With 52 days remaining for Christmas, preparations have begun at a hotel in Thoothukudi to make 400 kg of rich plum cake using premium dry fruits and other ingredients, including cashew nuts, almonds, pistachios, raisins and figs.

Christmas is celebrated with much enthusiasm in Thoothukudi, which has a sizeable Christian population. Buying cakes and distributing them as gifts to friends, relatives and neighbours is an important part of the celebrations.

As part of the preparations, the cake-making process commenced at the DSF Grand Plaza Hotel in Thoothukudi on Tuesday. The hotel began preparations for its popular rich plum cakes by soaking nearly 90 kg of dry fruits, nuts and other ingredients in fruit juices, honey and premium alcoholic beverages.

The ingredients include raisins, cashew nuts, almonds, walnuts, cherries, figs, lemon rinds, tutti-frutti, orange peel and apricots.

The hotel management and its team of chefs, wearing Santa Claus caps, enthusiastically joined the preparations and welcomed the festive season by raising Christmas greetings.

The soaked ingredients will be allowed to mature for around 40 days. The mixture will then be used to prepare nearly 400 kg of rich plum cake, which will be ready for sale about 10 days before Christmas.

DSF Grand Plaza Managing Director Chandra said the cakes were prepared using nutritious ingredients to appeal to people across age groups. The hotel had been following the tradition of preparing Christmas cakes for the past 18 years.

While 300 kg of cake was prepared in 2025, the target has been increased to 400 kg this year, she added.
