Apart from spreading the joy of the season by making some of the best cakes in South India, ‘Ribbons & Balloons’ outlets have a wide range of delectables to choose from. The variety of cakes available at the outlets speaks volumes as quality meets quantity.
For instance, the ‘Sinful Collection’ is a raging hit amongst the youth who just want to indulge. The ‘Very Berry’ cake from the Sinful Collection is also a preferred choice while celebrating a very Merry Christmas.
While most of the Ribbons & Balloons client base suggest the marble cakes and plum muffins to go along with Christmas time tea, some of the clients think that it is the walnut brownie that evokes the true sense of Christmas. Considering the richness in every bite, it could be agreed upon that each one of the client is right.
‘Kudla’ (the city of Mangaluru) is one of those cities where bakeries and cake shops bake really delectable cakes and confectionary. Several big bakeries including Ribbons & Balloons use imported flour of the best quality to make the best cakes available. Some cakes are even factory made while ensuring quality products that appeal both to the mind and the soul.
The eggless cake trend has caught on in these cities as well so as to cater to a wide variety of cake lovers. Ribbons & Balloons has strict quality assurance when it comes to making hygienic eggless cakes. When the price and taste of cakes with and without eggs are the same, a hassle-free experience is a guarantee. Although, if the eggless cakes is chosen, one can watch out for the red dot or make a mention about it before placing the order.
Talking about less and eggless, there is the sugarless cake. Surprisingly enough, these cakes are perfect to soothe that sweet tooth yet; the bakers claim that there is no sugar in it at all. Of course, it is not as sweet as the sugar-coated ones but it does not deprive the folks who are denied sugary delights owing to their fitness or health.
The wide range and variety of cakes available in the coastal region of Karnataka make it special every Christmas. Not only the coast, several towns and cities tucked away amidst or beyond the Western Ghats like Belvai, Ujire, Bajagoli, Beltangady, Puttur, Kaikamba, Karkala and Moodbidri have Ribbons & Balloons outlets too.

Manipal is an education hub located east of Udupi that has a good number of cake orders on a daily basis. Be it birthday cakes, customized cakes or party cakes but seldom wedding cakes, because hey that is how students roll.

A good plum cake is not just any cake, it is an emotion in this region. Butter, raisins, a sprinkle of ‘tutti frutti’ and a dash of rum are the magical ingredients that go into the making.
