About us

The kitchen with a South African heart

Suikerbekkie Keuken began with a simple wish: to share the tastes of home. Elrinda bakes the South African treats she grew up with, melktert, beskuit and malva pudding, from family recipes passed down through generations, now made fresh in Assen.

Everything is made by hand and with care, in small batches. Whether you're a South African missing home or someone discovering these flavours for the first time, you'll taste a piece of the Cape, with a Dutch thread that has travelled along for 400 years.

How far ahead should I order?
Everything is freshly baked to order, so please order a few days ahead. For whole treats (like a whole milk tart), give us a little notice so we can make it beautifully for you. Rusks and some dry goods are prepared in advance, so they can be delivered more quickly.
What about allergens?
Allergens are listed on every product (Contains / May contain). Have a specific question? Send us a message on WhatsApp.
Can I order by the portion or whole?
Yes! Many treats are sold by the portion (a slice or piece) and as a whole version. Choose the variant you want on the product, or ask us via WhatsApp.
