Introduction

When was the last time you did something fun on your friend’s birthday? More often than we realize, we get trapped in the rigmaroles of life so much so that celebrations become customary and real fun takes a backseat. If you too are feeling the heat of things and the pressure of life is getting to you, it’s time to unwind by planning a cool and memorable birthday for your girl best friend. How do you do that? Have you thought about slapping a cake on her face this birthday?

Creating a Smashing Birthday for Your Girl Friend

The pandemic has been tough on us all. But now, slowly things are improving, and we can move out of our homes. It is the perfect time to host a small party at your favourite bar or restaurant for your friend who deserves all the love and adulation that comes her way. But rather than doing the ordinary, plan a surprise (albeit a messy one) for her this time. Invite her to her favourite bar and when she is least expecting it, smash that cake on her face. The entire affair may get messy but will surely be fun. Since she wouldn’t be expecting anything of this kind, it will be quite a surprise for her. The look on her face would be enough, won’t it?

While smashing that cake on her face seems like a crazy but fun idea, you must choose the appropriate cake for the occasion. Since you would be smashing it on her face, the cake should not have any fillings and there shouldn’t be too many decorations on it.

In this blog, we shall be sharing a few tips on how to choose the right type of cake flavours for a birthday party when smashing it on your friend’s face is the main idea.

How to Choose the Right Cake Flavours

You will get different types of cakes for birthdays at your favourite cake shop. Online stores like Bakers’ Fun has a large repository of birthday cakes such as Barbie Cakes, Eggless Cakes, Fondant Cakes, Superhero Cakes and so on. What you choose for her birthday depends on the type of party you are planning. Since today we are talking about smashing cakes on a friend’s face, you need to carefully select a cake that is not too decorative or does not have too many fillings. Because if you choose such a cake, your birthday girl will surely have a tough time getting the cake off her face. This isn’t something you would want, right? So, choose the cake carefully.

At Bakers’ Fun, we have received many special orders for cakes to smash on people’s faces. Over the years, we have realised that there are three types of flavours that work best for such purposes. Today we shall talk about them.

• Vanilla Cake – The classic vanilla cake is the best choice for smashing cakes on someone’s face. It is the cake that isn’t messy and isn’t hard to remove too.

• Chocolate Truffle –Another customer favourite is the Chocolate Truffle that is a lot less messy and cumbersome to clean. Moreover, the awesome chocolaty flavour is always a delight.

• Red Velvet – If you want a little more drama to the entire episode, you can order a Red Velvet cake that can add a splash of colour along with flavours to the birthday party.

Conclusion

If you are planning something fun for your friend’s birthday, make sure you choose the cake carefully. At Bakers’ Fun, we have a wide range of flavours for you to choose from. We recommend you choose two cakes for the birthday party – one for slapping on your friend’s face and one for eating. Order your favourite flavours today.

Introduction

Cakes are an important part of any celebration. Whether it’s your wedding or spouse’s birthday, you must invariably have a cake for the occasion. Though we all consider cakes to be very important, we still hesitate to pay a lot for them – and quite rightly so. As customers, it is your right to think twice before placing any cake order. Whether it is a birthday cake you want to order or an anniversary cake, special occasion cake, or a celebratory cake – you should negotiate the price before placing an order.

6 Things to Keep in Mind While Negotiating The Price of a Cake

When you visit any bakery to place a cake order, you must negotiate the price before finalising anything.At Bakers’ Fun, this is something we always recommend to our customers, especially the new ones. We want you to keep coming back to us and for that to happen, you must trust us. We believe in negotiating cake prices so that when you take home your parcel, you are happy with the price you paid and the quality of cake you received.

While placing any cake order with us or another baker, do remember these 6do’s for cake price negotiation.

