Cakes are something which is adored by kids and a favorite amongst the adults. Seldom we see birthdays that go without the official cake cutting ceremonies. Perhaps nothing can compensate for blowing of candles and cutting of cakes.
Like most of us, I belong to a middle class Indian household. And just like an average Indian birthdays in our house were these small family affairs. Apart from the regular food, what made these birthdays special was of course cake cutting! Being born in the 80s, we didn’t have much choices when it came to cakes. Neither were they as they grand in style or lavish in structure as they are in the present times. Whatever, the scenario, cakes were the favourite feature of this parties for who can resist a mouthful of creamy delicious cakes!?.
Fast forwarding to the modern times, as I visit these birthday parties, and see these toddlers and teenagers having their time, with a lump sum of their favourite pastries, cupcakes and desserts, memories of those forgotten years of childhood return back.
The milieu has all changed. Parties today are more opulent. Parents are willing to spend on the birthdays of their kids. Cakes too have changed, they come in so many shapes, textures, set ups, flavor etc. But, perhaps….what remains constant is the emotions attached to the process of cake cutting. The joy that one sees, in the face of the birthday girl or boy, as well as the audience, well that’s what life is made of! Cakes are indeed the desserts of life.
Nowadays, there are various cooking institute in India which offer various courses in cake making. One can learn to make the best cakes here. This facility was not available few decades back, at least in India. Perhaps, I was born in the wrong era !
These institutes offer various cake making and decorating courses which are of various types. Right from long term courses, to courses of small duration, these cake making and pastry institutes have much to offer.
The short term baking courses are perfect for people who lack time and want a quick swot up on the various aspects of cake making.
Academy of pastry Arts is one institute which has all the aforesaid characteristics of a good cake making institute.
