Mammootty’s birthday cake had 'sundrop fruit' as a stunning topping

Actor Mammootty apparently had a fabulous birthday celebration at midnight on Sunday. His family organised a simple function with close friends to wish the actor on his 69th birthday. “It was an emotional get together. Everybody was really happy,” says actor-photographer Shani Shaki, who was present at the function. He added that the cake was baked specially for the actor, with a farming theme. “It was really tasty,” he says.

Here’s a picture of the stunning cake:

Shazneen Ali from Kochi, who baked the cake, tells us that Mammootty's daughter Surumi wanted the cake decorated with sundrop fruit as toppings, as the plant in their garden has also borne fruit now. “He is now very interested in gardening and the sundrop, also known as Guyabilla, is a rare fruit. I created a miniature sugar replica of the branches and the fruit,” she says.

She says she kept it entirely fruit flavoured as Mammootty loves fruits. “It was a vanilla-strawberry cake. I had baked Dulquer’s birthday cake and also Mammukka’s birthday cake last year,” Shazeen added.

Shaani also explains that Mammootty, who has not stepped out of his house for almost 200 days, has turned a keen gardener. “He has planted a lot of plants and trees in his new home and takes almost as much care of them, as he does his children,” he says. Apart from Shaani, director-actor Ramesh Pisharody, DJ Shekar, production controller Badhusha and makeup man George were present for the celebration.
