Enhance your birthday mood adding the sweetness of customised birthday cakes of Kolkata


According to an anonymous writer “if we value food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.” We cannot win over any obstacles with an empty stomach. Food, clothing and shelter are the three pillars of living. Food is also another way of introducing your culture to the guests, showing love towards your family members and creating a jovial mood in an event or occasion.

Birthday is a special event in everyone’s life. We eagerly wait for our birthday to be celebrated in a grand way with our relatives and loved ones. Especially kids can not imagine their birthdays without decorative and preferred flavoured cakes. We can find our preferred customized birthday cake in Kolkata. With the term customise it is referred that you can select what flavour to use, colour, design and decoration.

Birthdays are always special for children as they expect gifts from their elders. The expectation level and excitement of children is higher than the elders. They tend to be so excited that they not only celebrate it in the school but also make sure they throw a birthday party at home as well. Birthdays are the most important time of the year, people are more excited than any other event and yet for some it is a sad day as they don’t want to grow up.

 Cakes are not only mend for birthdays, but also in Christian wedding cake plays an important role. Apart from Christian wedding, in foreign countries guests are always welcomed with a piece of cake. In Kolkata also customised birthday cakes or cakes for any event has become popular. We can find few bakeries, cake boutiques and also homemade cakes are also become famous now a day.

Predominant culture of Kolkata is Bengali and in this culture birthdays are not mandatorily celebrated with cakes. But the effect of foreign culture can be found everywhere in terms of food, fashion and lifestyle. So the popularity of customized cakes increased much interest at present.

Know the Difference between a Cake and a Cupcake


No matter what we all have a special craving for desserts. Cakes are a delightful and delicious confection enjoyed by all. Its taste is impeccable and is literally loved by all age groups. Cake is one such confection which is employed for its sweetness in almost every occasion. This rich dessert is devoured in every event and also adds a special charm to the celebration. 

From birthdays to anniversaries; from birthday celebrations to success parties, cakes hold a significant place in every celebration and in various events. However, with the passage of time, cakes have been replaced by what is better known as cupcakes. They are considered fancy and are just the right thing for a casual and a delightful treat to your taste buds. Moreover, the obvious difference between a cake and a cupcake is just a fine line what many would suggest. But indeed the difference is precise and tenuous.

Generally speaking, a cake and a cupcake consists of the same ingredients that includes employment of flour, eggs, baking powder, sugar, butter and flavors, perhaps, the most important thing in determining the flavor that is the taste of the confection. The difference is merely speaking the proportion of ingredients used in baking a cake or a cupcake. The quantity of a cake or a cupcake depends upon its shape, and design.

The most significant and notable difference in between a cake and a cupcake is its shape. The tools used for baking these sweet confections determine the time and efforts one would have to put into while baking either a cake or a cupcake. The size of the pans and its shapes also determines the duration it would take to bake. Where a cake takes about usually half an hour or more to bake completely, a cupcake on the other hand would just take 15 minutes and the benefit is that a mass of cupcakes can be baked together.

For the purpose of frosting a cake or a cupcake the requirements are the same techniques in general. However, cupcakes tend to look grimy and involve a lot of mess if frosting bags are not used for the purpose hence, making the process tedious and long. Again you can frost your confection with your favorite flavor.

Last, but not the least, as we have already mentioned, cupcakes have a smaller size, and this also makes it an edible that is easy to serve and consume. Portable in nature, it’s a good choice for travelers and if you are going around to some place where you supposedly might crave for something sweet. However, the traditional cakes as we all know are comparatively bigger in size. Even the smallest of pound available is big and can’t be consumed by one for sure.

To conclude, cupcakes are more versatile and are being widely accepted and incorporated in various events, whereas, a cake is perfect for traditional ceremonies and occasions with heavier celebration. Michelles Food is the best destination to pick your homemade customized cake in Kolkata.
