Cinnamon Lakeside Colombo recently welcomed the festive season with its much-anticipated annual cake mixing ceremony, held at the hotel’s scenic Pool Terrace overlooking the Beira Lake.

The cherished tradition marked the official start of Christmas celebrations at the property, bringing together corporate partners, media, and loyal patrons for an evening filled with festive cheer and camaraderie.

Guests joined the hotel’s culinary team in the age-old ritual of blending a rich medley of dried fruits, nuts, and aromatic spices – the heart of the hotel’s signature Christmas cakes and puddings.

Cinnamon Lakeside Colombo General Manager Dushyantha Tittawella shared his thoughts: “The cake mixing ceremony is one of our most treasured traditions, symbolising the spirit of joy, gratitude, and togetherness. At Cinnamon Lakeside, we take pride in creating experiences that bring people closer – blending heritage, craftsmanship, and warm hospitality into moments that our guests carry with them well beyond the festive season.”

The celebration highlighted the artistry of the hotel’s culinary brigade, led by Executive Chef Ashan Liyanage, who guided guests through the ceremonial mixing. Enhanced by elegant festive décor, the event perfectly captured Cinnamon Lakeside’s signature charm as a true “Resort in the City” – a tranquil escape in the heart of Colombo.

Now an eagerly awaited highlight on the city’s festive calendar, the cake mixing ceremony underscores Cinnamon Lakeside’s commitment to preserving timeless culinary traditions while celebrating community spirit. The event also set the stage for the hotel’s festive offerings, which include handcrafted Christmas cakes, hampers, and gourmet dining experiences across its restaurants and outlets throughout the season.
