The Desserts Factory

If you head down Airport Road towards the Kodigahalli Gate, you’ll find us at Sahakar Nagar 217/1. The Desserts Factory is a bit of a weird spot, being so close to the airport traffic, but it works for us. The building itself is nothing special to look at from the outside, but inside we are always busy with something. We spend a lot of time weighing out flour and sugar and making sure the ovens are at the right temperature. It’s a hot job, especially in the middle of the day, and we all end up with flour on our clothes by the end of the shift. We started out with just one small oven and a couple of pans, but we’ve slowly added more bits and pieces over time. The floor is made of old tiles that are a bit cracked in the corners, but we keep them as clean as we can. We get a lot of people who are on their way to catch a flight and just want something to take with them. It’s a lot of repeating the same movements every day, but there’s a kind of rhythm to it that I like. Sometimes the mixing machine breaks down and we have to do everything by hand until the repairman shows up, which is never as fast as we’d like. We just keep making the batches and hoping the traffic isn't too bad when the delivery guy needs to get out.
