About Me
Some cakes are just dessert, others become part of a memory.
My name is Elena Kinzel, I am a pastry chef and the creative mind behind my wedding cakes. My passion is dedicated to exclusive cakes and sweet tables that combine aesthetics, flavor, and craftsmanship into a truly special experience.
At the age of 20, I moved from Siberia to Germany and worked for many years as a pharmaceutical commercial assistant in a pharmacy. However, my love for patisserie never left me. What began with small cakes for family and friends gradually became my greatest passion and eventually my profession.
Today, I create individual wedding cakes for couples who value quality, style, and uniqueness. Each of my cakes is made with great attention to detail, high quality ingredients, and a refined sense of design, because no wedding is the same.
In my café in Bavaria, I create sweet works of art that are more than just dessert. They become part of your story.
What wedding cake trends are you currently seeing?
At the moment, Lambeth-style decorations, elongated cake shapes, and minimalist designs are especially popular. This combination of classic decoration and modern simplicity feels particularly elegant and timeless.
What is the most unusual wedding cake you have created so far?
One of my most unusual cakes was a wedding cake featuring a world map. It marked all the places the couple had traveled to together, creating a very personal and emotional design.
What is your insider tip for couples when choosing their wedding cake?
My most important tip is to never put taste behind appearance. Of course, the cake should look beautiful, but flavor is just as important. Your guests will appreciate a cake that not only looks stunning but also tastes exceptional.
What inspires your designs and flavor creations?
I am strongly inspired by my own, slightly unconventional aesthetic. I love interpreting things in a different way and creating designs that stand out while still feeling refined and elegant.
What is essential for you when creating a successful sweet table?
My macarons are an absolute must. They are a true highlight at every wedding. In addition, well portioned and carefully coordinated desserts are important so that the entire selection feels harmonious and every guest can find something they enjoy.
Are you still looking for a wedding cake or a sweet table that not only looks beautiful but also leaves a lasting impression in terms of taste?
I would love to create a cake or sweet table together with you that perfectly complements your special day.