1. See Previous Work –If you are new to our store or are ordering from a bakery for the first time, see the different types of cakes we bake. This will give you a fair idea about our expertise and will also ensure you that we can make your dream cake comfortably. You can also visit our website to know more.
2. Ask for a Range of Flavours – There are more flavours in cake baking than your ordinary vanilla and chocolate. From butterscotch to blueberry, oreo cakes to white forest cakes – there are many new flavours to try out. If you are looking for something different, find out whether the baker has expertise using your preferred flavour.
3. Sample Taste Before Ordering – It is always a good idea to sample taste a few flavours before placing the final order, especially if you are ordering many cakes. This way you can be sure about what the baker can and will deliver.
4. Understand the Price Range – Different bakers offer competitive pricing. Some do so while compromising on the quality while others charge more because they use the best of ingredients. You must be able to distinguish between the two types before you place your order.
5. Understand the Complexity of the Cake–Are you ordering a simple cake with icing, or do you want fondant decorations on a multi-tier cake? If you want an elaborate decoration on your cake, be ready to pay the price.
6. Look for Bundle Offers –You can reduce the price of your order by getting things in a bundle. See if you can add other items to your cart as that can bring down your cost. Find out about the various offers run by the bakery.

Conclusion

If you are placing a big order, you must check the price and negotiate. Keeping the above six things in mind will help. Do not hesitate to spend some time at the bakery to know about the different flavours and designs. The more you know, the better will your choice be.

How to Choose a Wedding Cake

Selecting your wedding cake – whether pre-made or custom-made – should be a lovely event that adds to the excitement of your wedding planning. Choosing a cake, whether it is for a wedding or a 25th wedding anniversary, is a complex process. Starting from deciding the flavor to the dressing, the number of tiers, design, and size, there are various decisions involved.

We work closely with our couples at Bakers’ Fun to design something that expresses their wedding narrative. As a result, we’ve had the pleasure of accompanying numerous couples on their wedding journey.

Having made over 200,000 wedding cakes as of date, we can help you choose the perfect cake to make your big day special. If you’re planning your wedding, here are three simple tips to consider before ordering a wedding cake at Bakers’ Fun in Guntur.

Have a budget in your mind

The price of your wedding cake will depend on its design and the number of people to be served. Creating your cake takes a great deal of expertise and effort, and specific design aspects can take several days (or even months) to complete. As a result, many bakeries charge a flat rate based on the number of slices the cake will serve.

More complex decoration ideas will increase the expense. For example, buttercream frosting is more expensive than fondant frosting. The more time and effort it takes to make the cake, the more the cost. You must pay for the cake designer’s time if you want complex molded forms, vivid colors, or handcrafted sugar flower decorations.

So, have a thorough discussion with your baker to see if the wedding cake fits your budget. Understand their base charges, the materials they use, how they will create the look, the possibilities of creating it, and the final pricing and look of your cake.

Don’t choose a flavor based on what everyone else wants – choose what you, as a couple, wish to have

Instead of attempting to please everybody, pick the tastes you enjoy the most as a couple. The wedding cake represents your personality. Your wedding will celebrate you and your partner and the love you have and share it with your guests. Flavors, textures, and aromas generate lasting impressions, evoke memories, and inspire new ones. You are not required to follow trends; instead, choose unique flavors that you enjoy.

So, unless you’re a fan of vanilla cake with vanilla icing, try something new. You might want to make it seasonal: for example, choose fruity, refreshing flavors for the summer. Another idea is to have distinct tastes for each tier. This increases the likelihood that there will be something for everyone. Also, think about the colors used. Your guests may be hesitant to eat a cake with green or blue icing since it will stain their tongues.

• Choose a cake based on your wedding style story

Your wedding brings together many distinct components, carefully selected to create a story. One of those aspects is your wedding cake. You would want it to go in with the rest of the tale. Other aspects, like location, flowers, and theme, usually form the foundations of the story. So it helps to finalize those specifics before designing your cake.

