Kathmandu Marriott Hotel ushered in the festive spirit with great enthusiasm as it hosted its annual Cake Mixing Ceremony, a cherished tradition that brings together guests, partners, and the hotel team in joyful celebration. This year’s event was marked by spirited participation, warm hospitality, and a renewed emphasis on community bonding.
The ceremony began with an engaging welcome address by Subarna Thapa, who greeted guests and highlighted the significance of the festive ritual. He expressed his appreciation for the presence of distinguished attendees and emphasized how the event symbolizes unity, celebration, and the shared anticipation of the holiday season.
Following the welcome speech, Executive Chef Anil provided an insightful briefing on the heritage of cake mixing and guided guests through the process. He elaborated on the selection of premium ingredients and the aromatic blend of spices traditionally used for the festive fruit mix. Chef Anil explained how dried fruits such as raisins, cherries, apricots, dates, figs, and an assortment of nuts are carefully combined with warm spices including cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. The mixture is then infused with spirits and fruit juices, allowing it to mature over several weeks to achieve a rich, full-bodied flavor.
Guests joined in the mixing ritual with excitement, donning aprons and gloves as they took part in blending the vibrant assortment of fruits and spices. The lively atmosphere was filled with music, laughter, and a shared sense of celebration as participants worked together to prepare what would later become Kathmandu Marriott’s signature festive cakes and pastries.
The Cake Mixing Ceremony is an annual event celebrated across Marriott properties worldwide, symbolizing prosperity, good fortune, and the beginning of festive preparations. At Kathmandu Marriott, this tradition also fosters community engagement and reflects the hotel’s commitment to creating memorable experiences for its guests and partners.
By continuing this cherished custom, Kathmandu Marriott Hotel reinforces its dedication to celebrating culture, culinary expertise, and heartfelt hospitality — setting the tone for a delightful and festive holiday season ahead.
