The Art of Tart


If you are looking for a really extravagant wedding cake, a birthday cake that looks like an armadillo or intoxicatingly delicious petit fours or gold or silver foil plated impeccable chocolate cakes Dolce Farniente is the right address in Basel.

Wencke Schmid, Mastermind and Cake Designer, is the woman behind Dolce Farniente. Her creations are far off the ordinary with exotic and exquisit ingredients and pure luxury for a moderate price. All products are freshly produced in their premises in Kleinbasel.

Or at Choco Loco at Spalenberg.
