Got Cake?

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...

Time to open the Bubbly - celebrating 25 years
Show me the money - what better wishes for the hub?
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).

Hoping I have left you drawing up your list of excuses to shout out for one of these :)

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!

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... :-)
