Funcakes

FunCakes is a Dutch brand created in 2009, based in the Netherlands. Its mission from the start: to democratize cake design by offering professional quality products at affordable prices.

• Positioning: professional quality accessible to passionate amateurs
• Catalog: over 500 references covering all cake design needs
• Compliance: all products comply with EU standards (Regulation EC No 1333/2008)

Today, FunCakes is one of the three leading European brands in the sector, alongside Azucren (Spain) and SME (United Kingdom).
