The 42nd annual cake show, organised in association with the National Consumer Fair, was inaugurated on Friday at St Joseph’s Indian High School grounds. The show will be open to the public from 11 am to 9 pm daily till January 1, 2017.
The big attraction this year is the London Tower Bridge, a 24X7 feet structure made entirely of sugar and weighing over 500 kg. Making the individual towers, suspension cables, and getting the Victorian Gothic style right took over 700 man hours. Sam Ramachandran, one of the cake artists, said, “It took a lot of patience because everything has to be according to measurements. It is much like engineering.”
Other major attractions include Thanjavur painting of a female dancer, with finely detailed with edible lace and jewellery. The creator, Purva Sadvilkar took special Thanjavur painting classes six months in advance to prepare for the final piece.
