Traditional cake mixing kicks off Christmas festivities

Patrons and staff of DoubleTree by Hilton in Panaji kicked off their Christmas festivities with a traditional

cake mixing

ceremony. The

hotel

team was led by executive chef Ananth S. Everyone donned aprons, gloves and caps as they got set to mix the colourful mounds of dry fruits, nuts and spices.

The annual cake mixing ceremony is a feature at several resorts, and the mixture is kept in storage to mature until it’s time to bake it around Christmas time. The chef and his team hand-picked the ingredients to showcase the vibrant flavours of the region, and the guests joined in the mixing.