Select the theme, colors, and other components of your wedding before deciding on the general cake design. The cake should complement the overall theme of the event. For example, use flowers from the wedding to decorate the cake or add a simple design from the wedding attire on the wedding cake.

Also, consider how you’d prefer the cake to be presented. What other items, like linens, cake stands, flowers, etc., would you want to include in the display? Additionally, remember to not repeat the engagement cake.

Complicated cakes may or may not be delivered in their final form. If necessary, provide time and space for assembly. It’s also possible that refrigeration is essential.

Always remember, your wedding cake should feel like an integral part of your wedding. So, are you planning for your big day? If you have picked a wedding theme, it is now time to think about your cake with Bakers’ Fun. We will help you choose and design the perfect wedding cake, or even some exciting anniversary cake to make your journey sweeter!

Explore our range of wedding cakes and place your order with us.

FAQ’S

1. What cake should I choose with a limited budget?

For a limited budget, you can spring for a cake with just 1–2 tiers for the ceremony. Choose an equally tasty sheet cake to serve the guests. Simply ensure that the design of your wedding cake matches the cake served at the wedding party.

2. When should I order my wedding cake?

Selecting and ordering your cake takes about 3–6 months from finalizing the design in your mind, choosing the right baker, sourcing the ingredients, etc. The baker needs to be informed far in advance for baking the perfect cake. If you compromise on timing, you must be ready to do the same for quality.

3. What frosting should I choose for a wedding in the summer?

Account for the weather when you order a wedding cake. Fondant, rather than mousse, whipped cream, or buttercream, is preferable for warm-weather weddings since it does not melt easily. If you want your cake to look smooth, go for fondant.

Proper sanitation is a must in bakeries and other foodservice establishments in the industry. Now with the COVID-19 virus, the stakes are even higher. It is crucial to implement stringent and effective sanitation procedures to keep everyone safe, assured, and most of all, happy!

With three decades of experience in the baking business, we, at Bakers’ Fun, Guntur exercise diligent hygiene and sanitation measures to ensure everyone’s safety. We have realized that while it may seem like too much work, maintaining your bakery kitchen will become second nature with consistency and diligence.

Here are some tips and factors that will facilitate a better baking experience and, in turn, help deliver top-quality and hygienic bakes to your customers.

Personal Hygiene 101

All bakery personnel should maintain excellent personal hygiene. Hands are probably one of the most common sources of infection in the food industry. That’s why it is imperative to wash them thoroughly with soap and water.

Frequent washing of hands before performing any task is the first barrier against the spread of any infection. In addition, bakers should wear a clean uniform and keep hair away with the help of a hair net. Wearing gloves when needed and removing hand jewelry like rings, bracelets, and watches while at work are other critical sanitation practices that your establishment should follow.

Wash utensils and surfaces frequently

Wiping kitchen countertops and surfaces is one of the most basic and essential kitchen sanitation rules. Clean them with hot water every day, and with detergent once weekly for a sparkly clean kitchen and to stop the spread of bacteria. The same goes for your kitchen utensils, chopping boards, and sinks!

Equipment maintenance and hygiene

A bakery needs an array of equipment that speeds up and enhances production, and it is vital to maintain them and keep them clean. Meticulously clean all surfaces and parts that come in contact with your ingredients, so no food is left inside. Deep-cleaning once a month is advisable in case you miss out on a few spots.

• The right way to store food

This may sound like an obvious thing to do, but it’s most often neglected in the bakery‘s fast-paced working environment.

Always check and maintain the correct temperature of your refrigeration and freezing units. Keep your fridge and freezer clean daily to prevent contamination of the food. Use proper storage techniques while storing food, from cling wraps to sealed containers, and immediately dispose of expired food.

• Keep pests away

Breeding of common kitchen insects and animals such as rats, mice, and cockroaches will cause severe hygiene issues. Ensure your bakery is sealed to keep the pest and animals at bay. Follow all basic sanitation measures as we discussed, and in case of a pest infestation, laying traps and pest control is the way to go!

