Bani nodded, excitement bubbling in her chest. "I'm setting up a small shop nearby, and I'll also take online orders soon."
Encouraged by the growing interest, she moved to another location—closer to home, where locals and office-goers could also get a taste of her creations. Each time she handed out a sample, she watched their expressions closely—the surprise, the delight, the quiet moment of indulgence. It was more than just food. It was an experience.
Meanwhile, Aman worked tirelessly in the background. He had taken charge of everything technical—designing an attractive signboard for Bani's shop, setting up an online website where customers could browse her menu, and organizing a professional photoshoot of her delicacies.

She had spent the past few days perfecting every single item on her menu, ensuring that each bite was a reflection of her dedication and love for baking. From fluffy croissants to soft, melt-in-your-mouth cookies, every product was crafted with care, using the freshest ingredients she could source—many from the magical space itself.
Today was an important day. Aman had arranged for a professional photoshoot, capturing the essence of her baked goods in the best possible light. The pictures would be used for her shop's signboard, the online website, and promotional materials. Presentation mattered, and Bani wanted everything to look as inviting as it tasted.
She carefully arranged the pastries on wooden trays, adding subtle decorations like edible flowers and sprigs of fresh herbs. The photographer, a young woman with an artistic eye, adjusted the lighting, making sure every detail stood out—the golden crispiness of the puff pastries, the delicate swirl of frosting on cupcakes, the rich texture of brownies.
"These look absolutely stunning," the photographer commented as she clicked a few test shots.
Bani watched with quiet satisfaction. Every photograph captured the essence of her hard work, making the treats look not only delicious but irresistible. Aman stood nearby, checking the images and discussing the website layout with the photographer.
"The photos will be ready by tomorrow," he said, turning to Bani. "With these, your menu will look professional and appealing. People eat with their eyes first, after all."
Bani nodded, a small smile forming on her lips. This was it—the moment where her dream started taking true shape. She wasn't just making food; she was creating an experience, a brand that people would come to love and trust
