With Christmas songs in the background and a nicely decorated tree gave the feeling that it's festival time again. Though there was no Santa, but there were gifts for the children.

“It is a centuries old custom to soak dry fruits in brandy and rum. The fruits when soaked in alcohol develop a rich and exciting flavour,” said Vasanthan Sigamany, Associate Professor, Bakery of WGSHA.
