A Brief History

Personal memories with cake
Cakes have been my personal favorite and I find great pleasure in selecting or customizing cakes for my near and dear ones for making their special occasions more memorable and pleasant. I have attached pictures from my photo gallery of some of the most special cakes I have seen which are either being customized as per my choice or being seen on other occasions.
These pictures include special memories of celebrating my daughter's birthday, saying sorry to my wife, celebrating wedding anniversaries, wishing Karwa Chauth(Indian festival) to my wife, home-baked cake topped with mangoes, space-themed cake, unicorn-themed cake, and so on.
I personally believe that the time invested in selecting a cake is worth it when we see the reflection in the form of happiness in the eyes of the person for whom we are ordering it.
Why Cake

In fact, apart from celebrations, if you find yourself craving something delightful, consider treating yourself to a slice of cake.
