Five places for fabulous cakes

Special occasions call for special cakes. Don’t you agree? If you are tired of ordering the same vanilla or black forest cake every time there’s something to celebrate, we’re here to save the day with our recommendations. Here are five amazing businesses you can try to shake things up. They have a nice line up of cakes that will leave you spoilt for choice.

Kharayo Bakes

From fresh gooey brownies and cheesecakes to energy bars and truffles, there’s a lot you can choose from when you are in the mood for something sweet. They take online orders and are quick with deliveries but if you want to check their range of goodies, they have an outlet at Hanuman Dhoka in Kathmandu as well. We have heard that you can never have enough of their milk cake and cheesecake.

Cakes Galore

If you want fancy party cakes, for birthdays, weddings, or anniversaries, look no further than Cakes Galore. Their tiered cakes are such stunning pieces and, though you might not want to cut (and ruin) them, they taste as wonderful as they look. They make customized cakes so you can get that ‘perfect’ cake of your dreams. However, you have to order well in advance so this can’t be an option if you’re planning something last minute.

UG Cakes

This could be your go-to place for cute bento box cakes that you can have all on your own or share with a friend. They have a wide range of flavors and the designs are simple and classy. They also take orders for bigger cakes but you could also create a neat line up or cluster of their bento cakes to serve at a large party. You also have the option of becoming their college brand ambassador or enrolling yourself in a bakery training course. This is one local business that seems to be taking its work quite seriously and trying to do as much as it can besides serving yummy desserts.

Dessert First

Available only on pre-order, Dessert First has a variety of cakes, desserts, and chocolates. A few regulars vouch for the quality of their ingredients. They say it’s the absolute best. The designs are elaborate and the cakes melt in your mouth. It’s quite literally a slice of heaven, says one customer adding she will never order from elsewhere. They are also prompt with deliveries though you can choose to pick up your order as well if you are more comfortable with that.

Sesame Bakery and Coffee

A quaint little place offering coffee and cakes, what more could you want? Located in Bakhundol in Lalitpur, Sesame Bakery and Coffee is a relatively new place serving a range of breads and cakes. Their mousse cakes are quite popular and so are their macarons that they claim to make from high quality ingredients. The café in itself is a nice place to hang out alone or with friends and indulge in some sweet treats.
