Secret behind Salman Khan's gigantic floating birthday cake

Published

Salman Khan's 50th Birthday bash was indeed a grand affair and the pictures from the party are still making their way on the social media and the news portals.

Sister Arpita Khan shared some of the inside images from the party but what caught our attention is the gigantic birthday cake.

The anti-gravity or popularly known as floating cake was the star on the evening of India's biggest superstar's birthday.

His youngest sister Arpita booked an order for the cake a week before his birthday with no idea of how the cake would look like.


She wanted something extravagant and never seen before creation.

The team from Mish Mash bakery brainstormed for many ideas after which they finalised on this anti-gravity enormous cube cake.

They were inspired by GT cakes, a bakery based in the states.


After getting approval for the design, they sat out to think about the embellishments of the cake.

Arpita suggested the different elements on the cake to make it more personalised.

Initially there were 300 pictures of Salman that were given to the team out of which they had to choose the best ones to make a fondant from.


With just 3 specifications, the team consisting of Pooja and Shikha from the Mish Mash bakery based in Juhu (Mumbai) weaved their magic around the 50kgs cake worth over Rs1 lakh (Dh5500).

The floating cake was made with an internal structure that was built out of metal and wood which balances the entire cake on itself.

A special floating brownie cake that weighed around 50kgs was then carried to Salman's farm house where the party was being held.

Mish Mash bakery posted their experience on their Facebook page and wrote:

"So I want to share the story behind this madness and this huge cake it all started with a call from Pooja Dhingra on my first holiday with my husband and coordinating this cake with my co-partner Shweta Somaiya in this madness was a task. So nothing goes easy when it’s such a huge cake. All her efforts was really valuable. We had a lot of madness while doing this.


2 days, a broken internal structure just before the day of the cake, changing the structure, to the cake turning out to be smaller than the structure just 4 hours before the delivery. Shweta Somaiya working all night on the flowers. And to top the madness we completed the cake stopping the car on the highway with people starring inside the car. And it did not stop here the road to the venue was the highlight bumpy as hell with my rockstar dinesh holding the cake.

All is well that ends well. When the person who ordered the cake, the person who cut the cake and the people who made it are content.


This cake would not would have been possible without a few so we would like to thank them Priyank Murarka Priyanka Sunita Murarka Renu Murarka Sourabh Mutha

Thank u Shweta Somaiya this is just the beginning of our journey together for bigger things :)."

So now we know how the cake was made.


Sister Arpita got on to her Instagram account and has been sharing the special decor that was done up at the venue.

She also posted pictures of the customized desserts kept for Salman's guests.
 
However, the best picture is that of Salman holding the big knife, all smiles and ready to cut the cake.