•  Your bakery should be a visual treat

 Walking into a clean and tidy bakery is huge marketing plus for you. Keep your display fridge clean, and ensure the furniture and all visible surfaces are well dusted. A well-lit and ventilated bakery is a great way to motivate your employees and create a pleasant customer space.

• Spot cleaning

 This is crucial. Maintaining a tidy kitchen with excellent sanitation is all about spot cleaning. Keep a roll of tissue paper handy to immediately mop up those spills and grease for a spotless kitchen.

• Dispose of your waste, properly

Diligently throw the scrap, wrappers, and any other garbage in the designated dustbins for proper recycling. Your bins must be appropriately cleaned and washed well after each disposal to avoid flies, cockroaches, and mice and keep the funky smells away. A high-strength plastic bin, preferably with a closed lid, is ideal for a bakery kitchen.

Besides these factors, as a bakery owner or manager, you should be aware of local municipal laws for sanitation measures and educate your staff on the same.

By following a proper sanitation schedule and incorporating hygiene measures, you ensure a clean working environment for yourself and your staff. It, in turn, reflects on your final product and customers!

Bakers’ Fun has fulfilled the confectionery needs of over 5 million customers with our premium quality and strict adherence to hygiene and safety. Here are some delicious-looking cakes that we can create for you and your loved ones to enjoy any special event – safely.

FAQs

Why is sanitation important while baking?

Just like any food preparation, baking involves a lot of handling of raw materials. Sanitation ensures all surfaces are cleaned regularly before food preparation.

It reduces the chances of pathogens and microbes from migrating from an unclean surface to equipment or the consumer goods themselves. It also prevents allergens from contaminating foods that should strictly be allergen-free.

. What happens if a bakery kitchen is not cleaned regularly?

Bakery kitchens involve the handling of hot surfaces, liquids, etc. every day. If not cleaned regularly, these kitchens can present severe health hazards. Oil or liquid spills may cause slipping and injuries. Oil build-up around stoves or food residue in unclean ovens can cause hazardous fires that may be difficult to extinguish.

What are some tips for personal hygiene in a bakery?

Aside from wearing a hairnet and removing all accessories, keep your body clean. Trim your nails and cover your armpits while working in the kitchen. As a bakery owner, ensure your establishment has hot showers for your personnel to clean up before and after duty.

When it comes to pleasing your taste buds, you want to pick the best your money can buy. How can you zero in on the best pastry shop that fulfills everything you’ve been looking for?

How to locate the finest pastries in your area

Bakers’ Fun in Guntur has been in the baking industry for the past three decades. With our experience of what makes cakes and pastries delightful and memorable, we have narrowed down the selection criteria to a few suggestions. Keep these in mind when hunting for the best local pastries.

1.      Try looking for bakeries that have a high number of reviews.

When deciding on the best pastry shop, make sure to take into account its reviews. Besides the product catalog, learn from the numerous individuals who have purchased cakes from the accessible stores in your area. Research deep, and select a cake business that has received a high number of positive, authentic feedback from previous customers.

2. See the average rating of the reviews on the bakery

Ratings significantly impact how businesses operate. People are increasingly relying on the internet to find genuine information in the digital age. Purchasing decisions are made regularly, and pre-purchase research is primarily done online.

Much of that study is based on ratings. Negative ratings have proven highly effective in tarnishing a company’s reputation. They make potential consumers less trusting of a company. It is difficult to recover trust and rebrand when you have umpteen bad ratings.

Moreover, positive ratings provide the best answer for its consumers’ demands. They also inform Google and other search engines that the business is the most excellent fit for a specific user query. So, automatically, the best brand will reach the top. Consider an average of the positive and negative feedback to make your decision.

3. Check if the reviews are the latest.

You must check the most relevant and latest reviews of any pastry shop. These tell a lot about the business operating in the present context. Do not blindly trust past reviews or reviews from previous years. The shop may have seen quality fluctuations, changes in staff, products, etc.

