THAT TAKES THE CAKE: TOUR THE COOLEST PASTRY SHOP IN KIEV

Today I'm 32 and since I'm jonesing for some birthday cake, I thought I'd start off the day with a tour of The Cake - the coolest pastry shop in Kiev.  Designed by 2B.Group, this modern cafe features a cool white backdrop juxtaposed with bold colors and graphic design features.  Center stage is a giant hot pink Koons-like balloon dog (that respectfully states "only looks like a Koons dog but is not").  The tables are surrounded by tufted wing chairs while geometric wire chandeliers loom overhead.  The candy-colored bathrooms are also notable.  Each one features a shocking punch of monochromatic color sure to boost any mood.  I'll blow out a candle to that!
