A piece of cake a day keeps the doctor away. Right? In any case, Ghent has dozens of interesting cafés where you can try all kinds of sweets. They are the places to be to buy cake to try at home or on the spot. Vegans will also find something they like, as many places in the city offer cake made without dairy products.
