Customers of Cake Al Taybyn, an Emirati cake shop, wait for the chance to find and grab a box of its delicious cakes in Dubai. Although this cake shop does not have any outlet in Dubai yet, it can be found in many food festivals and markets that often take place in Dubai. At the moment, the shop\u2019s stall can be found at the #MiamiFoodFestival taking place in City Walk\u2019s green planet parking lot from February 15th till March 25th.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cBecause we do not have a shop here in Dubai, our customers wait for us in food festivals so that they can come and grab a box of their favorite cakes,\u201d said Marwan Mohammed, the shop owner.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Cake al Taybyn is participating in this food festival\u2019s edition for the second year in a row. The owner says that he likes it here, and the vibes are really nice, \u201cbut the problem is that people usually go for fast food and not to local entrepreneurs that sell cake.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Marwan Mohammed founded Cake Al Taybyn in 2016, and opened his first three shops in his hometown, Umm al Quwain. Now two other shops will open up next month in Umm Al Quwain.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cMarwan, the owner, is very sweet. He personally communicates with his customers, and that is a really good thing to do to develop one\u2019s business,\u201d said Maryam Ali, one of the shop\u2019s regular customers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cake Al Taybyn, literally meaning \u201cThe cake of the good old days\u201d in the local slang, is famous for their signature cake. \u201cThe cake tastes just like the one I used to buy from the cake truck that moved around our neighborhood,\u201d said Huda Ali, a customer at Cake Al Taybyn.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The signature mini cake is what Marwan started off with, which is basically a sponge cake with a bit of cream and jam in the middle. \u201cI love the signature cake, my children and I never have enough of it, it tastes like the original Swiss roll, but even better,\u201d said Alia Abdulla.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Now, Marwan started with other flavors of the same cake, but added a twist of modern day food, like, Nutella, red velvet, and others. \u201cIt\u2019s a fusion of the past and present,\u201d he said. Even though he added those flavors, the signature one remains the best seller at the food festival.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you want to have a bite of this authentic cake, visit their stall at Miami Vibes Festival, open every day from the 15th of February to the 25th of March, from 12pm to 11pm on weekdays, and from 12pm to 12am on weekends.<\/strong><\/p>\n
