Remember the Raichands from K3G by Karan Johan? When the movie got released in 2021, many of you must have rocked the dance floor with "Shava Shava" while falling in love with SRK all over again. This time, a themed has taken all the K3G fans and culinary enthusiasts on a nostalgic trip.
As the reel unfolds, viewers are treated to a visual and narrative journey through the cake's design. The centerpiece of this culinary masterpiece is the Raichand Mansion, elegantly crafted to serve as the backdrop. In a nod to the film's memorable scene featuring the song "Suraj Hua Maddham," the baker has artfully piped part of the sun shining over one corner of the cake.
The design cleverly integrates iconic structures such as India Gate and Qutub Minar on one side, symbolizing the characters' roots in Delhi. In contrast, the opposite side of the cake features representations of Big Ben and London Bridge, reflecting the characters' relocation to London.
The attention to detail extends to more nuanced elements of the film as well. The landscape around the mansion is peppered with references such as a plate of laddoos, an aarti thali, and a hovering helicopter. A silhouette of the family picture, central to the film's theme of familial bonds and legacy, holds a place of prominence in the center of the cake.
