A Hideout

A few weeks ago, two friends of mine discovered this place. It is quite far from the city yet very close to it. The car horns don't reach there just like anyone else and it is a secret hideout, so I will not tell you where it is. 
Only a hand full know of the address of the hideout and those hand full love and admire it as well as I do. As much as I do.
Sometimes, the wind seems angry or too happy for it moves so fast, that it takes away all sorts of stress and anger with it. At night, that is where I would be rather than anywhere else. And when it is time for my companions and me to leave, it becomes the most revolting thought. 
Very ironic for me to call the place a hideout. Right in front of everyone yet unnoticed. I can see everyone, but no one notices me watching them.
It makes an adventure to go up there, because it is quite not as simple as to just go somewhere. 
Not a very polished place yet clean, comfortable and homely. 
One's laughs and cries in my hideout will go unheard even to someone who is standing right below. And so, this makes it a place for private conversation for me and my girls. 
Maybe there are many more places like this one, that has been found out, but yet it remains as a special location, for me and those who know the address.

Buttercupp- a cupcake experience





The four-starred (by 'burrp!') cupcake bakery established in Bodakdev, Ahmedabad is a small sized shop with a seating for two where they offer freshly baked cupcakes with high quality ingredients- Callebaut chocolate, home made fresh fruit purees, pure vanilla and sweet cream butter.


The shop is run by a lovely couple who treat their costumers kindly and courteously. 
The shop attends to its costumers from ten in the morning till eight in the evening. 

Festive sweetness is well served as they take special orders for Rakshabandhan, Diwali, birthdays, etc. Also theme based.




Take away is a better option as most of the time the place is crowed with sugar-hungry costumers. Additionally, the take away boxes are customized for carrying cupcakes which brings the cupcake home safely.
However, the cute round table and accompanying chairs are also attractive, if one wishes to eat there.





The facebook page talks of their everyday flavours and themes (if any) along with an introduction of any new taste or item, like a chocolate cake ball.








A taste guaranteed place one must visit.
Hope you enjoy it!!
HAPPY CUPCAKE!
