I was quite honored to be invited by Tina Scott Parashar into the Incredible India – An International Cake Collaboration <3 When I thought of India, there were so many incredible parts in the past and present which make this rich country such a beautiful place to celebrate. I had to narrow down my choices and I picked Lord Ganesh. Lord Ganesh is the most widely recognized Hindu deity. He is the Lord of Good Fortune who provides prosperity, fortune and success. He is the Lord of Beginnings and the Remover of Obstacles of both material and spiritual kinds. He’s worshiped first before invoking any other deity in Hindu mythology. He was born with a normal human head which was destroyed but then replaced with his elephant head. Hindus believe that Lord Ganesh’s stomach houses the entire cosmos. Because the festival of Ganesh Chaturthi started in August this year, I chose to depict this deity on this red cake as if made from red porcelain. This festival remembers his birthday and celebrates him for 11 days! This is a cherry chocolate chip pound cake filled with vanilla buttercream, then decorated with Satin Ice fondant. Such a pleasure to celebrate India; a colorful and diverse country with a rich history!
