Aslam Bhai’s cake a must for Christmas
RELATED
ALLAHABAD: A Muslim family of Sangam City is working time. They want to make Christmas memorable for people through their special Christmas cake. Aslam Bhai's whose cake is famous across the country is a perfect example of Ganga-Jamuni tehzeeb of the city. People come from nearby cities to get cakes made by him.
Be it wedding in far flung cities, including Bangalore, Kota, Mumbai and Delhi, or in Lucknow, Kanpur or Varanasi, no celebration is complete without the mouth-watering cakes prepared at Bushy Bakery managed by Aslam and his four brothers, each handling a separate workload. Even the working style of the bakery is unique. Customers arrive with carefully selected ingredients, they then sit inside the bakery, gossiping and helping the bakers before returning home with their cake. The entire process is satisfying and concludes with exchange of warm greetings before leaving the bakery.
"Our's is a combo pack of showroom-cum-bakery as we don't have anything to hide from customers. It is the love of our customers that has made us famous across length and breath of the country. Many of them are coming here for past several decades," said Mohammad Aslam, whose six-year-old son Mohammad Zaid is standing beside him waiting for his turn to break the eggs. "This is how I learnt the skills from my father Haji Mohammad Jumerati who migrated to Allahabad from Ghazipur in 1963. Along with my mother Zainab Nisa, he prepared best of cakes," he added.
"Along with basic ingredients like maida, eggs, sugar and desi ghee, we also put petha, ginger, nutmeg, javitri, saunf, cinnamon and local marmalades—all goes inside the baking oven in front of the watchful eyes of the costumers," he further said.
Aslam has a long list of prominent personalities who have tasted and appreciated his preparations, including an elephant cake for BSP supremo Mayawati, one for vice-chancellor of SHIATS Prof RB lal, Captain Shushil Browne of Delhi etc along with numerous families of not only Allahabad but also from Lucknow, Varanasi, Gorakhpur, Kanpur etc.
"I have been coming to this bakery for the last 21 years and will continue doing in future too. The same goes for everyone who has tasted these cakes once or has enjoyed the love and warmth of this family," said Rev. Rajesh AK Joseph.
Waiting for her turn flying officer Shobhita of Indian Air Force said, "These cakes are so delicious that no two cakes ever taste the same. My home coming is never complete without these cakes. I have to send some for my sister in Ahmedabad too."
