Must Experience –

An online bakery managed by Poonam Maria Prem, offers customised cakes to suit your party theme exactly the way you want!

She started off with birthday cakes, but now has expanded her menu to include wedding cakes and even proposal cakes! “The idea is that you can eat the decoration as well. So I made sure everything on cake is edible†says Poonam.
The cakes at Zoey’s Bakehouse always comes with a fondant figurine – all made up with sugar. From people, cars, animals, musical instruments, to popular  cartoon characters. “I am growing as a baker and that is what I love about my work.

2) Concu Cakes
In French ‘Concu’, translates as crafted or designed and true to its name the cakes are designed with creativity and care. Concu is new Hyderabad based Start-up Started by Mr Sahil Taneja and his wife Swati Upadhyay, the concept of concu evolved over a period of time but its roots were planted firmly in England. The Chef (Sahil Tanejua)’s love for fine European pastry is reflected in his work.
Their outlet has a unique and impressive welcome with pictures of famous chefs from UK. Adding to that, the light in the weaved butte adds to the attraction at the entrance. This is basically an independent house, where the living room displays wide spread of delicacies with a small four people sit-out area adjacent to it and rest of the place is used for baking. The calming atmosphere makes you feel at home.
I have tried the chocolate cupcake and macrons and I must say the Chocolate Macrons here are the best!

Its easy to find the place – right next to Pizza Hut in somajiguda and nearby the Necklace Road MMTS station. The ambience is modern, bright and colourful with the Interiors being done in 2 colours mostly yellow and white. The display of all the donuts available sets the appetite going, just looking at it.
Dark Marble is my fav from their menu.
