Love is love, no matter when it strikes

The supreme discipline of any cake bakery has always been the wedding cake, that’s one thing for sure. Jaap, the “Banketbakker,” knows that too. But before a wedding can happen, you first have to fall in love. Every child knows that.

But how do you know when you’ve fallen in love? “When your heart beats faster,” says the farm cat. “Up into your throat, into your stomach and back again. Your whole body tingles. Your thoughts go crazy. You get up singing and go to sleep happy.” The young prince has never experienced this. At the same time, he is expected to marry someone. Because his mother, the old Queen, wants to retire. A royal wedding is on the horizon. All the princesses from all over the world are invited to the bridal show. But at the end of the party, even the Queen is at a loss. None of the princesses has made the prince’s heart beat faster.

A fairy tale without a happy ending? There’s another princess at the door. With her brother...

Jaap, the pastry chef, tells a story about love, the courage to be who you are and to stand by your feelings. Because love is love. No matter when it strikes.
