Baker?

[DoYouLoveIt?]

Hi, I am looking for a baker in the Playa del Carmen area. I am getting married there in July and the resort only offeres 1 kind of basic cake, I am interested in having a more elaborate cake and a grooms cake. Does anyone know of any bakers in the area that I could contact?

I"m not sure if this will help you or not, but you might want to google these places and see if they can help you in any way. I know a supermarket sounds crazy but from what I hear Mexico's idea of a supermarket is different from ours, you never know they could have exactly what your looking for.

 

Chedraui Supermarket - Grocery Store in Playa del Carmen

This is biggest and best supermarket south of Cancun. They have a large selection of import and national food items, fresh veggies, a bakery, household items, clothing, etc. Essentially US style shopping. ------ When coming south from the airport, as you approach Playa del Carmen you will go through two sets of traffic lights. As you go through the second set, you will see a big shopping plaza on your left, it is orange. Keep going south and you will come to a "Returno" which will allow you to U turn and go north. Take the U Turn and stay in the far right lane, and you can enter the plaza from there.

Location: on the main coastal highway from Cancun, just south of Av. Juárez, the main entrance to PDC

 

Panaderia del Carmen - Grocery Store in Playa del Carmen

Baked goods and bread.

Location: On 30th Avenida, between 6th and 8th street

 

El Molino (excellent cakes, esp. pastel con tres leches) on 30th a bit south of Juarez

We recently received this question, so we asked some of the wedding planners in Cancun where the best places to get a wedding cake are.

 

Laura Mucel Cameras, owner of Cancun-Weddings.com, she said that she has her own cake chef. Laura said she’s happy to e-mail photos of sample cakes to give you a better idea of what they can do. You can contact Laura at cancunweddingconsultant@yahoo.com.
