We have ordered the cake for our daughter's fourth birthday from Cakes and Bakes. As we do not stay in India, we did not have a first-hand experience with any bakers in Kolkata. On top of that, we have been advised other bakers by our relatives. Nevertheless, we are used to some cake design abroad which were challenging to find in Kolkata until we came across Cakes and Bakes. We also did not want to jeopardize the taste for the sake of the design. Hence, we first ordered a smaller cake for our anniversary which preceded our daughter's birthday, where we really like the texture of the cake but I think we ordered the wrong flavour (it was good but not something everyone would appreciate). I must point out here that the order was very last minute and hence, there was not much time for the discussion about our expectations. Nevertheless, it was good enough to convince us to go with them for our daughter's birthday. Then, we took an appointment and visited them to discuss our expectations of the cake. Without being too ambition, we went with common flavours this time, i.e., butterscotch and chocolate, respectively, in different storeys of the cake. Our daughter wanted a unicorn on the cake and we zeroed on the design based on their suggestion and exhibition.
Now came the most important cake which our daughter was excited about for almost 3 months. I must say that the design of the cake was perfect without any flaws (they also promptly repaired all damaged caused in the transport). We were confident of the texture of the cake and we were not disappointed to say the least. Nevertheless, the highlight of the cake was its taste which was awesome and yet different from other bakers I would say. As the upper layers had butterscotch, many guests were served that in the beginning and they liked it. When they wanted a second piece, they got chocolate and then they could not decide which one was better. Both were incredibly good.
In summary, we loved the cake made and delivered by Cakes and Bakes and we would definitely recommend them to our friends and relatives. Nevertheless, I would suggest to make an appointment with them and discuss your expectations, which helped us a lot.
