Cochabamba Cake Sales Soar on Mother's Day, but Prices Follow Suit Cochabamba, Bolivia – Mother's Day in Cochabamba saw a surge in cake sales, a traditional gift for mothers in Bolivia. However, this increase in demand came with a price hike, leaving both consumers and vendors with mixed feelings. Local cake shops reported a significant increase in sales compared to previous years, but the cost of ingredients has more than doubled. "The prices of cream, flour, and sugar – everything has gone up," explained one vendor, highlighting the challenges of maintaining profitability. Health inspectors are also conducting checks to ensure food safety standards are maintained during this period of increased production. One inspector commented, "As a health institution, we are always here to prevent any possible foodborne illnesses." The increase in prices, while unfortunate, reflects broader economic pressures. The positive aspect is that the increased demand demonstrates the importance of Mother's Day traditions in Cochabamba.
