The celebrations and songs on the streets have found their way up to your doorstep, and Vinyaka Chathurthi is here already! Mouth-watering noshes are kept off the reach of toddlers who might never call it quits with them. And amidst this fervour is a baker who did something eye-popping for Ganesha's birthday—she carved him off white chocolate! Swati Subramaniam who owns the online bakery 'Dessertfully Urs' spoke to _Onmanorama_ on her chocolate Ganesha. “I was inspired a while ago, when a fellow baker had created a chocolate Ganesha, so for this Vinayaka Chathurthi, I tried to do my own version of white chocolate Ganesha”, she said. Bejewelled and with a red tikka on his forehaed, the Ganesha looks imperial; he has his mooshika for company and holds a mothagam in one hand. His love for the sweet snack is widely popular across cultures and mythologies. “I did not use a mould, I worked with hand”, Swati said. The Ganesha was made for a customer who had placed an order, and Swati claims that after the pooja, the Ganesha would be immersed in milk, which would then become the _prasad_ (divine offering) for the evening. A white chocolate _prasad_ that none can have enough!
