i went to gin thye today also..well, i mean if you like traditional cakes, i think they are quite popular..esp with the elderly. i think if you spent more than certain amount, they do provide free rental of the GDL baskets also!
their cakes are more of the "cream" type..colours looked quite nice, though packaging wise is quite normal in my opinion. they do have some pastries collection i think..from the flyer that i got
i think it's better that you check with parents on what type of cakes they like..
you can also try choz confectionary or sweetest moments..i ordered mine from choz..prefer the collection there, though i like the packaging from sweetest moments
hope this helps a little!
