5 Best Birthday Getaways in and Around Pune

By  | 

John Glenn said, “There is still no cure for the common birthday.” Let’s prove him wrong by breaking the common ritual that birthday celebrations only involve partying with friends and family, where there is blowing the candles, cutting the cake and loads of drinking (i.e., if you are of drinking age, mind you) and merriment. No doubt, it is still fun. But to be honest, it is also boring. Detangle from the sticky web of monotonous routine and do something truly off-beat on your birthday. If you are planning the birthday getaway for your loved ones, make sure to buy a perfect cake as well. No birthday is complete without a cake. With all the grand birthday planning, you can ease out the task of buying the perfect cake by simply ordering it online from websites and online niche portals like Bakeway.com, which is an online marketplace to buy cakes and sweet delicacies.
