Nati's Torten

Nati's Torten is a cake business run by Natalia Stettler at Moosäckerstrasse 75 in Regensdorf, presented on its site as "Torten in Zürich". It makes cakes to order for weddings and engagements, birthdays, baptisms, company events and more, and its wedding page lists two formats: a modern Italian wedding cake for 20 guests or more, and tiered cakes for 30 guests or more.

The wedding offer

The wedding and engagement page (Hochzeit, Verlobung) is short and to the point. It announces the Italian wedding cake as new (Neu!!!), available from 20 people, and tiered cakes (Mehrstöckig) from 30 people. The homepage shows both under separate headings, "Moderne Italian Wedding Cakes" and "Hochzeitstorten", alongside the other ranges. The wedding page gives the Italian wedding cake a starting price, printed as "ab Fr.300.-" (from 300 francs), but gives none for tiered cakes, so a tiered cake has to be quoted.

The two formats cover different weddings. A couple with a smaller celebration can start from the Italian wedding cake at 20 guests, while a larger reception points toward a tiered cake from 30. The page does not describe what either format looks like, what sizes are available above those minimums, or how the Italian wedding cake differs from a classic tiered one, so a couple should ask for pictures and details. The same menu places weddings and engagements together, so the formats also serve an engagement party.

The site's menu also links to a page on cake fillings (Tortenfüllungen), an information page (Infos), a delivery page (Lieferung), an about page (Über mich) and a page of Google reviews. None of that is repeated on the wedding page, so a couple should read those pages before writing and confirm what applies to wedding cakes.

What else the business makes

The homepage describes the business as a Konditorei with "handwerkliche Backkunst, die man schmeckt" (handcrafted baking you can taste). It says every creation, whether artistic cakes, fresh cakes or seasonal specialties, is made with passion and great care, from selected ingredients, its own recipes and modern creativity, and that cakes are designed individually and made with love. It describes turning wishes into unique sweet pieces, whether a birthday cake, an elegant wedding cake or a gift. Under the heading "Qualität aus Erfahrung" (quality from experience) it speaks of fresh specialties made every day that look good and taste memorable, and it signs off with the line "Konditorei mit Herz" (a pastry shop with heart).

The ranges listed are surprise cakes, cakes for children, birthday cakes, vintage cakes, modern slab cakes, number and letter cakes, gender reveal cakes, cupcakes and cake pops, baptism and communion cakes, and company events. There is also an online shop ("hier per Klick bestellen", order here with a click), a wish list and a customer account, so some products can be ordered directly on the site rather than by request. The cupcakes and cake pops could fill out a wedding dessert table, though the site does not present them as a wedding package.

For company events the page sets a minimum order of 30 people and lists its prices: 30 people (30 to 35 pieces) for Fr. 350, 40 people (40 to 50 pieces) for Fr. 420 and 50 people (50 to 65 pieces) for Fr. 500, as printed on the business's company events page. It also offers hand-decorated gingerbread for various occasions, with a minimum order of 50 pieces and a price depending on the work involved. For cakes with printed images, the page asks for high-resolution photos in jpg, png or pdf format, which is worth knowing if a couple wants a photo or monogram printed on a cake.

How to order

The contact page gives Natalia Stettler's name, the address in Regensdorf, the phone number 076 525 61 00 for calls and WhatsApp, and the email info@natistorten.ch. It adds a clear preference: "Schicken Sie mir am besten Ihre Anfrage per WhatsApp oder benutzen Sie Kontaktformular" (it is best to send your request by WhatsApp or use the contact form).

The contact form itself says a lot about how orders work. It asks for name, phone and email, the occasion (with Hochzeit, wedding, among the choices), a required pickup date (Abholdatum), the number of people, a file upload for images and a message. The guest number options in the form run from 10 to 12 people up to 25 to 30 people, so a larger wedding cake is something to describe in the message. The form asks for a pickup date rather than a delivery date; delivery has its own page in the menu.

A first WhatsApp message for a wedding is best kept practical: the date, which of the two formats is wanted, the number of guests, whether the cake will be collected or needs delivering and to where, a few inspiration images, and a request for the filling options. That gives Natalia what her own form asks for, plus the details the wedding page leaves out.

The business is on Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, LinkedIn and TikTok, and the Instagram account is the obvious place to look at past wedding cakes.

What the site does not settle

• Tiered cake prices. Only the Italian wedding cake has a starting price on the wedding page.
• Lead time. No ordering deadline is given for wedding cakes.
• Setup. Nothing on the wedding page says whether a tiered cake is delivered and set up at the venue.
• Tasting. No tasting is mentioned.
• Dietary options. The wedding, contact and company pages do not mention gluten-free, lactose-free, vegan or allergen options.
• Language. The site is in German. It does not say whether orders can be handled in English; WhatsApp, the preferred channel, at least makes it easy to share pictures and short written messages.
• Wedding designs. The wedding page shows no description of past wedding cakes.

Who it suits

Nati's Torten suits a couple marrying in or around Regensdorf and the Zurich area who wants a handmade cake from a small local business, with an entry point for smaller weddings through the Italian wedding cake. The preference for WhatsApp makes it easy to start a conversation with photos from abroad.

The caveats: the wedding page is very brief, tiered cakes are quoted individually, the ordering form is built around collection, and the site is in German. A couple should check the fillings and delivery pages, then confirm price, delivery and timing directly.
