By the time Carrie Bradshaw bit into a ‘sexy’ meringue cupcake in the popular American TV soap “Sex and the City”, the humble cupcake had morphed into frosted fondants; a dessert sensation; a symbol of independence for a single woman who could now go out and buy exquisitely decorated cupcakes all for herself and not feel guilty about it. After all, it wasn’t a whole cake, just a teeny-tiny cupcake.

Oh yeah- Pandhal Cake shop also has quite a variety of cupcakes to satisfy your craving for cupcakes. “Gone are the days of clichéd chocolates and cards… teenagers and college goers prefer cupcakes for occasions like birthday, parties and get-together.” But why?
