My all time favorite memories from growing up, are from helping my mom with holiday baking—making fudge with nuts, gingerbread and sugar cookies, and then decorating the cookies after they cooled—before she passed away from lung cancer the summer inbetween my sixth and seventh grade years.
When I think of happy holidays and family memories, those long, flour packed (pun not initially intended, but intended, lol) days are where I go.
Looking back, I appreciate my mom and the woman she was for so many reasons, one of which was how she set me up to be a learner and positive in life, and to learn from experiences and listening to others.
Baking is something she used to help me learn math, time management skills, science, sustainability, sustenance and nourishment, creativity, and so much more.
Baking is a way I have paid my rent and bills since those gingerbread and fudge filled days of my childhood, working in local bakeries and coffee shops and learning the craft and growing as a baker.
Now as a home baker I am competing in this year’s Greatest Baker! If I won I’d be able to start the business I’m planning which would benefit other home bakers! Not to mention, finally get my own KitchenAid mixer to keep up with my baking projects. Vote for me daily by clicking the link below.
