So, we did manage to visit the cake show that I was telling you about here, last month. As always, the cakes were beautiful – sweet masterpieces in themselves.
We wanted to stare at each cake for ages, and exclaim over the nuances of the design, the attention to detail, and the sheer creativity and determination that would have gone into their making. Sadly, we weren’t able to do that, even though we had chosen a time when there would be no crowd at all, this time around. The bouncers present at the venue ushered us through the exhibition in a matter of 15-20 minutes, reminding us much of the very famous ‘Tirupathi Darshan’. 
Here are a few pictures I somehow managed to click in the midst of all the hullabaloo at the exhibition. Do look out for my favourites – the lion, the pentagon depicting the major religions of India, the pillows, and the biiiiig wedding cake with the roses.
Which of these did you like the most?
Had been there the year before. Dint feel motivated this time!
@Meena Menon
Oh I see…
We make it a point to go to the exhibition every year. It seems to mark the approach of New Year for us.
Hi ma, yeh cakes hai *Stunned*
I have seen a program on some channel TLC or something, where they show such tremendously amazingly yummy cakes made…people have so so much enthu na…to make such master pieces…
I liked all of them…just that I want a bite into them now..
PS – Do you know what they do to these cakes after the exhibition is over? Give it away to the poor?
@R’s Mom
Yes, each one of them is a masterpiece in itself.
I really have no idea what they do with these cakes after the exhibition is over. As I was telling GB, I am not sure if these cakes can be eaten at all.
You can, you can. Everything except the dowels and the plywood trays holding them is edible. I am a big fan of the programme Fabulous cakes on TLC and I KNOW! Apparently the cakes are given for charity in foreign countries when they have a show like this. Dunno about India.
@Zephyr
That’s great – the fact that these cakes are later given to charity.
I can’t get enough of the creativity, artistic talents and all that fine motor skills there. Loved each of them but my favourites would be the pillows and the lion
@Kismi
Mine too! They look so real, no?
Oh my God!!! Are these really cakes??? I am so so so surprised!!
I loved that shoe, house, the girl (which is so so so fab) and ofcourse the gaint wedding cake.
Thanks for sharing the photos here TNGD
PS – I am still wondering what do they do with the cakes after the show gets over? do they sell them out? They are so huge!
@Greenboochi
They are fantastic, aren’t they?
I often wonder what they do with these cakes after the exhibition is over. These cakes are made out of powdered sugar and colour; I am not sure if we can even eat them.
I did not see the foto depicting all the major religions ..
Liked the Lion for sure and the BIke
@Bikram
The lion is one of my favourites, too!
The last picture in the collage is the pentagon depicting the major religions of India. If you see closely, the green side shows Islam. The other side (the red one) depicts a South Indian temple. That picture is not all that clear, sadly, but that is the one.
Oh ok .. Now i can understand ,
Nice pics,this exhibition happens in december, doesn’t it? I have seen the banners and ads in passing but never made it there. Some cakes look too colourful to eat!!
@Chattywren
Yes, this exhibition happens in December every year.
I am not sure if these cakes can be eaten.
Lion is my super favorite… and those pillows too… the finer details are so well etched…
@Jas
Yes, the detailing in the pillows is too good.
I love the pillows!!! It is so pretty!!
@Divya
Me too!
Wow! Lovely
I can only imagine how hard people must have worked on these to get these fine details 
i think the last one is my favorite as only that one looks eatable 
@Lifesong
True, that – on both counts!
My favourite – the pillows
We visited the exhibition last year, enjoyed it..but it was way too crowded. So anticipating the crowds again, we did not go this time.
@Visha
Yes, it is pretty crowded every year. We chose to go in the afternoon. It was still crowded, but less than in it usually is in the evening.
I really wanted to go this time, but could not make time at all
Thanks for sharing!:)
@Swaram
You are most welcome!
Missed it this year too
Loved the cushion ones.
Having said that , I am yet to see anything that beats these , do check out https://www.facebook.com/#!/CakeCanvasFromAnnAskitchen?fref=ts
@Bindu
I loved the cushions too!
That FB page you shared is gorgeous! That said, I have come across many such cake artists in India and outside, who make equally beautiful cakes. Their creations are too lovely for the user to want to cut and eat them.
They don’t look like cakes at all. Great talents!
@Amit
Hai na?
The stack of pillow cakes is my favourite
And the shoehouse too ! I know this was a cake show, but did you get to sample any cakes ?
@Sudhagee
I loved those pillows, too!
No, we didn’t get to sample any cakes.
