Every year since 2009, a cake has been created by a renowned confectioner for a prominent personality. The ceremonial handover of this masterpiece takes place at midnight, marking one of the highlights of the ZuckerBäckerball.
At the festive press conference hosted by “Ballmutti” and Vice Honorary Consul Prof. Birgit Sarata, musical star Maya Hakvoort was announced as recipient of the celebrity cake at the 122nd ZuckerBäckerball.
