Special Report:   Terror attacks in Mumbai

An Indian baker has paid tribute to Mumbai's Taj Mahal Hotel the only way he knows how by baking a cake.

The baker has modeled a cake resembling the historic hotel that bore the brunt of recent terror attacks.

As cakes are an important part of Christmas and New Year celebrations, the baker thought it would be a unique way to express solidarity with the victims of last month's terror attacks.

The baker said the cake would remind people of the incident that violently disrupted the peace in one of India's most beautiful places.
