FAQ

We deliver in planned delivery windows: orders are collected per window and every cake leaves the bakery fresh. The available delivery dates are shown while you order, and you choose the date that suits you. Orders placed after a window closes simply join the next one.

Flat rates per delivery: EUR 7,95 in the Netherlands and EUR 9,95 in Belgium.

The webshop reflects what we can actually deliver: if you can add a product to your basket, it is available for your delivery window. Sold-out products are marked and cannot be ordered. Popular items can run out before a window closes, so it pays not to wait for the deadline.

Our products are perishable food items and are therefore exempt from the 14-day right of withdrawal under Dutch law. Once delivered, orders cannot be returned.

We work with couriers who specialise in delivering food products and cakes, and they handle every package with care, so we trust everything arrives without damage. Should that not be the case, contact us and we will try to find a suitable solution.

Yes, from our “Beer and other alcoholic beverages” category – if you are 18 or older. Orders containing alcohol require an 18+ confirmation at checkout, and age shall be verified upon delivery.

At sakotis.nl – the first webshop in the Netherlands and Belgium dedicated to authentic Lithuanian sakotis, with fresh-baked delivery windows to your door. You can also find part of our assortment at four physical points: MijnTafel in Gouda, Alphen aan den Rijn and Leiden, and Jouw Marktkraam in Uithoorn (fresh sakotis and bread are webshop-only).

Sakotis (šakotis, “the branched one”) is Lithuania’s festive tree cake: thin layers of batter poured over a rotating spit by an open fire, forming golden rings and spiky branches. It crowns Lithuanian weddings, Christmas and Easter tables. In Dutch it is known as boomcake, in German as Baumkuchen.

They are close cousins from the same spit-cake family. German Baumkuchen is baked in smooth layers and often glazed; Lithuanian sakotis keeps its characteristic spiky branches and a lighter, eggier crumb. Both show tree rings when sliced.

Yes. We deliver across Belgium in the same fresh-baked delivery windows as in the Netherlands, at a flat rate of EUR 9,95 per delivery. Our very first Belgian order dates back to February 2021.
