With a lot of schools cracking down on excess sugar to prevent obesity and diabetes all across the world especially the US, I think it’a absolutely important for us to crack the whip on this one too. We keep telling our kids no sugar , no sugar and then when its the birthday all gates are opened and we go off limits. With the festive season on, one’s craving for gorging on some sweet treats is always on a rise. Specially with the kids, their demand for indulging in cakes, desserts and more doesn’t really seem to stop. Sugar is considered the new Tobacco and it’s time to curb the usage. As Indians we not only eat sugar in deserts but also in our food and have enough and more sweets to lure us. But with too much of sweets not being good for health we have come up with a list of bakers that might just help you save your day with a variety of sweet treats that they provide. It will help kids celebrate but without the sugar.
In this post we also try and address lots of allergies that keep at bay from tasting these treats. We have bakers who specialize in vegan, gluten free and nut free treats for kids across Mumbai.
Bombay Bizarre Baker:
If you are looking up for a perfect healthy chocolaty treat then this is the right place for you. Tara Kapur’s Bombay Bizarre bakery caters into making gluten free cakes and cupcakes, vegan chocolate cake, pumpkin cake and more. Their cakes are just not healthy but are tasty and soft to munch on too. We sampled the pumpkin cake, gluten free almond lemon cake, gluten free double chocolate gooey brownie and vegan chocolate cake. The gluten free chocolate gooey brownie is absolutely delicious but there is no way you can resist the almond cake. Its pure sin. The kids may not warm upto a pumpkin cake or if they love chocolate. The trick is not to tell that it is pumpkin. But it’s something you’ve not tried before and it’s a great Halloween Treat. Click here to see their menu
