42 amazing cake designers from 17 countries around the world have come together to celebrate the Festival of Vesak. Each artist has created a cake to honor the triple anniversary of Lord Buddha – his birth, his attaining Enlightenment and his passing away into Nirvana.
We hope this cake collaboration will help bring enlightenment around the world!

Vesak, the thrice-blessed day, is a time of celebration.
This painted cake is a composition inspired in the birth story of Buddha, that once born he is said to have taken seven steps forward after which a lotus flower arose from each footstep, and in the beautiful lantern tradition, when in the evening thousands of people will throng the streets taking in the wonder of the dainty lanterns and dazzling pandals.

We wish you all a very Happy Vesak Day!
