Cakes are the panacea for any do
one can think of; birthdays, surprises, farewell parties or to just
satiate any sinful indulgence. It's the one thing that is promptly introduced to us by our folks on our first birthday and from what I have seen in my first birthday pix, mine sure looked mouth watering (that's also cause it was chocolate, need I say more?)and thankfully not over stuffed with butter icing.
I remember attending all those birthday parties as a kid; the hero of our evening, the one we all
waited for, was always the ‘Birthday Cake’. Often inspired from
our favourite cartoon characters ‘Tom and Jerry’, ‘Donald Duck', these excessively
creamy sponge cakes (which seem almost apologetically basic now) did the trick
of fascinating us. All of this was mostly ordered from our favorite cake shop, Monginis in Bombay. I guess they were the only cake
shop back then even flaunting a brand name and logo. Not sure though if they still exist or if they still
manage to sell their rose inspired pink cakes... Would surely be interesting to
find that out.
But what the hell, I am not here trying to suggest we fit in Monginis into your surprise or gift package, I promise. What I plan to offer today is by now am guessing, quite evident – yep, they are drool worthy sinful cakes but made to match your craziest imagination.

Handcuffed for life now - for a hen's party |
Designer cakes are a rage these days and rightly so. These cakes have huge potential of making an event seem special by just their sheer presence. Needless to say, their potential of adding to an occasion, the missing spark can't be undermined. Hope these give you a glimpse of what I can offer...

Clearly while mentioning those, I can’t dare to miss out on the delectable cupcakes which make for perfect sidekicks for most occasions. That too without compromising on their visual appeal.
And if any of the above is too
fancy to handle, then you could dig into some fresh fruit cuffins. A cross between cupcakes and muffins, these delightful treats are available in
exciting flavours of apple cinnamon, blueberry, strawberry, to name a few
(these cupcakes are currently available
Bombay only).

Congrats on the new blog S! I agree on the cake bit - from Disney or Marvel comic characters in the '80s, cakes have sure come a looong way. For Siddharth's first, we had a Tata Sky remote (the object of his affections) cake.
Cuffins? Sound interesting, would love to try 'em - where does one get them?
Happy blogging!
Thanks for stopping by Sneha and I would love to hear about Siddharth's reaction to that :) Also, lemme know if you want those cuffins. You could drop me a mail and I could arrange em for you.
Hey Sanghamitra the character cake idea is really nice...Now a days we stick to fancy chocolate cakes or tier cakes but we forget b'days r a good time to rekindle childhood memories and bring out the child in all of us...and the character cakes are a good start for that... :-)
