Bengaluru: Bengaluru’s Annual Cake Show is back at Palace Grounds for its 51st edition from Friday, transforming the sprawling venue into a wonderland of edible art.
More than 25 dazzling creations by 50 artists will be on display at Tripura Vasini Gate.
For the first time, the Institute of Baking and Cake Art (IBCA) has used laser-cut technology, sharpening the cakes’ edges.
"While this was possible manually, laser technology saves time and improves details,” said Manish Gaur, the event organiser.
A 'daiva' model, inspired by the Kannada blockbuster Kantara, is this year’s showstopper.
Some of the marvels
Other highlights include Puri Jagannath, Sacred Sea Basilica (Velankanni), an 18-foot Royal Dream Castle, a Cosmic Zodiac Sphere, and a Cristiano Ronaldo kick-off cake.
Artists spent over 70 days crafting these edible masterpieces.
Ramachandran C, who launched the show 51 years ago, said, “My passion for baking began during visits to Germany, Belgium and Italy. My first creation was a 14-foot Eiffel Tower cake. Though I no longer organise the show, I still contribute a large model every year.”
Entry is free and parking is available for visitors.
