The Wall Flour also does customisations for various events like Mother’s Day, weddings and even Eid.

Paparch is truly the OG of Basque burnt cheesecakes. Its sought after bakes are usually sold out, creating a month-long waiting list for those eager dessert lovers hoping to sink their teeth into the sweet, melted, ooze of goodness. Using all halal ingredients, this Muslim-owned bakery serves seven-inch cakes that are good for sharing. The cakes don’t have a heavily scorched top, and it boasts a genuinely molten cream cheese heart. While it gained a huge following during the lockdown, it continues to win the hearts of many for its sinful bakes.
