It’s almost time for Diwali which means it’s also time to gorge on all those sweets and festival delicacies. From those warm gulab jamuns and laddoos to the crunchy karanjis, chaklis and sev, everything is relished with an unparalleled enthusiasm during this time. But to add to the festive fervour this Diwali, all you need to do is order a delicious cake. Not just any cake, but a gorgeous festive cake having the traditional flavours of Indian mithais and desserts. 

Sounds interesting? If yes, here are some special cakes that you must order to make your festivities truly memorable – 

1. Toasted Coconut Cake

Since so many of our Indian sweets are made out of coconuts, what is better than having a rich yet light cake full of toasted coconut shavings? This cake has a natural vanilla icing, having layers consisting of fresh coconut flavours.  

2. Ladoo Cake 

The only thing better than a ladoo is a laddoo cake! This delectable dessert is for all those who have an extra sweet-tooth and just can’t get enough of this beloved sweet. Imagine a nice, fluffy cake topped off with colourful boondis. This cake will definitely be the talk of the town!

If you crave warm, hot jalebis frequently, then a luscious rose flavoured cake topped with a saffron and cardamom icing and loads of fresh jalebis is the cake of your dreams. What can be more heavenly?
