Christmas in Delhi is big like everything else around here. The streets are flooded with decorations, people with Christmas cheer and bakeries with Christmas cakes. Every year Delhi sugarcoats life with sinful cakes. Santa is screaming in your face to delve in, Ho-Ho-Ho can refuse Santa Claus himself?
1. Defence Bakery
Delhi’s go-to bakery is the best defense the city has against Monday blues and sugar cravings. We proudly state this bakery is the most trustworthy delivery for sponge cakes. Come Christmas, plum cakes fall in line. They mostly sell the same options all year because they city will collapse without its regualar favourites. However, there’s always room for more. Bring on the calories!
Where: Shop 34, Defence Colony Market
2. The Big Chill Cakery
Christmas cakes, birthday cakes, Friday cakes, this is the place for Delhi’s most sinful desires. The Big Chill Café is this city’s personal hero. When they opened their delectable bakery as a whole separate place, we lost our minds. Now it’s been 4 years and we still haven’t recovered. Their affection confection is loaded! Every item is enough to be a meal in itself, instead of post dinner indulgence. Big Chill Cakery recently opened in CyberHub too!
Where: 4-b, Khan Market, Rabindra Nagar

3. Wenger’s
Another city gem, this is the OG bakery in town. The long corridor has bakes on both sides of the wall. Christmas fills the room with delicious irresistible glares shooting across the room, from dessert to people and vice versa. They go all out with icing and frosting. Their Christmas cakes and cookies are insta-worthy works of art in all shapes and sizes. Another iconic bakery came to Delhi too!
Where: Shop No: A/16 Near Inner Circle Road, Rajiv Chowk, Connaught Place
4. Elma’s Bakery
This bakery does a cake justice or doesn’t do it at all. Their popularity has only grown in the past years despite fierce competition from bigger chains. Elma’s has two outlets but for the fans, it doesn’t matter where they are. If a craving hits, there’s only one cure: give in. Christmas cakes are no exception. They come up with gourmet recipes for simple cakes. We are excited to see how this season goes on. Check out these 5 Places For The Best Cheesecakes In Delhi!
Where: 79,80, Meharchand Market, Lodhi Road Quarters, Lodi Colony
5. Open Oven
This is one of the next door neighbour bakeries. Their outlets have served Delhi on every occasion. They’re affordable, airy and delicious, really worth the money. If you want to stock up or gift Christmas cakes, they’re your best bet in terms of cost and availability. While Wenger’s sells out all too quickly, these guys never give the kitchen a break. They have it all from plum to frosting, take your pick, they’ll all be good. They deliver too!
Where: Shop No. 39, Ground Floor, Living Style Mall, Jasola

6. Whipped
Greater Kailash was blessed with this little nook next Savitri a few years ago. There has been no going back. Whipped swiftly dominated the market upon launching. The 2 outlets play enough hearts to be the sugar ruler that side of town. Everything is the second option if Whipped is in the area. Their quality remains unmatched at their price point. They cook up miniatures to stifle carb overload. Christmas cakes are just as delicious as everything else here.
Where: E-556, Greater Kailash 2
7. Angels in My Kitchen
These divine goddesses are spread across the city in 10 heavens. Wherever we go, our saviours wait to come to our rescue. Their presentation is fun all year round, Christmas time is just OTT. They make yummy Christmas shapes and colour their world in reindeer. When we step foot inside these bakeries, we truly enter dessert heaven with gingerbread and Christmas cakes touching roof. The sky is not the limit!
Where: K-10A, Cyber Hub
8. L’Opera Salon De Thé
Delhi’s fancy bakery does tea and Christmas right. They are the one place that can mix up a simple chocolate éclair and turn it into a Christmas carol. Christmas cakes here mean festive macaroons, Santa printed on chocolate and snowflakes lighter than… well, actual snowflakes. If you’re looking for something different, something Christmas, something classy, this is your one true love.
Where: Epicuria Mall, LGF, Nehru Place Metro Station
9. The Brown Box
This is a much-loved breakfast place in the city. Christmas mornings here are magical, with gingerbread in the air and Christmas cakes in our hearts. For Christmas they whip up carrot cakes, plum cakes, fresh strawberry cake and sticky toffee cake. Their menu is perfect for sweet dates and family sharing alike.

10. Mystical Bundle
This delivery only place has the best chocolate cakes in town. Christmas cakes are no exception to their unprecedented deliciousness. The German Chocolate Cake and Nutty Cake are the best. Since plum cake is nothing but a mixture of both these flavours, naturally, they rock our world.
Where: F344, Lado Sarai
11. Miam
This is by far the softest place in town. By that we mean their attitude and goods, and both feather soft. While their Salted Caramel Cake is wildly popular in the city, the Christmas menu will be the city’s first choice this season. Maple and Pecan French Toast is a Christmas favourite here. They also have the best tea cakes and vegan cakes.
Where: A-15A, Safdarjung Development Area, Hauz Khas
