Cakes

The Beginning

A family vision,
crafted into an institution

Cakes by Special Events was founded by Hala Jaber — a mother, entrepreneur and obsessive cake artist who believed Dubai deserved a studio that treated every cake the way couture houses treat a gown: with absolute dedication, from first sketch to final installation.

What began in a home kitchen over twelve years ago has grown into one of the UAE's most sought-after bespoke cake studios. We have created over 3,000 original cakes for royalty, celebrities, corporate giants and families celebrating the moments that matter most.

What Drives Us

Our values

Absolute Precision

Every tier is level to the millimetre. Every petal is placed with intent. We obsess over the details so you never have to.

Bespoke by Nature

We do not produce catalogue cakes. Your creation is designed from a blank canvas, exclusively for your event.

Finest Ingredients

Belgian couverture chocolate, French AOP butter, seasonal edible florals and 24k gold leaf — only what is exceptional.

  • French AOP Butter

    Cultured, high-fat butter from Normandy gives our buttercreams an incomparable richness and depth.

  • Seasonal Edible Florals

    Hand-selected, food-safe botanicals sourced weekly. Never artificial, always in season.

  • 24k Edible Gold Leaf

    Food-grade gold leaf from certified suppliers — the finest finish for the most extraordinary creations.
