Lakeviews Cakes & Bakes

Lakeviews Cakes & Bakes is our little spot over at Maruthi Seva Nagar on Military Square Lane 7. We’ve been here for a while now, and the routine hasn't changed much. Every morning starts quite early, usually before the sun is even up, so we can get the ovens going. It gets pretty hot in the back, but you get used to the heat after a few months. We mostly spend our time mixing dough and making sure the basic cakes are ready for whoever might stop by. It’s nothing like those fancy places you see in the malls. We just have our small counter and a few shelves. Sometimes the flour gets all over the floor and we have to sweep it up three or four times a day. The lane outside can be a bit quiet, but we have our regulars who come in for their daily bread or a small treat. We don't have a big staff, just a couple of us who know how the machines work. Sometimes the older oven acts a bit grumpy and takes longer to heat up. We’ve learned to work around its moods. Maruthi Seva Nagar is a nice enough place to work, even if the traffic on the main road is a mess. We just stay here on Lane 7 and keep busy with our baking. It’s a lot of standing and heavy lifting with the flour bags, but it’s what we do.
