Top 10 Wedding Cakes in Marrakech: The 2026 Sweet Edit
There is one major enemy of the wedding cake in Marrakech: The Heat. ☀️🍰
While the Red City offers incredible French patisserie and Moroccan sweets, finding a wedding cake that looks like it came from Pinterest and survives a 35°C garden reception is a challenge.
The scene here is split between “Haute Pâtisserie” (think French elegance, macarons) and “Cake Design” (American-style sugar paste art). I have curated the Top 10 Cake Artists who master not just the flavor, but the structural engineering required for a destination wedding.
I have seen beautiful cakes turn into puddings because of poor logistics. In Marrakech, you don’t just need a baker; you need a refrigerated truck and a precise delivery schedule.
Do not coordinate the cake delivery yourself on your wedding day. You need a planner to ensure the venue has the right fridge space and the cake is brought out at the exact right moment. Check my list of the Top 10 Wedding Planners in Marrakech to manage this delicate operation.

👑 1. Sweet Cake Marrakech (Gema)
Gema is the undisputed Queen of sugar paste and flower art in Marrakech. If you have a specific “Pinterest” vision of a towering, floral-draped wedding cake, she is the one to call. Her attention to detail is unmatched, creating edible art that often looks too good to cut.
Best For: The “Pinterest” Layer Cake vision.
🧁 2. 16Café
Think of 16Café as the “Ladurée” of Marrakech. Their branding is incredibly chic, and their execution of French classics is flawless. While they do cakes, they are most famous for their stunning Macaron Towers which make for a sophisticated, modern alternative to the traditional sponge.
Best For: Macaron Towers and chic, branded desserts.
🍽️ 3. MFF (Marrakech Fine Food)
NEW on the scene. MFF has quickly established itself as a powerhouse with excellent industrial capacity. They are fantastic for “Welcome Dinners” or massive dessert buffets where volume and consistency are key. Their “Mignardises” (mini desserts) are visually stunning and delicious.
Best For: Massive dessert buffets and reliable volume.
🇫🇷 4. Amandine Marrakech
For the purists. Amandine is an institution in Marrakech. They focus on the traditional “Pièce Montée” (Choux pastry tower) and classic French flavors. They prioritize taste and tradition over American-style sugar fondant designs.
Best For: French traditionalists who prioritize taste.
✨ 5. Maison Alexis
Alexis brings a very trendy, refined touch to the dessert table. They excel at “Entremets”—mousse-based cakes with shiny glazes and intricate decorations. It creates a very high-end, visual dessert experience.
Best For: Visual dessert tables and modern Entremets.
🍓 6. Terra Mia
NEW & Amazing Value. Terra Mia blends Italian and French influences. They are my top secret for “Day After” brunches. Their fresh fruit tarts are incredible—light, fresh, and perfect for a sunny morning recovery brunch.
Best For: “Day After” brunches and fruit tarts.
🕰️ 7. Mirgon
The oldest pastry shop in the city, dating back to the 1930s. Stepping into Mirgon is like stepping back in time. They offer an authentic, vintage touch, particularly known for their classic Croquembouche and old-school service.
Best For: Couples who love history and vintage authenticity.
🔥 8. Cakes’n More
If you want to have fun, this is your spot. They are always on top of the latest viral trends, including the famous “Burn-Away” cakes and Bento cakes. Excellent for Hen Parties or couples who want a cake that doubles as entertainment.
Best For: Hen Parties and trendy “Burn-Away” cakes.
🎡 9. La Mignardise
A reliable choice for huge weddings. When you have hundreds of guests and need a mix of Moroccan and International sweets that won’t break the bank but still look impressive, La Mignardise delivers.
Best For: Large scale events.
🌸 10. Gourmandise de Zein
Known for a very delicate touch. Zein specializes in soft, floral designs that feel feminine and elegant. It is less “architectural” than Sweet Cake, but very romantic and soft.
Best For: Soft floral designs and romantic themes.
⚖️ Simone’s Final Verdict
A melted cake is a wedding nightmare. In Marrakech, the logistics of keeping dessert cold during a 6-hour outdoor event are complex.
You need to ensure your venue has industrial fridge space (not just a kitchen fridge!) and that the cake arrives at the last possible safe moment.
Don’t gamble with the centerpiece of your reception. Hire a planner who knows exactly how to coordinate these vendors. Start by reviewing the best in the business:
