For some wicked good cakes that mother will definitely appreciate and gobble up, look for Happy Belly Bakes on Swiggy or Zomato.

If dad is on a special keto diet, worry not! Just order her some Keto Brownies that are to die for!

You can't go wrong with an indulgent chocolate cake from Truffles. They pretty much always have half kg and one kg of all their desserts on hand. The best part is if you're looking to give a quick surprise, then you can even opt for just a slice of any of their cakes and desserts. They deliver through major food aggregator platforms, or you can just walk in and pick up your choice of cake if available as well.
