Soon orders came in and we started baking from home.

Until we received so many requests that the house became too small and we started looking for a business space.

From January 2014 we have been working full-time together as Team Cake 5 Exclusive Cakes.

educations

Before we officially started Cake 5 Exclusive Cakes, we followed the necessary training. For inspiration we visited Carlos Bakery in New York and followed a workshop there together. Claudia then followed the English (Wilton) and American (PME) courses and various workshops in the field of professional cake decoration and Pim learned the intricacies of the trade with, among others, master pastry chef Robèrt van Beckhoven and The Bakery Institute in Zaandam. Within Cake 5, Pim is the point of contact for our customers and suppliers and ensures that all cakes and small pastries are baked and filled. In addition, he ensures that the wedding cakes are delivered on location with our refrigerated valuable transport. Claudia is responsible for the creative part, such as making the sketches, building and decorating the cakes and the design of our website and social media.

Birthday cake for King Willem Alexander

We are honored to have made the birthday cake for our Royal Highness Willem-Alexander to celebrate his 50th birthday and his visit to Tilburg on King's Day 2017. After the official part, we had the honor to celebrate this special moment at a secret location together with the Royal family and other invited guests from the municipality of Tilburg. King Willem Alexander and Queen Maxima admired the cake and then cut and eaten the first pieces. This day and the meeting with our royal couple was very special and for us the crown on our work!
