Over a Century of Sweet Tradition – Since 1904

Temmerman Confiserie is more than just a candy shop — it’s a piece of Belgian heritage. Founded in 1904 by Bertha Moffaert and her husband, Temmerman has become the oldest sweet shop in Ghent still run by the same family. Today, the fifth generation proudly carries on the legacy of craftsmanship, quality, and authentic flavour.

Handcrafted with Innovation

Our recipes have been lovingly passed down from generation to generation. Our iconic cuberdons — crafted in a unique mask-shaped profile — are both a tribute to Ghent’s confectionery heritage and a smart innovation: the shape slows the crystallisation process, keeping the inside soft for longer. Made with natural ingredients such as gum arabic from the acacia tree, they are entirely free of gelatin.

More Than 140 Kinds of Sweets

Temmerman offers more than 140 types of sweets: from soft gummies to traditional liquorice, all free from artificial colourants and animal products. We also craft a refined selection of pralines, orangettes, chocolate marshmallows, and our legendary honey gingerbread — still made using the original 1904 recipe.

Gifts That Always Delight

Our beautifully arranged gift baskets, sweets boxes, custom packaging, and smuggler’s crates make the perfect gift for any occasion — from festive tables to corporate moments. Every creation reflects five generations of Belgian craftsmanship and family tradition.

Temmerman: Authentic, Artisanal & 100% Belgian

Today, you’ll find Temmerman not only in Ghent but also in other parts of Belgium and abroad. What remains unchanged is our passion for quality, our pride in tradition, and our mission to delight people with truly artisanal confections.
