Are there any REALLY good cake stores in Nairobi?
« on: September 18, 2014, 05:30:12 PM »
I'm curious because I wasn't able to find a really good one. If know, please share. I'd like to order some proper cakes and donate it to places.

You bake your own bread?

You mean like mendazi?

Gosh wouldn't it be nice if there was a cake shop like this in Kenya?

I've ordered this cake many times. Absolutely delicious.



A cake like this could eliminate tribal tension.

Best cake I ever ate was at a birthday party for our primo heady. The whole school got small piece each and a soda. Maybe it tasted so good coz it was so small and served at 11am, hunger peak for tots.

Yes I love it. :D I made a hundred cupcakes for Brynn and PJ. I just wouldn't want to run a cake business, too hard. I can bake all day though. I guess I meant someone specialised in making cakes. That's not the same as baking at home.

Brayo, your mama is not reading nipate you can relax lol.

By the way veri have u ever made a tres leche cake? It's really good but packed with cals. Other than that an ordinary coffee cake topped with vanilla icecream can taste better than most cakes...
