The room is small, but big enough to serve its purpose: takeaway orders. the SLM Pastry & Snack Shop is at Indira Gandhiweg, just before the first speedbump of Lelydorp. In March of this year, it saw its two-year anniversary. As soon as the doors open in the morning, customers come in and out. Most come in to order the delicious pies and cakes, produced by SLM Catering. Hence the name ‘SLM-cake’. The round type comes in diameters of 20cm and upwards, the squares in 25x25cm and upwards. For reference: 25x25cm will feed twenty adults. Cakes can be made any size up to 90x90cm. This size caters for six hundred guests! There is a home delivery option for 90x90cm cakes and for bridal cakes.
Cake varieties include: buttercream (vanilla, mocha and chocolate flavored, whipped cream, fruit, double chocolate, red velvet and bavarois. And as mentioned: the bridal cake. Most flavors are also available for purchase in slices. Also available are cream horns and cakes of fruit, marble and lemon varieties. Those looking for a hot snack can take their pick from meat, chicken and fish sandwiches or round chicken pasties. Less known is that the outlet also stocks small baguettes and loaves. The same SLM Catering which provides on-flight catering, also produces saté, croquettes, profiteroles, beetroot salad, pom and pastei (pasties). Ask for the menu to turn your party into a feast! Delivery times can be agreed upon order; the minimum delivery time for cakes is two working days. But do you urgently require a cake? Worry not, they also stock standard cakes and ‘Happy Birthday’ cakes. The Pastry & Snack Shop also prints edible photos for on your cake.
