Cake a Walk to this place

So Ka wants me to write restaurant reviews. Thanks,Ka, I was gonna! For a hopeless foodie like me, it just gives me an excuse to try out new places ;) What say I start with something sweet today?

Name of eatery: Cake Walk.
Category: Cakes, pastries, pies, quiches and the likes.
Location: 100 feet road, Indira Nagar. A hop, skip and jump from CMH road junction.

The first time I noticed this place, I was intrigued, cos there was (is?) this cake shop called Cake Walk in Chennai (Montieth Road near Cisons plaza) that used to be my favourite haunt when I lived there. So the first thing I do is walk into the 100 feet road joint and ask them if they are the branch of the Montieth Rd cake shop.. and turns out it is!!Was almost as thrilled as one would be on meeting an old friend :)

If you have a sweet tooth, this place is a must-visit. Their cakes are the softest in the world (yup I've tasted ALL the cakes in the world :-p) - baked to perfection, topped with a generous layer of not-too-sweet cream that melts in your mouth, and decorated with cherries, nuts, slices of fruit or chocolate chips.
My favorite is the "Fantasy" section - Sinful slices cut out from a dome shaped cake - in Strawberry, Pineapple, Orange and Butterscotch flavours...sluurrp! Believe me, with every bite into the layers of cake and cream, you'd find yourself grinning wider and wider with joy :)

They also have a decent spread of bakery stuff like breads, cookies, quiches, pies, rolls etc. and an assortment of "home made" (whose home, I wonder?) chocolates in interesting shapes. The seating is mostly open air , a perfect joint for a get together with friends on a perfect Bangalore evening!

The next time you eat out at 100 feet road, drop in at Cake Walk for dessert, and let me know how you liked it!
