JAMMU, Dec 19: Ahead of Christmas celebrations, Hotel Ramada Jammu kicked off the cake mixing season by hosting its annual ‘Cake Mixing Ceremony’.

Apart from the staff members and invited guests, senior executives of the Hotel were also present on the occasion.
Siddhant Chowdhary, Director of the Hotel said that cake mixing is a ritual which hails from Europe wherein the mixture is emptied into large containers and stored for days before Christmas with occasional stirring in between. The cake mixing began with handing over of aprons, gloves and Santa caps to the guests.
Vishal Executive Chef said, “In this festive season, the hotel has launched The Patisserie by Ramada, which is a 100 per cent eggless bakery which is available only against orders to ensure the quality and freshness. The Patisserie has various types of products ranging from Pies, Tarts, Mille Fuelles to customised cakes, pastries and croissants available to the guests on pre order and to ensure customer convenience, there is free delivery as well”.
This was followed by the chefs, other staff members of the Hotel and guests coming together to mix the ingredients.
The process began with adding the fruits and nuts to a large container and pouring the spirits. Christmas decor and live crooning added immensely to the camaraderie of the event.
This was followed by a scrumptious spread by the culinary maestros of the Hotel to celebrate the festival with a perfect blend of Christmas spirit and cheer.
After the traditional cake mixing ceremony, the mixture was put into airtight bags and left to mature until around Christmas when it will be blended with the cake batter and bake.
