Don Karkada, partner of Bake Studio speaking to Daijiworld said, "Like every year we have organized traditional cake mixing ceremony marking the arrival of the harvest season. During this festival, lots of fruits and nuts were harvested and prepared which will go into the making of the traditional plum cake. We want to cherish the celebration because it sets the festive mood in. We are using dry fruits like cashews, pistachios, dates, grapes, cherries and almonds, which are soaking in rum and wine with other fresh fruit juice. After the mixing process, it will be kept for 21 days to undergo fermentation so that the flavour and aroma of the cake get developed. Once that is done the cake will be prepared. We are also allowing customers to pre-book the orders. On these orders, they will be able to avail a 15% discount and we will prepare their favourite flavoured plum cakes."
Michael D'Souza, president of the golden jubilee celebration committee of ICYM Udyavar presided over the programme.
