When we are speaking about decorating a ‘Paan’, it involves more than just a few things. The crunchy and sweet taste of a Paan is a worth it mixes with that of a cake. 

And, the first ingredient of a Paan Cake is a ‘Paan’. The second and the most essential ingredient is betel leaves and betel nuts. Without these two unique ingredients, your paan is utterly incomplete. 

Apart from this, there are many other ingredients which are totally dependent on the person who is eating them. But, you can incorporate almost every sweet thing inside your concoction. To make it personalised, and quirky add essence and other such assorted flavours. 

These days, chocolate Paan and ‘malai’ Paan are literal things. So, wisely use such tastes in your Paan Cake. Some common decorations are Fennel Seeds, cardamom, betel nuts, crushed dry fruits, Gulkand, ‘Chavanprash’ and obviously colourful rice sprinkles. 

Incorporate the betel nuts crushed and sliced on the cold sweet leaf. You have to prepare the betel leaf first, by cooling it for a while, then incorporating the finest ingredients in the right way and at the right time. These ingredients are not at all compulsory, this can range between your choice of flavour and the taste.

Everyone has their unique pallets, and this has nothing to do with the occasion Or the season. For innovative Paans, you can definitely use freshly cut fruits, chocolate chips and sauce, Caramel Candy and Sauce too. 

For a conventional Paan experience, I suggest you should use the unique taste of Gulkand in your Paan Cake. This wouldn’t at all be harmful, rather this brings out the best experience from a simplistic cake. Especially when someone is asking for a flavoursome dessert, that endorses the most essential part of the meal.
