I loved reading all these comments. I had a wholesale baking business when my daughter was a baby and she spent her childhood with me in the kitchen. Today, at 18, she can't stand cooking! When I delivered wedding cakes close to home, she always sat in the back with the cake to make sure it didn't slide around. I had a wedding cake this fall a month after I dropped her off at college and cried when she asked who helped me deliver it. I miss her every day but get fan mail via her Facebook from college friends who love the treats I send. Happy Baking to all of you and your little ones. Thanks for sharing this. I remember the year I went off to college was the year I started collecting favorite family recipes - I needed those comforts of home. Maybe your daughter will come around. ;-) It's nice that you send tasty treats to stay connected! -Allison
