It was a big stretch of fruits and nuts at GRT Grand hotel in T Nagar, Chennai, with the mixture weighing about 400 kg.
Mohiniyattam exponent Gopika Varma set off the festive spirits by initiating the Christmas cake-mixing ceremony at the star hotel.
“The actual process begins before two months, starting with the selection of the right ingredients,” said the hotel's executive chef Balachandar.
GRT Grand has been performing the cake-mixing ceremony for past 13 years.
“When the cake is finally ready, it will weigh about 700 kg. The older it is, the better it tastes,” added the chef with a grin.
