On Vijay’s 52nd birthday, actress Trisha Krishnan shared a birthday picture with Vijay. The photo showed the two smiling together, and she wrote: “To the one who makes it all worth it. HBD.” Shortly after the photo went viral, many fans began to notice the cakes seen at the celebration.
Nearly a month after photos of the celebration spread on social media, the mango vanilla cake has become one of the bakery’s most popular items.
Poison cake Baker shares her surprise
In a chat with India Today, Chennai-based baker Tanvi Bukaria said the sudden response was completely unexpected. She revealed that her bakery had no idea about preparing the cake on Vijay’s birthday. She said: “This was overnight fame for us. We had no idea what occasion the cake was going to be for. It was incredibly special, and it completely caught me by surprise. The last couple of weeks have been quite chaotic with sales, but I’m grateful for it.”
“She also added, “My team is a huge fan of CM Joseph Vijay.”
The surge in orders
According to Tanvi, the bakery sold about 300 to 400 pieces of the same mango-vanilla cake in just two weeks. She said, “We sold around 300 to 400 of CM Vijay’s birthday cakes in just two weeks. It was absolutely crazy!”The cake also got a new name from customers. People no longer order mango cake, Tanvi said.“It’s not called mango cake anymore,” she said. “It’s now called CM cake. And that’s how customers place their orders now: ‘Can we have CM cake?'”She also said this is the most orders her bakery has ever received for a single cake.Vijay is currently gearing up for the release of his much-awaited film ‘Jana Nayagan’. The film is said to be his last and is scheduled to hit theaters on July 23. After a protracted issue with the CBFC, he has now obtained an ‘A’ certificate.
