Baking, Maybe That’s Your Purpose Today

“Cakes are special. Every birthday, every celebration ends with something sweet, a cake, and people remember. It’s all about the memories.”

– Buddy Valastro

I can’t shake this specific childhood memory with my cousin.

We couldn’t have been more than four years old. It still makes us laugh today. My cousin claims somebody sat her on the counter’s edge right on the cake. I just remember the squashed cake and her orange polyester pants covered in frosting!

Have you ever had one of those photos as a kid when your cake slid off the plate? Instead of sprinkles, it ended up with grass!

Maybe it’s time to bake a cake; after all, my birthday is coming. Ooh, or perhaps banana bread? What is something you have been craving? Chances are other family members have been too.