Also, ensure that the reviews are genuine. You do not want to believe in fake reviews and visit the pastry shop. Check the tone and how each review is written. A strangely positive or cliched review in a sea of negative feedback may not be necessarily authentic.

4. Read the reviews to see if they are related to the products you want to buy from the bakery.

Product reviews are, without a doubt, the most effective approach to alleviate buyer worries about a product. They affect the majority of purchasing decisions. More than staff, feedback from other customers like you can assist you in thoroughly understanding the product before purchase. Check and analyze the product and shop reviews and buy the select products accordingly.

5. Check multiple review websites to see the consistency of the bakery.

This is crucial: don’t rely on a single website to check reviews. Reviews from a particular website may be biased. So, check multiple websites and compare the overall reviews of the pastry shop. You can then get a fair view of the establishment as a whole, and make your buying decision.

When picking the finest local pastry shop to buy pastries from the variety available, be sure to assess how long a cake store has been in business. Being in the baking tradition has a lasting impact on quality. Local pastry shops that are praised by those living around the area, must have been in business for a long time. They would have delivered top-quality products consistently to become household names.

You can always consider Bakers’ Fun, Guntur for your favorite bakery options. We ensure that we offer our 5 million (and counting) customers the freshest and the best bakery products. Check our range of cakes, pastries, and cupcakes, serving every occasion, and satisfy your cravings!

FAQs

What are the kinds of bakery products?

Traditionally, there are five kinds of products at most bakeries: bread, bagels, donuts, pastries, and pies.

Which is the largest bakery in India?

India’s biggest bakery chain is 7th Heaven. Within 8 years, it has built over 200 stores across 75 cities in 21 states today.

Are online reviews the only way to look for good pastry shops?

Not at all. When looking for great pastry shops, consider word-of-mouth recommendations too. Seek out opinions from your neighbors or family, especially if you’re shopping for a special occasion.

Make your final choice based on a mix of online reviews and personal suggestions.

Consumers who get cheated by companies know how terrible it feels to be duped by people you trust. If some face heavy financial losses, some lose their trust over their favorite eatery or bakery. There are so many kinds of scammers continuously trying to get the better of a customer by selling them sub-standard products and goods. As customers, you have to continuously stay vigil so that you don’t get cheated. This you can do by keeping yourself updated about the types of scams that can happen and by knowing how to protect yourself.

What are Scams in Bakery?

Before we go into this entire scheme of scams and fraudulent practices, let’s first try to know what you should expect from a standard bakery.

A bakery should be serving you fresh cakes, designer cakes, multi-flavored cakes. Since nowadays cakes are part and parcel of every celebration, the demand for bakeries has increased. But in the haste of selling more cakes, many bakeries take the dishonest path. How do they do so?

They use rotten ingredients, they don’t store food properly, they don’t care about hygiene during the baking process. Today I shall be talking about all these things so that as a customer you know how you may be cheated by a bakery.

But, before we get into that, you must also understand that not all bakeries do this. There are many (in fact innumerable) bakeries that tread the honest path and always serve premium quality cakes. Since they never waiver from their ethics, they continue to prosper. A bakery may get away by duping its customers one time, but they can’t get away every time.

Even in these modern times, honest remains the best policy.

How To Safeguard Yourself from Bakery Scams?   

The question that you must be asking yourself is how do I safeguard from bakery scams? It is a valid question to ask. After all, you are just a customer, not a food critic who can identify bad products easily. But if you know about some common indicators that tell you whether the bakery is scamming you or not, you willnot be duped easily.

• Duping in The Name of Low Price –
• Customers looking for cheap cakes may easily be taken for a ride by a bakery. In the name of selling cakes at a low price, many bakeries use stale eggs and compromise in using other ingredients while baking. They hardly maintain hygiene in their kitchens or use clean utensils while baking. While all this may reduce the price, bakeries do so at the cost of your health.

