We often see it ordered for birthdays, office celebrations and last-minute surprises because it works across age groups.

Pineapple cakes have a very loyal audience in Pune, especially among people who prefer lighter, fruitier cakes. Pineapple is another good example of how traditional favourites continue to perform well despite changing trends. It may not always be the loudest option on the menu, but it remains a steady choice for people who know exactly what they like.
