So Firstly I get all sort of calls to place orders , to ask what flavours we offer at Cake Bites , queries on fondant and non fondant cakes etc etc. Let me dive into the FAQs. But before that a description about all terms used.
So with reference to the cake slice , you will get a idea of what terminology is used . Cake is made up of:)
Cake layers (e.g Vanilla, Chocolate, Red Velvet)
Fillings (Strawberry Buttercream , Salted Caramel Buttercream, Ganache )
Cake is then covered with a thick layer of Icing such as buttercream or Ganache.
• If you are going for Fondant cake , then a thin layer of fondant will come on top of this.
FAQ

Cakes Prithvis Creativity is all about baking all types of cakes for your special occasions like birthdays , anniversaries , baby showers , engagement , wedding , etc.
You can customize the combination of cake with filling as per your choice. e.g if u like Coconut and Nutella , we can have a coconut cake with Nutella buttercream or ganache.
• What is Ganache ?
Ganache is a type of icing/frosting which is nothing but chocolate and cream. Ganache can be made from Dark , Semi-sweet or white chocolate.
You can customize and personalise the look of the cake , e.g. for a first birthday you want a cake which depicts about your kid and the his/her’s favorite toys. Send me the pics of the toys , and we will make edible replicas of them , to be placed on cake. These are called ‘Toppers’.
• Is Cake Prithvis Creativity a shop?
Cakes Prithvis Creativity is not a shop outlet. I have my room, where I bake cakes, decorate them and I also do
The most important thing at Cakes Prithvis Creativity is that the cakes are baked only on Pre-Orders. Yes ! So cakes are Not made and kept for days in freezer. They are freshly made on order, for which you need to call us or WhatsApp us to check if we are available or full on that day , after a discussion on flavours , and look of the cake, a price is quoted.
At Cakes Prithvis Creativity, Pre-Orders ensure that you get fresh cakes every time and there is not wastage of cakes . We also use quality ingredients like Amul Butter , Cadbury coco etc , NO MARAGRINE ! (I think this also answers questions like why your cakes are priced higher than the bakeries)
What are fondant cakes ? Is fondant sweet ? Is it that hard layer on cake ?
This is one of the most FAQ. First of all fondant is nothing but simple sweet sugar dough. So yes it will be sweet Fondant is popular since it gives a smooth finish to the cake , and it works like clay , you can mould it into any shape desired ! That’s what allows us to make edible 3d animals on cake , 3d human figures etc
In Goa , although people want customized cake , they dont like fondant much. Hence at cake bites , we make sure that the icing covering the cake is thick and fondant on top of it is very thin , which almost nullifies the effect of sweetness of fondant. And there have been clients who hated fondant before , but are placing orders with us because the taste is very much balanced Fondant is not a hard substance. It is a sugar dough , rolled into a sheet and then placed on top of cake. So before saying no to fondant , try it out.
