I recently taste her Rasmalai and Mango Lassi Cake pods from Blow a Candle, and it was absolutely amazing! That was incredibly delicious — soft, fresh, and full of flavour. What I love most is how reliable and friendly the service is. It’s clear that this business really values quality and customer satisfaction. Highly recommend Shubhra for anyone looking for cakes that taste just as good as they look. Perfect for birthdays, special occasions, or even just a sweet treat!Posted on Fuka TongaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thank you so much for accommodating my last-minute request for both of our 2-tier Wiggles cakes and creating two beautifully made cakes for my twins’ first birthday celebration. I truly appreciate your help in bringing my vision to life — both cakes turned out exactly how I imagined, and they were such a special part of the day. Thanks again!Posted on Priyanshi GuptaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Shubhra is THE most amazing person to work with. She goes above and beyond to make you comfortable and make sure you receive the perfect order for your important day.

I tried macarons, cupcakes and a birthday cake , and safe to say, I’m now her regular 💗Posted on Regina Putri RereTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've tried your dessert and it's delicious! especially the mango ones, but for all i like it and the design is very interesting! I hope you will be more successful in the future!!Posted on sarena chanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had the biscoff and it was heavenly! Not too sweet, very well balanced in texture and flavour, and really well presented!Posted on Sadia KhanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Their cake is one of the bests that I have ever tested! I tried their chocolate and tiramisu cake and both of them were mind blowing. The chocolate cake was very rich and the sweetness was perfect. Tiramisu was moist and flavoured to the perfection. Their cakes simply made my day and J literally regretted not buying some more!
