Cakes

In Singapore, whenever we think of cakes, we will have a certain cake shop in mind.
ie. The Patissier http://www.thepatissier.com/webtop/ , Cedele http://www.cedeledepot.com/home/
or even Canale http://www.canele.com.sg/
We never associate cakes sold in supermarkets as the “best” cake in town.


In Petrozavodsk, when people think of cakes, they think of the supermarket. Whenever I see a cake shop, I will stroll in to have a look at their cake selection. Guess what, the individual cake shops along the street and the supermarkets sell exactly the same brands of cakes and type of cakes. So it doesn’t matter if you buy from the shop, or the supermarket or the cafes. If you buy cream cake, the chances are high that they are all made from the same factory in Saint Petersburg or Petrozavodsk

But of course , cream cakes are not the only cakes available here.There are also cafes in Petrozavodsk , Cafe De Ja Vu ,PArizhanka , and the german sounding pubs that offer the standard cheesecakes and chocolate fudge cakes.The supermarket also sells an average tiramisu cake :)
sponge cakes!
