India Blooms News Service
Kolkata, Dec 21 (IBNS) Christmas is the time for merriment! Remember how the avaricious Scrooge redeemed himself after being escorted by phantoms to Fezziwig, Fred and Cratchits’ Christmas parties?
Now that Christmas is in the offing, forget all your worries and take home truckloads of luscious cakes, puddings, cookies and chocolates! The city’s newest hangout zone, Coffee World and Cream & Fudge Factory is all decked up for Christmas celebrations.
There are stories abound regarding the origin of Christmas cakes. One of them has it that after the banning of Twelfth Night as a day of celebration by Queen Victoria, the confectioners began to bake fruitcakes for the Christmas eve instead of the Twelfth Night cakes. The cakes were seasoned with dried fruits and spices which represented the exotic spices of the East, and the gifts of the Wise Men. Since then plum cakes, fruit cakes, rum-n-raisin cakes have become eternal favorites for Christmas festivities.
Coffee World and Cream & Fudge Factory showcased all of these amidst the perfect Christmas ambience at their south Kolkata outlet days before Christmas.
The Yuletide spirit suffuses every human soul with the virtues of sharing and philanthropy. It is almost a ritual to exchange cookies and chocolates during this season. No matter how much you savor throughout the year, these specialties always taste best during this season. Keeping this in mind, the outlet has also baked cookies and chocolates especially for Christmas. |
