Cake-Mixing Ceremony – VITS Mumbai

The ceremony which marks the onset Christmas season, is the legendary Cake Mixing Ceremony. The origin of cake-mixing dates back to the 17th century where it marked the arrival of the harvest season. And it’s this time of the year when countless fruits and nuts were harvested and prepared to go into the making of the traditional plum cake. Over the centuries, the ceremony steadily graduated over the centuries to a social gathering with family and buddies sitting together and soaking dry fruits in wine or rum with wish that the fine flavor fills the Christmas with scrumptious sweetness.
