Cake mixing with Tamannah


Oh how yummy and colourful is to see mounds of chopped raisins, almonds, pista, walnuts, blackcurrants, dates, cashews, tutti-fruity, glazed red cherries, orange peel and… our Tamannah.The age-old ceremony of cake mixing that starts a month before Christmas every year was organized in Green Park Hotel at the convention room recently. Endless bottles of spirits and syrups like golden syrup, molasses, honey and vanilla essence were poured into the mix while a number of gloved hands kneaded the mix. In December, the mix will be tossed again, blended with the batter and baked.Christmas is no fun without the traditional Christmas cake. The real fun and joy of the festival starts from doing thing together. Everybody from the hotel including the in-house chefs, Krishnakumar Menon, senior General Manager, Chef Amsa Raju and of course the centre of attraction cum the chief guest Tamannah participated in stirring this quite a splendid mix.Come December, for this mix will be ready for baking and, yeah, eating!
