Mahabharat - Chariot, Bows and Arrows

This cake theme was inspired by the great sanskript epic of the Mahabharat. The Mahabharat text is a cornerstone of the Hindu belief system, and unravels a story of love, devotion, betrayal and war.

 

The famous 'Battle of Kuruksetra' is often reenacted by young girls and boys as they play fight with their swords, bows and arrows!

 

I tried to capture this with the cake... I was so nervous about how the chariot was going to come together, but somehow it did... I used an image from the holy text of Bhagavad Gita to help me design the chariot.

 

Eggless chocolate sponge layered with eggless vanilla sponge.

 

This cake was one of the 4 (!!!) birthday cakes for 3 year old Dhani from Leicester!
