“’No cake, no entry’, that is our tagline,” laughs Maariya Kulsum Tanveer, one of many organisers of Chennai’s first ever Cake Buffet. Organised by The Great Madras Bake Sale group, the occasion is impressed from Cake Picnic, a idea widespread in the US, the place 1000’s of attendees carry a cake every for the picnic and get to check out all of the completely different muffins current there.
Taking child steps, the group (additionally comprising Cindana Manickavel and Priya Anup) needs to begin with 100-120 members. The occasion that has piqued the curiosity of skilled house bakers and novice patissiers has to date already obtained 80-plus registrations. “There will also be a competition. We will be judging the look and decoration of the cakes, it will have to be minimum one kilo,” says Maaria. The members will likely be divided into three batches. Each batch will get seven minutes to go round and take their slices of cake.

Everybody is getting experimental and the organisers are encouraging them to experiment with ornament and flavours. Expect mango and keenness fruit cheesecakes, matcha and yuzu muffins (thanks to all latest Okay-dramas and holidays in Japan), Kunafa muffins…, says Maaria.
But how do they plan to preserve a verify on high quality and if the muffins are being baked by the participant? Because let’s face it, the greed for dessert can typically lead one to be devious. Maaria laughs, “Yes there is a possibility that someone might bring a store bought cake, it will be difficult to monitor that. And as for taste, it is a buffet — typically in a buffet you will have good and bad dishes.” The concept for now’s for members to pattern muffins and have enjoyable.