• Bakeries Misusing Labels to Increase Price –

Nowadays many bakeries have found an innovative way to dupe their customers. They tag their cakes as being ‘artisan’, ‘handmade’, ‘natural’ to make them popular. They use these tags without really meeting the required standard. If a bakery must use natural ingredients for baking, they must hand-select each ingredient, know the difference between organic and inorganic products, and so on. Unfortunately, many bakeries randomly use these tags without meeting the required standards.

• Changing Labels to Sell Old Products –It is not always easy for bakeries to sell all the cakes off their counters. To deal with these leftover cakes, some bakeries change the food labels, repurpose them as fresh ones, and put them back at the counter. This is wrong on many levels.

Conclusion

At Bakers’ Fun, we believe that duping our esteemed customers will not take us far. Instead, we try to continuously evaluate our standards to see that our customers are getting the best quality bakes. If you haven’t tried our wide range of cakes yet, try them today. From anniversary special cakes to birthday cakes, to other Occasion Cakes – we have it all.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I Buy Cakes at Low Price?

Yes, you may buy them at a low price but beware of the quality. Many bakeries compromise on quality by using sub-standard ingredients to reduce the cost. If you want a low-priced cake, go for a smaller-sized one but of premium quality.

How To Know If the Cake on the Bakery’s Shelf is Fresh or Not?
Some telling indicators about freshness are the condition of the fondant or icing over the cake. If they look dried out and lackluster, the cake is probably old. Alternatively, you can always ask the seller and expect them to truthfully tell you how old the cake is.

Before ordering cakes online, customers prefer to check online reviews and recommendations. Even if it’s a local bakery you want to order from, checking out the public perception about them is important. After all, you don’t want the most important part of your celebrations to be ruined because you ordered the cake from the wrong bakery, do you?

But can you trust all online reviews found on the Internet? Unfortunately, you cannot. There are fake reviews all over review platforms and websites. As a customer, how do you spot the difference between a fake review and a real review? Today we shall talk about some telling indicators about fake reviews and how you can spot them.

Where Do Fake Reviews Come From?

Disgruntled customers, unsatisfied former employees, service providers, and vendors themselves often write fake reviews. They do this to improve their brand’s (in this case their bakery’s) visibility. Since customers are automatically attracted to sites with better reviews, many self-publish under fake names to increase traffic. Sometimes they take help from their family members and friends offering them freebies in exchange for a few positive words.

While these tricks are usually employed to receive positive reviews, sometimes personal grudges force people to write unnecessary bad reviews. Though the bakery may be selling quality cakes, a disgruntled customer or an unhappy employee can post negative reviews harming the company’s goodwill.

How to Spot a Fake Review?

As a concerned customer, it is important that you identify fake reviews so that you can trust what you are reading. Though it may seem impossible to sift out the fake ones from the real ones, in reality, it isn’t very difficult to do so. All you need to do is look out for the following things.

• Are There Too Many Brand Mentions?
  If you are checking out reviews on independent platforms and notice that reviews have too many brand mentions, you better be skeptical about their authenticity. Also, notice if the reviewer has posted about more than one bakery in a short span of time. Such reviews are likely paid and thus fake.
• How Is It Written?
  A review should not be written by a professional writer. This means that the language used in the review must be simple. The words and phrases used should be used by an average person.
  For a cake review, the reviewer should talk about softness, lightness, taste, and decoration. Not the oven settings, the batter mixture, icing consistency, and so on. These are things concerning a professional baker, not a regular customer of a bakery.
• Are There Specifics Mentioned?
  Check the details mentioned in the review. In a genuine review, specific details will be mentioned. Why did someone like the cake? How was the decoration? Did the bakery meet their expectations and so on? How was the ordering process or delivery system? These things should be mentioned in a review.
  But if the review is generic, it can mean that the person didn’t taste the cake and is just writing about cakes in general.
