Cake
Mixing is a fore token of happiness and well being, it dates back to the 17th
century in Europe. The method of Cake mixing consists of dry fruits like
raisins, black currants, prunes, glazed dates, cherries, candied oranges peel,
nuts like cashew, pistachios and almond, mixed together in wine, spirits, honey
and fresh juices. The alcohol is profusely added into all dry nuts and berries
along with magic of freshly ground spices.
The
ceremony involves tossing all dry ingredients in the liquid mixture till a
point where all the dry ingredients are immensely coated with the liquid, which
is then steeped for over a month in a dry sealed glass bottle. This mixture
requires frequent stirring to make sure that all the nuts are enough nicely
steeped in the mixture.
Happy
cake mixing to all you cake crazy people out there!
