“Life is short. Eat dessert first.”
I believe in the above quote. And yes, I love desserts and can’t imagine my life without desserts. Cakes are on top of my favorite dessert-list. Living in Dubai, I’ve visited the best of bakeries and relished some of the finest cakes, cupcakes and pastries. Recently I got introduced to Ribbons & Balloons, a bakery.
Ribbons & Balloons is an award-winning bakery that is located in the heart of Oud Metha Road. This cute little bakery specializes in cakes and pastries. Couple of days ago ago, they introduced a new range of cakes, I had the pleasure of trying out their baked goodies on the day of the launch.
Let’s hear it from team Ribbons & Bakery about their concept:
We specialize in making sinfully delicious cakes and desserts for various occasions, we aim to dazzle our customers taste buds with a huge array of cakes and pastries. We use traditional recipes, quality ingredients and bake each and every item that’s being sold, to perfection. At Ribbons & Balloons we started our operation with an aim to provide traditionally baked products with an exciting twist. Noticing the limited variability in product offerings across the UAE, we wanted to offer new ways to indulge in cakes and desserts that are appealing and taste good.
My Experience
The bakery is small and cosy with pretty interiors. I loved the variety they offered. There were classic cakes, one-of-a-kind cakes, cheesecakes, cupcakes, brownies and cookies. They also offer gluten free and eggless cakes.
Whether you are looking for a customized cake or cake in a jar or a designer cupcake or a cake, Ribbons & Balloons has it covered. Whatever the occasion, they have the unique creation for you.
You can call and order from them or you can order online. Their menu also offers a small range of hot snacks and beverages. They also offer baking classes at their bakery and also over the Internet.
The cakes that I tried
- Rainbow Cake was super moist, creamy and delicious. It had multi-colored layers of moist sponge cake with cream cheese frosting.
- Banana Nutella Cake was oh-so-delicious. This light and scrumptious cake is a must-try for all Nutella fans.
- Mango Mousse came in a cute jar. But found it a bit too creamy. Needs a bit of an improvement with more addition of mangoes and less whipping cream to give it a rich mango flavor.
- Absolutely loved their rich, dense and fudgy Gluten Free Chocolate Cake.
Except the Mango Mousse, I liked all the cakes that I tried. Definitely would love to try their other cakes. The service was very good, the pricing is reasonable for the high quality cakes.
