Venue: ITC Maurya, Delhi
It is that time of the year. We are barely recovering from Diwali and it is almost Christmas! We have been getting a catena of invites for cake mixing ceremony.
We recently attended a cute one at ITC Maurya. Mixing (read messing around) rum, port and a host of other liqueur with n number of dry fruits we can’t even name was a lot of fun. True to our experience at ITC’s Fabelle confectionary style they had added a host of Indian aromatic spices as well and we could clearly identify fennel (saunf) in the mixture. This mix is fermented for more than a month and thereafter used in making rich plum cakes. From what we saw, the cakes are going to turn out divine!
The cake mixing ceremony was followed by cocktail and the canapés were expanded to include bakery such as cup cakes, tarts and rum balls. The chocolate coated rum balls had a very strong flavour enhanced again with fennel. We ordered a SUNBEAN cappuccino to do justice to this ball of heaven in the mouth.
The event was smooth and fuss free. We bumped into some old friends and the cake mixing ceremony became a long pending catching up session. The excellent guitarist here, donning a cute Santa hat, played old numbers and there was a lot of nostalgia in the air. That is exactly how the Christmas – New Year season should be we say. Wish you good people loads of peace and festive cheer this season.
If I go to a cake mixing ceremony it would be my first time! It looks like something that’s a unique experience
A cake mixing ceremony sounds like so much fun! Bring on the festive season!
Wow! That’s a lot of fruit. Cake mixing can be so much fun with friends. Just don’t eat all the cake before Christmas please!
Oh my! Tis the season! I wish I was able to ride along with you on this adventure!
Altho, there are plenty of events on my calendar already … going to be a busy season.
That’s crazy that there is a cake mixing ceremony. Pretty interesting facts and I would love to try these cookies out.
This is interesting! Cake mixing ceremony…sounds like something traditional and fun for you. I wanna experience that, too. 😀
I’m such a foodie so for sure, such an event would be appreciated. It just screams of Christmas vibes, the cake mixing especially.
Yum, yum! Those look so, so good. That’s pretty interesting that it ferments for a whole month before they begin making all those scrumptious foods.
I have never been to a cake mixing event before but I have always wanted to go. Something always comes up during that time.
Ooooh all the food! looks fantastic! I had never heard of a cake mixing event before! sounds so cool!
