4. Carrot Cake At Elma’s, New Delhi

Elma’s is the cutest café in New Delhi. You can find fresh croissants, rolls, and sandwiches here and the place seems to be packed round the clock. The best thing to grab here for a sugar rush is the carrot cake. Garnished with an adorable carrot meringue on top, the cake is flaky, moist, and sweet. If you love carrots and cake (I know I do!), you’re going to love this one.

9. Caramel Custard At Pantry D’Or, Chennai

I don’t think there is anything quite as appealing as good old caramel custard. It’s a classic! The one served here looks perfect, doesn’t it? Soft, creamy, and the perfect shade of warm gold. Topped with a dollop of whipped cream, I’ll bet it tastes even better than it looks.
