The cake is made for celebrating a few (belated) birthdays and is dedicated to the abdication of our Queen Beatrix clearing the way for her eldest son, Crown-Prince Willem Alexander, to become our nation's first king in more than a century.
The crown change takes place on April 30, also known as Koninginnedag, which is a national holiday and renowned as one of the biggest and most colorful fesivities in the Netherlands. This year's festival will be jolly particularly due to the combined royal celebrations.
With the abdication, the Netherlands says farewell to a beloved and highly appreciated Queen.
It will surely bring an outpouring of sentimental feelings.
