This cake was for my very talented brother who plays the sitar quite well. It was designed after his sitar which our father bought about 50+ years ago when he started to learn to play. This instrument went with us everywhere. It did not travel well on the way to the US; the gourd was broken when we picked it up at JFK, but thanks to some crazy glue and the hard work of our cousin, this antique is whole again and plays very well.
The round gourd (kaddu) was a vanila cake with passion fruit mousse filling and the long section was a Grandma's chocolate cake with chocolate mousse filling.... Yum! now thats music to my ears.
I made this painting of my brother playing the very sitar about a decade ago. He has a good ear for music and prefers to play by ear.
Great work Neelum; sounds delicious!!!
