Cake Shop

Down in Sanjay Nagar Darukhana, we’ve got this little Cake Shop. It’s a small space, so we have to be careful not to trip over each other when we’re working. We focus on cakes for birthdays and local gatherings. The counter is usually covered in crumbs or bits of icing by the end of the day. We aren't doing anything revolutionary here. We just follow the recipes and hope the ovens behave. Sometimes the fridge makes a weird humming noise, but it keeps everything cold enough. We know the people around Sanjay Nagar pretty well. They come in for a quick slice or to pick up something they ordered a few days ago. The shelves are mostly filled with basic supplies like candles and paper plates. We don’t have fancy uniforms or a big marketing plan. We just show up and get to work. It gets hot in the back during the afternoon. We try to keep things simple and honest. If a cake doesn't turn out right, we start over. That's just how it goes. The front door has a bell that rings whenever someone comes in, which helps since we're usually in the back. We have a couple of old chairs in the corner, but nobody really sits in them for long. The walls could use a fresh coat of paint, but we're too busy with the baking for that. It’s a small operation, just a few of us. We just handle things as they come up.
