My mom use to bake me a princess Birthday cake that the cake was the doll's skirt and a real Barbie doll was put in the middle. Mom showed me than how fun it is to bake so I continue to enjoy it today. I even have entered some cake competitions at local and state fairs. But, the memory that stands out the most in my mind in my mom's baking experience is when she made 400 cupcakes for a school bake sale because she could not find people to bake them at a short notice and she wheeled them to my elementary school in my wagon. She left without giving her name and in the school newsletter was a thank you to the person who dropped off the cupcakes. My mom still enjoys baking today at 79 years old. Without her teaching me the fun of baking I would of not enjoyed it as much as I do today. Thanks mom!
