The fastest-moving item at TBWX outlets in 2026 isn't what you'd expect. It's not the Bubble Waffle, it's not even the Nutella Sandwich. It's the Waffle Cake — and most people in India have never heard of it.
What exactly is a Waffle Cake?
A TBWX Waffle Cake is a stacked Belgian waffle cake. Imagine 3 to 4 layers of freshly made Belgian waffles, each sandwiched with ganache, cream, or a fruit compote, then decorated with cream rosettes, chocolate shavings, berries, or signature touches like Ferrero Rocher or Oreo.
Unlike a sponge cake, the structure stays waffle. You can see the grid pattern when it's cut. You can taste the lightly crisp edges of each layer. It looks like a cake, eats like a waffle, and photographs like Instagram was invented for it.
Why is it our best-selling gift category?
A few reasons, stacked on top of each other:
1. It's different. Birthday cake shops in India sell the same red velvet, pineapple, black forest, butterscotch rotation. When someone walks into your office with a Waffle Cake, the whole office stops working to ask what it is. That's the exact moment gifting cakes are supposed to create.
2. It feeds more than it looks like. A TBWX Waffle Cake comfortably feeds 6-8 people. The density of the waffle layers means even small slices satisfy.
3. It's pre-orderable at every outlet. We built the Waffle Cake menu so any TBWX outlet — whether you're in Chandigarh, Mohali, Zirakpur, Pune, Jaipur or Bharuch — can execute it with the same recipes and the same aesthetic.
4. Price point is honest. Most novelty cakes in Indian bakeries cost Rs 1,500-3,000 for a comparable size. TBWX Waffle Cakes start at Rs 699 for a 4-layer classic chocolate, and top out around Rs 1,599 for our loaded Ferrero Waffle Cake. You're getting a talked-about cake at regular cake prices.
The flavors we currently run

How to order
Three ways:
Walk into the outlet: Most TBWX outlets have 2-4 Waffle Cake variants on display daily. Check availability on the day.
WhatsApp pre-order: Message your nearest outlet on WhatsApp 24 hours ahead for custom sizes, flavors, and message writing. The WhatsApp number is on each outlet's [location page](/outlets).
Zomato / Swiggy: Available at outlets where we've enabled it, for 1.5-2 hour delivery lead time on standard flavors.
The honest catch
Two notes of transparency, because we'd rather you know before ordering:
Lead time matters. For standard flavors, 2-4 hours is usually enough. For custom builds or photo-finish presentation cakes, please give us 24 hours. A Waffle Cake built in a rush is a Waffle Cake that doesn't look like the pictures.
Freshness window is shorter than sponge cake. Best eaten within 24-36 hours of pickup. Waffle layers lose their texture faster than a refrigerator-friendly sponge. Order for the day of the event, not a week ahead.
Why no one else is making these
Most cake shops don't make Waffle Cakes because the waffle iron, the batter system, and the stacking expertise are a completely different kitchen discipline from sponge cakes. And most waffle cafés don't make them because they're focused only on single-serving waffles.
TBWX sits in the overlap — we run both disciplines. Bubble Waffles and Belgian Waffle Sandwiches for walk-in dessert, and stacked Waffle Cakes for the gift and celebration market. One kitchen, both jobs.
Thinking about opening a TBWX outlet?
The Waffle Cake category is one of the four reasons TBWX franchise partners hit breakeven in 6-8 months instead of the 18-24 months typical in single-product dessert franchises. A birthday cake order of Rs 1,299 lifts daily sales materially. Scale it over 150-200 gifting orders a month per outlet, and the unit economics change.
If this is making you curious, [apply for a TBWX franchise](/franchise/apply). Investment starts at Rs 3 Lakhs, and the Waffle Cake category is unlocked from Day 1.
Or, just [order a Waffle Cake](/outlets) for the next birthday. Sometimes that's the right next step.
