Shared on YouTube by Sideserf Cake Studio, the video has received over 1.9 million views till date. The realistic-looking butter chicken cake was made from scratch in the video. It started with two layers of sponge cake topped with buttercream to form the base of the cake. Next, modelling chocolate was used to create the 'Handi' container of the butter chicken. Brush strokes, edible copper paint and other designs were used to give the bowl utensil an authentic feel. For the butter chicken gravy, Natalie used a mixture of red and white food colours with strawberry sauce.
Indian foodies shared their happiness on seeing the famous baker create a cake from an Indian dish. "Me a vegetarian after seeing this: mumma I'm non veg caketarian," wrote Rituparna Gupta in the comments section. "This girl can change the whole universe in to a cake," said Jyotsna Bisht while MegaGaming wrote, "I am an Indian ...and I appreciate your hard work!"
