Cakebite Confectionery Private Limited

You can find our shop at 74 Ghorpade Peth, which is right by the Mehta Driving School. It’s an old part of Pune, and the streets are quite narrow and busy most of the time. Cakebite Confectionery Private Limited is a pretty simple setup. We don't have a big, shiny storefront. Most of our space is taken up by the ovens, the mixing tables, and the storage racks. We usually start our day when most of the city is still asleep so that we can have everything ready by the time the neighborhood wakes up. It’s a lot of manual work, like lugging heavy sacks of ingredients and scrubbing down the trays. We don't have a marketing person or a social media manager. Most of the people who come to us are locals who have been living in Ghorpade Peth for years. We know the regular faces and the sounds of the street outside. Sometimes the deliveries get stuck in traffic or we run out of a particular ingredient because the supplier was late, but we just handle it. It’s not a perfect business, and we don't pretend it is. We just try to get things done and keep the place running. There’s usually flour on someone’s clothes and the smell of sugar in the air. It’s just a normal, everyday business run by people who are just trying to do their jobs and get home at night.
