Social media calls for boycott of anti-Christmas bakeries, Delizia refuses to comment

People on social media are calling out two bakeries in Karachi for refusing to write “Merry Christmas” on cakes. A Facebook user on a Facebook group wrote, “Shame on Delizia and Auntie Muanaver’s Food and Dessert for their jahalat. Their bigotry has no place in progressive and pluraistic Pakistan.”

Earlier, in another post, a Facebook user posted about how a Karachi based bakery chain Delizia, refused the request of a customer to write ‘Merry Christmas’ on a cake.

The Current reached out to Delizia for comment but their customer service representative refused to comment on the matter, saying “they are not allowed to comment.”

The Current also tried to reach out to Auntie Muanaver’s Kitchen but no one picked up on the number provided on their Facebook page.

In 2018, a similar incident happened in the Badar Commercial branch of Delizia bakery when a customer was declined a cake with ‘Merry Christmas’ written on it. The staff made a similar excuse at that time as well that it was not company instructions. It was reported on another Facebook page, Karachi Food Diary.
