Miam Pâtisserie — Local services in Delhi

It's the first time that I ordered from Miam. A little hesitant, to be honest, as the prices are on the steeper end. I ordered a chocolate cookie with sea salt, blueberry crumble cake, marble cake slice and a black forest cake. To begin with, the cookie was fantastic. It had the right amount of bite and goodness. I felt the salt was a bit too much to my liking. Nevertheless, it was outstanding. Coming over to the blueberry crumble cake, it came beautifully decorated. The cake was soft and moist but had a strange lemongrass fragrance and flavour, overpowering the entire cake. The marble slice was nice and moist. The caramel on top was delectable. The only off-putting dessert was the black forest cake. The cherries had gone bad and the taste of the cake was undecipherable. Overall, it was a nice experience.

Edit- Today, I had their Basque cheese cake, mango tea cake slice and chocolate and salted caramel cake. The tea cake was moist and flavorful. It came beautifully decorated with meringue kisses and mango pieces and had a very summery flavour. The chocolate ganache in the chocolate caramel cake seems a bit off today. Together, the ganache, caramel and sponge tasted fine because of the overpowering flavour of caramel. (Which was delicious). But, the ganache wasn't rich or silky. The last dessert is the basque cheesecake. I didn't enjoy it. It tasted...

I was hearing lot of buzz about cakes from Miam and finally decided to order for special occasion in family. To my surprise, cake was very much different from what is shown in the image. My first reaction after seeing the cake was - ‘Why did I choose special occasion to try their cakes’ and was cursing myself’. The size & design were disappointment. And when I complained, the lady on the other side was very rude and was giving the excuse of weather for the change is design and wasn’t taking any onus. Though they replaced the cake but it the experience bitter. It was just 2 hours for the even to get started and I was busy coordinating with the team. Also, the most basic & complementary thing with the cake - knife & candle were missing. When I asked about it, one member said, since delivery is from cloud kitchen, we don’t have it. Second person says, we don’t give candles & knife with our cake. And they made me run to shop in last hour of my celebration. Who would have thought that candles won’t be supplied with cake? No matter how fancy it is. Cakes are for celebration and candle & knife...

I have tried two of their cakes, pineapple and black forest revisited. The pineapple cake is too sweet (mainly because of the heavy cream frosting). The cake lacks a balanced flavor. Though the pineapples used were quite juicy and fresh, the cake still can't be called a substitute to the old school pineapple cake. The Black Forest Revisited that I ordered is a layered treat where each layer has its own unique flavor but these layers somehow fall short of coming together to make that perfect/tasty bite. Both these cakes tasted somewhat better when eaten chilled rather than at room temperature. The cakes totally fall short of the expectations one would have after paying an exorbitant amount for each. They do look beautiful though. So they are more like Instagram ready aesthetic cakes.

The real deal are the Pain au Chocolat and the Large French Hearts. They were light, flaky and perfectly baked. Both items were quite delicious...
