MY STORY
Baking for the ones I love has been a part of my life ever since I can remember. One of my first and fondest memory of baking was when I was still in grade school. I baked my first birthday cake for my dad. It was a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. I'm sure it looked like a hot mess. There was just as much frosting on the platter as there was on the cake but my daddy didn't care. He hugged and kissed me and told me it was the best cake he ever had. From that moment on I was hooked! I loved the way my heart felt when I was able to bring others pleasure with my baked goods.
Soon after my first cake I expanded my horizons and started baking cookies, cupcakes, and cinnamon rolls. My family (expecailly my brothers) were in heaven! What fun it was to create something that everyone enjoyed.
Now forty years later I have learned that in order for me to feel whole I need to be creating something and my favorite is creating baked goods!
