DUBAI 6 December 2018: Mall of the Emirates and Kempinski Hotel Mall of the Emirates will ring in the festive season on Friday 7 December from 10am at the Annual Stollen Charity Cake Sale in the South Galleria of the mall.
Now in its 13th year, the highly anticipated festive family event is set to be bigger and better than ever before with the goal of selling a record amount of the festive German Cake, with proceeds from the sale going to the Emirates Red Crescent charity.
Led by Sudqi Naddaf, Executive Chef at Kempinski Hotel Mall of the Emirates, a team of 12 chefs spent weeks preparing and baking around the clock to create the largest string of stollen made to-date. With the help of a team of over 50 volunteers, the Annual Stollen Charity Cake Sale is set to be a huge success once again.
By tomorrow, the team will have used more than 2,500 eggs, 625 kilograms of flour, 290 kilograms of raisins and 65 kilograms of marzipan to create this mouth-watering delicacy. Moreover, 133 kilograms of lemons and 142 kilograms of oranges will be zested to give the cake a burst of citrus flavour.

“Each year we set a new challenge to raise more for charity than ever before and we hope to achieve a fundraising record to support the Emirates Red Crescent charity. We applaud them for their continuous efforts and look forward to gifting a healthy sum towards their humanitarian work. We would like to thank our colleagues who volunteer their time to assist selling every last slice of cake,” said Nada Abou Saab, Marketing Director, Shopping Malls (East region), Majid Al Futtaim Properties.
