Christmas Cake Lahore: Designs and Where to Order
Short answer
Christmas cakes in Lahore split into two: traditional rich fruit cake, which needs ordering weeks ahead because it matures, and decorated celebration cakes in red, green and gold, which need three to four days. Expect Rs 3,000–6,000 for a 2 lb decorated design. Lahore's Christian community concentrates around Youhanabad, Sanda and Gulberg, and December demand is concentrated into one week.
Christmas cake ordering in Lahore is straightforward, with one thing worth knowing early: a traditional fruit cake and a decorated Christmas cake are completely different products with completely different lead times.
Traditional fruit cake
Rich fruit cake is made weeks in advance and left to mature — that maturing is the point, and it cannot be rushed. If you want the traditional version, order in November. Ordering a fruit cake on 20 December gets you a fruit-flavoured cake rather than a matured one.
Decorated Christmas cakes
- Red, green and gold — the standard palette
- Modelled holly, baubles and pine branches
- A Christmas tree, sculpted or piped
- Santa and reindeer figures for children
- Snow effects in royal icing
- Yule log style rolled cakes, which suit a table more than a stage
