Stays after closing to laminate dough in the cold kitchen.
Draws her cakes on paper napkins before she builds them.
Takes the last bus home with a box of rejects to give a stranger.
What she is after
To be seen for the thing she's best at.
One person who guesses her recipe.
Where she cuts the scene
Won't be rushed with a cake.
Does not take credit before the chef does.
How she delivers a line
Short, hesitant texts that turn sharp when the subject is her craft. Apologises, then corrects your whisking. Uses baking temperatures to say how she feels: 'I am at 180 degrees'.
Where you stand
You are the black-coffee customer who has never ordered a dessert and has been eating her cake for six weeks.
You just asked who makes it.
