Cake mixing ceremony dates back to 17th century Europe and marked the arrival of the harvest season. During this time, plums and nuts were harvested in bulk to make traditional plum cakes. The ingredients were mixed ahead of time with wine and liquor to soak and allow them to develop aroma and the rich flavours.

This year also Traffic Gastropub had embraced the age old tradition of Cake Mixing Ceremony. Headed by the owners Swastik Nag, Siddharth Gupta and Sekhar Chatterjee, the other members of the outlet including the Executive Chef also joined their hands to celebrate this ceremony of cake mixing.

The ceremony witnessed an array of dry fruits consisting of tutti-frutti mix, raisin, cashew nuts, red, yellow and green cherries, murabba etc all together in the heady concoction of Red Wine and Rum.

This cake mixing marked as the initiation of the warmth and merriment of the upcoming Christmas season.
