Murit Sonneveld-Mak

Pâtissier-in-Residence, The Dessert Room

​

Murit is the founder, sugar artist, and head baker behind Monarch.M, a Den Haag-based cake and confectionery studio known for highly detailed edible art and bold, expressive flavor.

​

Her work is rooted in craftsmanship. Every cake and dessert is made by hand, in small quantities, using carefully selected ingredients, with equal attention given to appearance, texture, and taste. For Murit, a dessert should never be beautiful at the expense of flavor; it should be something you admire first and remember because of the way it tastes.

​

Over the years, Monarch.M has built a reputation for bespoke cakes, celebration pieces, piped floral work, and handcrafted desserts made to order. Murit also teaches a wide range of cake decorating and pastry workshops, sharing the techniques and experience she has developed through years of working as both baker and sugar artist.

​

At The Dessert Room, Murit serves as Pâtissier-in-Residence, creating and developing desserts for the tasting menu while helping shape the ongoing pastry identity of the experience.

​

Her approach fits naturally with The Dessert Room: technically precise, visually distinctive, generous in flavor, and always focused on giving guests something they have not quite experienced before.

​

Based in Den Haag, Murit continues to develop Monarch.M alongside her work with The Dessert Room, bringing the same combination of artistry, precision, and imagination to both.
