Cake Gallery in a Bakery

Another Xmas, and similar sights are abound in Trivandrum. I sit in my house playing Jim Reeves tracks from YouTube, thinking of how the same track I payed on a gramophone record.

Outside, thee’s a general humbug of Xmas, end of one year. First thing you notice in any bakeries in Trivandrum are the lines of cakes. The sights are pretty same, cakes looks copied from last years design. Every cake looks like a copycat, nothing original!

Plain Vanilla 
Going by what Seth Godin’s punch line, it’s average products for average people.Or rather, average cake for average people.

So, why are the bakers sticking to the factory kind of production. Just some icing, some flowers and you have the cake. Only difference I saw this time came from a venture called ‘Square One Talent in Trivandrum’.

This place had a cake sale, and display of various other items like (bed spreads, paper quiled greeting cards,  traditional snacks, at a church hall in Vellayambalam. One thing I liked was the assorted array of cakes, and pastries. Also they had kappa biryani, which we bought from them. The ladies and gentlemen managing these stalls happily provided assistance and had wonderful enthusiasm in them. I hardly see such proactive sales people in Trivandrum. Well, they are the trend setters.
