Cake Mixing

What is Cake Mixing? That is a good question...we had never heard of it until moving here.
It involves mixing a lot of dry fruits and nuts and then adding wine and rum. The big hotels make a Grand hurrah about this. They usually invite celebritites and VIP guests to do the honors. Luckily, our friends at the Asiana (http://www.asianahotels.com/) put together an event for a different kind of VIP's, the kids. The hotel went all out, as they usually do, by providing hats, gloves and cute aprons, which we got to keep.
The hotel had the atrium all decorated for Christmas. It was nice to see a huge tree and hear Christmas music.
This is how pretty the dry fruits and nuts are assembled....



Lets get ready to mix.........


As you can see, the kids had a blast. It was all fun until the adults started pouring in the wine and rum. At that point the kids started to slowly leave. Carissa said the smell was too strong. If the smell was strong I can't wait to see what it's going to taste like.

Yes, they actually bake it into cakes and sell them. It is supposed to be the big thing to give during Christmas. Of course we ordered one, so stay tuned to see what it tastes like.


I thought these were the cutest things....the pastery chef made them. He is the same guy who won the award and made those cool sculptures I blogged (India's Got Talent) about some time ago.

IT'S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS!
