Get ready to relish the scrumptious plum cake at The Ashok, New Delhi soaked in selfless love of children from the Kailash Satyarthi Children’s Foundation as they join the chefs in cake mixing

New Delhi, November 23, 2021: As we enter the season of savouring plum cakes, ginger bread, turkey, roasted potatoes and much more, The Ashok, New Delhi ushered the spirit of festive season hosting a cake mixing event with special guests from the Kailash Satyarthi Children’s Foundation.

With the hint of cinnamon in the air and hands clad in gloves, the tiny tots accompanied the chefs shoulder to shoulder as they generously added a rich mix dry fruits like nuts, raisins, apples, apricots, dried ginger along with glazed red cherries, orange peel, tutti frutti, black currants, spices and liquors. Both children and chefs worked hand in hand and the mixture was then transferred to jars and has now been left to mature. The mixture will be blended with the cake batter and baked to turn into scrumptious Christmas cakes.

Speaking on the occasion Chef Arvind Rai, Executive Chef, The Ashok, said, “The pandemic has been a dampener to festivities and celebrations. The times have been stressful for young and old alike. The strong vaccination drive and declining COVID numbers have given people enough confidence to cautiously open up the economy. Also, while festivals like Christmas bring much needed cheer and celebrations, Christmas rituals like cake mixing give everyone much hope and optimism for a new beginning and joyous times ahead.”

The hotel is gearing up for the upcoming festival of Christmas, a special menu will be curated serving the traditional Christmas dinner menu filled with classic dishes and desserts.
