Nothing unites the country better than ‘Cricket’. So, when it’s the world cup season for India’s most popular sport, everybody joins the bandwagon!! Just as “The way to a Man’s heart is through his Stomach”, so also We at The Culinary Academy of India believe that the way to a Cricketer’s heart is through sheer Gastronomical Delight.
The Culinary Academy of India has created history by making a 15 feet tall & 2 feet wide, ‘edible bat’ & an edible ‘ball’ with a diameter of 60 inches, by just using sugar!This extraordinary, marvelous, huge & sugary centerpiece has been made with Pastillage & Royal Icing, both being sugar confectionery works. Pastillage is a modeling paste made with Icing sugar & corn flour bound together with an edible gum such as gelatin. Royal Icing has been used to engrave the names of the players on this giant sized bat. 200 kg’s of icing sugar, 300 egg whites along with 5 kg’s of gelatin & 20 kg’s of corn flour have been used to create this masterpiece. 3 Chef Instructors assisted by 30 Student Chefs & 120 hours of dedicated work has resulted in this ‘One of a Kind Creation’. The bat showcases the faces of the 15 Indian cricketers with their names who are representing The Blue Billion Express at The ICC World Cup, 2007 in West Indies. From Spectacular feats, to the Unique & sometimes Unusual… The Culinarians Wish the Men in Blue to recreate History as in 1983, so that we can relish the excitement of their endeavors. The bat will be on display in front of the Academy’s campus located at 6-3-1219/6A, Umanagar, Begumpet from the first match that India plays, that is 17th March,2007 till the final to be played on 28th April. Thereafter it will be a feast for the students of the Academy to relish!!
HOO HAA INDIA!! AA YA INDIA!!
