tricity. This unique moment of ecstasy and celebration was performed

taught us the importance of sharing every moment of happiness with all.
Novotel Hotel is keeping this tradition alive,” said Ashish Battoo, GM,

with a unique sense of festive happiness. The cake symbolizes our quest
for happiness in our lives,” he added.

Chef Daya Joshi said that the entire cake mixture has been soaked with
rum, vodka and whisky and will be kept for a good 20 days and then baked
in small quantities. “Its taste and flavour will be totally different
from normal cakes,” informed Pastry Chef Daya Joshi.

are ready to welcome Xmas season and associated festivities, which will

bay,” said Sous-Chef Raman.
