Have Your Flake and Eat it Too

By Guest Contributor:  Jill Jacobs

For all those on Ritalin, please be advised!  The massive amount of deliciousness and guaranteed sugar highs presented below WILL push your brain to a place of excitement that no pill could ever negate.  Consider yourself warned.  (But doc, it tastes so goooood!)

CAKES N’ FLAKES is a charming little nugget (or should we say “nougat?”) that just opened this past April and has already made a big splash with both Indian-food lovers and sweet tooths throughout the QC.  Located in the University Area, this Indian bakery serves up everything from traditional Indian fare to deliciously wonderful cupcakes every single day.

While the menu may be a bit intimidating to an Indian food virg, owner and manager, Jain, is eager to help out the newbies.  She instantly recommended the Chicken Tikka Wrap filled with spicy chicken cooked in Tikka sauce, grilled onion, tomato, and lettuce. And with a price of only $4.60, who can complain?  “Not I,” said the fly.

All the food is made fresh to order and there are plenty of low-carb, eggless, and sugar-free dishes to satisfy even the healthiest of eaters.  But no matter what you choose, one thing is certain… you’ll want to save room for dessert!  Our picks: Black Forrest Cake and Tiramisu (and any chocolate lover is sure to appreciate the Chocolate Truffle Cake).  Ritalin say bye-bye.

Don’t forget to check out their wedding and birthday cakes as well.  Um, yum.  The bakery is open seven days a week at 2015 E. Arbors Drive.
