Lavonne

Lavonne doesn't mess with a classic, their recipe boasts of nuts, raisins, warm spices and alcohol, of course. They also add orange peel, and cranberries for extra decadence. While here also look for Stollen, a cake-like Christmas bread with fruits, nuts and spices. Head to their outlets in the city to pick 250 gm and 500 gm versions of the same.

Albert Bakery
Over a century old, and Albert Bakery still serves up desserts and bakes with a dollop of nostalgia and good feels. Their plum cakes come loaded with nuts and flavour and have that homely taste to them — it will be available 7 December onwards. You'll be tempted to pick up their savoury options too - because it's not really a party without munchies. Should you want something less indulgent, their fruit and nut cake (no alcohol) or their Russian cake should do fine. Do remember that they only take cash, and parking is a bit of an issue, so prepare accordingly before you visit.

Chiffon Tree
Chiffon Tree's Rashmi Michael starts soaking dry fruits in January, and baking batches of delectable plum cakes in November. Every bite is indulgent and worth savouring.

All their Christmas options are labour intensive, so remember to order in advance as there are only limited quantities available.

There's no fuss, no pretense in their options as they currently are where many other restaurants, cafes and the like source their bakery items from. We included them here for their simple plum cakes that aren't too overbearing, especially if you need them in large quantities.
