Tengrith Cake (TENG-rith)

The people of @Brankara celebrate their children's passage to adulthood with Tengrith cake. Brankara is considered the bread-basket of the Sundered Lands, and many of the Brankaran peoples' rituals revolve around food.
A fluffy slab of cake made with wheat flour or corn flour, depending on the region, is soaked in a mixture of alcohol and honey for several days, then layered with cream whipped with sugar to form a stiff mixture. A second slab of the soaked cake is laid on top, and then cream which has been whipped to a softer degree is piped across the top. The cake is finished with caramelised sugar poured out into thin, translucent sheets before being broken up into small pieces and scattered across the piped sweet cream. Other versions of the cake have small birds-nests of drizzled caramelised sugar and honey which are then filled with piped sweet cream before being placed on the top of the cake.
The cake is usually chilled in the village cool-room before being served.
The cake is a celebration of the fact that the children are now able to take part in the work and activities of adults, and bears some resemblance to the cakes baked for weddings. The ritual celebrations are frequently timed to allow several new young adults observing their birthdays to enjoy a joined event, with their families pooling their resources to ensure the best possible celebration for all of them.
Although the children will have been exposed to small amounts of alcohol with their meals for some years previously, the Tengrith cake is the most concentrated alcohol they will likely have been exposed to. Their reactions are watched, to determine how well they will be able to keep up with their peers in future parties, as the Brankaran people are known for both working hard and playing hard.
