Novotel Hotel is keeping this tradition alive,” said Ashish Battoo, GM, Novotel Hotel.

The cake symbolizes our quest for happiness in our lives,” he added.

Pastry Chef Daya Joshi said that the entire cake mixture has been soaked with rum, vodka and whisky and will be kept for a good 20 days and then baked in small quantities. “Its taste and flavour will be totally different from normal cakes,” informed Chef Daya. 

“We are ready to welcome Xmas season and associated festivities, which will culminate with the New Year celebrations. All Standard Operation Procedures (SOPs) are being followed with diligence to keep Covid19 at bay,” said Sous Chef Raman. 

The mixing was followed by a scrumptious spread by the culinary maestros of the hotel to celebrate the festivities with a perfect blend of Christmas spirit and cheer. Kids, their mothers and hotel staff just added extra zest to the event. BW
