Pack N Bake, Chalai Trivandrum |
Way to Pack N Bake, Inside Chalai Market, Trivandrum |
Before I spotted this place in Trivandrum, I had searched, enquired with many folks in Trivandrum for any shop selling cake and chocolate making ingredients. Like many other baking enthusiasts in Trivandrum, I too hit a dead end. Sad to say, even bakery owners in Trivandrum were tight lipped on shops selling baking ingredients. ( Is it their trade secret ). At last I got the clinching clue from my cousin's wife Rina Gomez. She said about Pack N Bake in Chalai.
Based on this vital clue I went to Chalai, Trivandrum and rest in history.
I spotted this shop "Pack N Bake" in Chali, Trivandrum. I know there are lot of folks like me hunting for a place to buy baking stuff in Trivandrum.
Pack N bake is located on the opposite side of Bata, the lane adjacent next to Jayachandra Book depot in Chalai. Before I found this place, I used to carry all the ingredients from Bangalore for my cake baking class and chocolate making class in Trivandrum.
Pack N Bake -Phone #: 0471 2470444, Mobile #: 9895192522
Note: Before take the effort to visit a baking store, pls call them to find if the items are available. I find many store keepers find it very easy to say "No Stock", while you've come all the way to pick that particular item. Once I had a in bad experience hunting for Britanian Cream Cheese in all shops in Trivandrum. The worst part is that the people at the counter don't bother to tell when that particular item will come.)
- Whipping Cream and Powder:whipping cream in 1 kg packs.
- Whipping cream powder

I had spotted Pack N Bake way back in 2011, but now as of 2016, we have many shops selling baking ingredients in Trivandrum. Here's the updated list of few other shops selling baking ingredients and accessories in Trivandrum:
- The Baker Walk, at Nanthencode

For me friday has always been a chocolate day. I always make chocolate tarts and pies on friday. I always buy chocolate slab
online as it gives you many flavors,shapes and are easier to chop.
Hi ,
First of all thank you for posting this . Most of us present in Trivandrum have to run from one shop to another to buy all ingredients for just one cake .
Does anybody know where to buy cream cheese in trivandrum ? I saw that it was already asked but there was no definite answer
Hi. I have a coffee shop in Varkala, Coffee Temple, and ive had a few bakers come and try to make fluffy crusty baguette type loaves for me, but no-one was successful. So i wonder , do i need strong flour? I know theres a firm in Kochi called STAINES which i must check out, and ive heard theres a shop called Choice Cheese in Pettah which might stock cream cheese
I fancy having a cream whipper, found one in a bakery shop in Kochi, but they didnt know about the gas bombs to charge it. Lol. So ill ask P & B next time, cream cheese shouldnt be hard to make. Gas Oven manufacturer ???
I want to learn butter cream icing and fresh cream icing....when is ur next class mam
Where I can get turn table for icing...pls give me that information also mam
You can find this shop in nanthancode also
Where can i get cake spatula
Hi there...im residing in Trivandrum. From where can i get mascarpone cheese and italian ladyfingers?
Bless you for this info. Been looking for the ingredients for ages and like you said, all bakers are tight lipped about it. I'm introducing my 7 year old nephew to baking and we've been going through a phase of 'joy of baking'. Now with this info, we can easily bake our dream chocolate cheesecake. Thanks a million!!
