Aishwaryaa’s Bakeries in the Tamil Nadu bakery created an edible tribute to industrialist Ratan Tata. A tribute has come for Tata’s love of animals. This Christmas the bakery will craft edible sculptures of famous personalities. Their focus is Tata and his dog. Tata was the ex-chairman of Tata Group, who left the world on October 9, 2024. He was 86 years old. Tata had been an animal lover; there have been two dogs in his household, namely Tito- German Shepherd and Goa -the stray dog he befriended during his tours. Tito and Goa attended his funeral.
Aishwaryaa’s Bakeries has created a life-size ice cake sculpture featuring Tata in a blue shirt and grey trousers shaking hands with Tito, who holds a ball in his mouth. The nearly seven feet long statue is put on display in a glass case outside the bakery. Made from “60 kg of sugar and 250 eggs,” the sculpture is a reflection of Tata’s love for animals, especially his favourite dog Tito. It will be on display throughout the Christmas season.
