At Convent Lane’s Cafe & Bakery, an initiative of Kolkata Mary Ward Social Centre, it was a busy Sunday. “We had thought that we would not be baking this year, but inquiries started coming from November and we started baking on December 10. It will continue till December 24,” said Sister Monica Suchiang, the director of KMWSC.
“It is good because we can make up for some of the losses the Cafe suffered during the lockdown.”
The Cafe & Bakery baked 50kg on Sunday and slots were given to clients to collect their cakes mixed and baked.
Kookie Jar has slashed its Christmas cake variety this year. “We would have 20 special items in previous years, but this year we have five or six. Usually, in winter there would be people from across the world and country in Calcutta, but it has not been so this year,” said Barman, of Kookie Jar.
