1 Km. queue at Karachi Bakery, Hyd!

Let us forget Politics for a day, let us keep our troubles aside for an hour and let us celebrate the eve of New Year 2010 grandly, is the say of most families and youngsters in and around Hyderabad.

Even after the call from Osmania JAC to ban New Year celebrations in the city as a generous support to Telangana state formation, none of the youth are looking to be in a mood to stay away from celebrations.

Every where in the city, bakeries are full busy with selling of cakes which are usually cut at mid night 12 AM marking the onset of New Year 2010. Normal plum cakes which are sold at Rs.100 to 150 a Kg are today sold at Rs.200 to 250 with raising demand for these sweet cakes. Cool cakes or otherwise called as pastries are known to be sold at double their normal price for the day, with various surprise packages like 1 Kg ice cream free for 1 kg cake or a 1.5 liter cool drink free for 1 Kg of cake.

Gracing these occasions of New Year and Christmas, Bakeries in Hyderabad earn good revenues. New Year cakes are real Hot cakes!
