I am sure this certainly is going to be a YUMMY Mouth-watering review ………… A review on Cakes N’ Bakes by a MS member (about this scrumptious place, it is most unfortunate that there is just only one review on the MS) brought back all the lovely days I had spent with my college friends at this Shop. But it was highly disappointing to find the one and only review by the MS member to be very brief with absolutely no details on the luscious “CAKES N’ BAKES” !!
Well, to begin with, I graduated at the most popular M.O.P Vaishnav College for Women, which is supposed to be having the maximum number of popular women who are at present so famous in different fields. Those 3 most-lovely years of my graduation are evergreen and unforgettable in my life because of our frequent visits to the nearby Cakes N’ Bakes Shop.
My college was in Nungambakkam and a branch of Cakes N’ Bakes shop is very close-by. All the 3 years of my college days, we all frequently used to visit the Shop and for anything & everything we used have treats given by each other. Any treat to the friends, soon after the college gets over, without any second thoughts we used to visit this Shop…….If a girl wears a new dress then she has to give us all a Treat……. You know, what all would be our reasons to give a treat to the friends ? Don’t laugh at this, but well, here they are - If a girl comes to the college finishing all her homeworks, then treat, if we get scolding from our Ma’m, then treat to friends, if we are punished for our non-stop talking what else but treat!!! Even many times after being scolded by our Ma’m for our continuous chatting, we would celebrate the day with a treat in Cakes N’ Bakes.
…….Yeah, we were so attached with Cakes N’ Bakes!!! Those days are ever unforgettable for all of us. Our gang was known to all the staff at Cakes N’ Bakes Shop. In fact I have literally seen many of their customers complaining that the staff at the Shop are very aloof & unsociable, our gang was beyond all these basic behaviour. To be frank, I’ve heard some of their staff openly informing us that their monotony vanishes by the time our gang enters the Shop!!!
Well, about this wonderful unforgettable Shop, Cakes 'n' Bakes, is the Food Processing Division of Artee Group. Of course Artee Group is well known for its Fresh baked products which supply excellent wide ranging varieties of Breads, cakes, pastries, cookies, pies etc. Their baked products are prepared in a very hygienic way which is their Highlight!! The Shop which we used to visit had another specialty. The varieties in display on a day would not be displayed in the same way the very next day……. They present their displays in different varied ways which makes the Shop more attractive.
The Shop has a beautifully decorated Hall almost resembling the Pizza Shops (for example the Domino’S) where you have glass tables and chairs neatly arranged and the hall being frivolously air-conditioned with the pleasant fragrance of the fresh being-baked breads. Of my experience, I could say that the ambience is quite pleasurable and you would get a peaceful mindset once you enter the Shop.
The Cakes N’ Bakes Shop offers excellent varieties of sweet-smelling cakes, pastries, cookies etc. In fact apart from the usual bakery stuff, they also offer smaller-sized Pizzas – but these are not the Pizzas stuff offered by the Pizza Hut or the Pizza Corner. The one offered by this Shop is just with some fresh vegetables, onion, capsicum and tomatoes’ topping and are toasted in the Oven.
I still remember a lot of their lovely mouthwatering varieties of items. It is most unfortunate that after my graduation, I could hardly visit the Shop due to its proximity from my home and office etc. and may be also I have got hold of other similar cakeshops & Pizza corners in the vicinity of my dwelling.
Their Cakes are so excellent and the following varieties trigger an obsession in us :
• Chocolate covered strawberries
• Triple choco
• Super choco
• Welcome home
• Football
• Horse track
• Spartan
• Multi-flower
I used to remember even many of their other varieties of Cakes but it’s been really many years now and the time factor has made me forget them.
Their cookies are really good, and especially they offer a wide-range of cookies products like the Oatmeal Raisin, Dad's Favorite, Chocolate w/ Walnuts, Molasses, Peanut Butter etc. Of these, the Peanut Butter is tremendous and the taste of it lasts in our tongues longer. They also have the usual stuffs of Sugar cookies and melted chocolates.
The Pastries are not in any way inferior, the varieties are so lovely and some of the most prominent of their varieties are the Strawberry Cream Cheese, Chocolate Strawberries, Pecan Roll, Mini Cannoli etc.
Just like the most popular Adyar Bakery at Chennai, this Shop also offers the common favourites like the Cupcakes, Large Cinnamon Roll, Cinnamon Twist, the Cannolis and the Croissants.
Cakes N’ Bakes also extensively offers different varieties of PIES like the Apple, Cherry, the Frosted Blueberry / Cherry and the Frosted Lemon varieties.
I know that those of you who have been reading this review of mine have already started mouth-watering and what are you waiting for ??????????? Right away join hands with your family / friends and go the nearby Cakes N’ Bakes Shop and enjoy a magnificent FEAST at its beautiful & calm environment.
Hope you had liked my review. If you had, please do provide me with your valuable ratings / comments to enable me to review my review. To be frank, the fact that many of the MSians who read my reviews are not rating or commenting on my reviews is really sickening and the main objective of being encouraged & remarked by my dearest friends is not accomplished and I feel too incomplete without ur feedbacks.
Thanks for all your valuable time.
Cheers!!!!!!!!
