Sarvajanik Ganeshotsava celebration was in full swing at our colony-ground. We the children were engrossed in the mesmerizing magic tricks of colorful handkerchiefs , pigeons in the hat , playing cards , feathers etc. Suddenly the exotically dressed magicians called one of us kids on the stage. " What is your most favorite food, that you dream to feast on 24*7 ? " ... asked the jovial magician. " Cake , Cake .... Christmas Cake! " ... exclaimed the lucky girl.
Lo and behold, the angelic magician muttered the magic mantra ... 'Abracadabra '... within a jiffy an enormous slice of chocolaty Christmas cake appeared out of thin air , in the fist of magician. He started laughing Ho-ho-ho, just like a jolly good Santa Claus and fed that nutty slice of Christmas cake to the surprised girl. All of us gaped open mouthed at that CAKElicious Fantasy. Since then feasting on Christmas Cake has been my Dearest Dream.
My Christmas Cake Feasting dream realized at The Lalit Mumbai on December 16, 2016. We the food bloggers were invited for #TheLalitExperience of Christmas CakeMixing ceremony as well as Sunday brunch from the FBAI #LetsEatFBAI. Have a look, yes right now , just a look, as we have to wait till Christmas to devour this Delish Dream. I must say it was a tempting twist to my Cake feast fantasy. We had a choicest array of cakes , pastries , tarts etc.to savor from the newly launched 'Boulangerie' at The Lalit , Mumbai.
