This cake looks like a stack of vintage books in “Urdu” the official language of Pakistan also spoken in many parts of India. The word Urdu is derived
from a Turkish word “ordu” which means army. It is a mix of several languages
like Farsi and Arabic. It is very similar to spoken Hindi language of India but
is written in Persian script. Urdu is the most expressive language. The sound
patterns, the cadence, the lyricism, the expressiveness and eloquence are
unparalleled. It has the emotional depth and ability to convey so much-
virtually any emotion or experience in a mere couplet. It deeply touches and
brings together people across age groups, regions, religions, boundaries. It is
not merely a language but a culture.
This cake was for an event with an Urdu theme. The stack of vintage
books with topics representing Urdu prose and poetry were quite popular
at the event. If you opened the
two books on the top you would find chocolate cake with chocolate mousse
filling covered with chocolate fondant. The bottom two books were carrot cake
with cream cheese filling. Enjoy.
Hmmm I disagree with some comments.
ReplyDeleteUrdu is expressive but not the "most" expressive language, ... the "most" expressive language is without doubt Arabic. Arabic stays unparalleled, Urdu definitely has a high place but cannot exceed Arabic. I say so despite the fact that Urdu is my mother tongue and the language I am most comfortable with. chun
