If the metric for judging restaurants is by how well timeless dishes are made, CakeWalk Cafe seems to have figured out how to give its audience an easy bite of the classic margarita pizza.
The trick is in getting the dough right, says Pooja Srinivasan who forms the second generation of this family business. They also have a new woodfired oven to ensure that the char is right and that the cheese melts the way it should.
Pooja and her sister Kavya have walked the halls of CakeWalk, a bakery on Sterling Road, since it was opened by their father G Srinivasan, 33 years ago. They are familiar with the bakery’s nooks and crannies, its billing process, the recipe for their iconic chocolate truffle, and the staff who have worked there for years. “We used to spend all our time here, playing, doing homework. Now our children are doing the same,” says Pooja. Timelessness — especially in the realm of food — has been an integral part of their growing up years.
