Baking a cake versus buying a cake

So, you have invited your friends for a party and they are obviously expecting you to bake – a

cake and other munchies. If there is a small group and the products are limited, you may just

pull it off and we are not talking quality- unless you are a 3 hatted chef. Either you choose to

spend more time in kitchen whipping out some delicious or even average bites or entertain

your guests and have good time while your order is delivered right at your doorstep.

Often, one believes that cooking something at home over ordering from out will reduce costs

but what we fail to include is the man hours and effort and trails and errors of such an advent.

So what’s the easy way to buy a cake?

There is no easy way unless you stay in an area full of great restaurants and bakeries. In today’s

day and age, purchasing a cake online is matter of seconds; imagine how easy it would be to

purchase some cake that would take at least 2 hours to bake. Purchasing a cake online means

spending a minimum of 3 minutes with a great shopping site to a maximum of 10 minutes with

someone having extremely poor user experience. Nonetheless, they are nothing compared to

the 2 hours you’d spend baking not to mention the turnout is always positive. Also, many cake

shops offer a lot more than just cakes; you are sorted for the party in minutes. While you enjoy

quality time with your guests, leaving the cake shop to worry about the quality and timely

dispatch, your only headache is serving. Everything can be ordered in minutes if your

neighboring cake shop has a website and enables customers to purchase online. It is easy and a

matter of minutes with the only drawback being you can’t taste it unless you already know how

it tastes.

For instance, there are a variety of cake shops in Mumbai having an online store and most of

these bakeries are reputed ones so quality is assured. However, the city being as big as it, these

bakeries do not offer deliveries all over the city or charge exorbitant fees which might be a turn

off. Many bakeries are concentrated in certain areas and it is easy for instance to purchase cake

online in Lokhandwala or to purchase cake online in Andheri (W) or even the town side thus,

making it difficult for others to enjoy the services.
