Cake Walk For Lighthouse Kids
Lighthouse children visit Mongiland – Mongini’s Andheri factory. Monginis is an Indian pastry and bakery chain based in Mumbai with outlets in different cities in India and Egypt.
Black forest, zebra torte, Ferrero Rocher cake, mixed fruit cake – these are just a few of the cakes confectionery giant Monginis produces everyday at their Andheri production unit. The facility imaginatively named Mongiland played
host to 35 of our Lighthouse students aged 6 to 11 years on Saturday, March 7th.
First on the agenda was a factory tour and the little ones gazed in wonder at the tempting array of cakes and pastries on display as guide Mr. Tejas proudly showcased the newest innovations – Green forest cake – to celebrate nature and pastry cups in falooda, rasmalai and gulab jamun flavours. “Wow! It’s like magic” was what the little
ones exclaimed as they watched an ordinary-looking piece of sponge being transformed into a delectable cake right before their eyes and instantly fell in love with the cute marzipan animals perched atop the cakes in the Special
Orders dept.
Afterwards, the group adjourned to the playroom where children watched a short film showcasing the Monginis brand and its various offerings. This was followed by a quick tutorial on garnishing and finally the piece de resistance – each child got a chance to design his/ her own little cake for a loved one. Snacks were served and, yes, each child got generous slices of Monginis’ famous chocolate and vanilla cream cakes.
After a boisterous session in the kiddie gym area, it was time to return home. The youngsters headed back with a case of sweet treats, a souvenir apron and happy memories of an enjoyable afternoon.
