I Love this Job

I recently hosted the first ever baking class at the bakery and
I have to say that it was the best day ever of my baking career.
Seeing the excitement and enthusiasum in their small faces
reminds me why I do what I do every day. As I prepared for
class I remembered how much fun I used to have baking with
my mom. I enjoyed the planning, organizing, looking though
cookbooks, stirring, waiting and listening to old family stories.
I could pass the day away making baby cakes in my
Easy Bake oven. We would always start with putting
on one of my grandmothers aprons. To this day I still collect
vintage aprons.
I wanted to teach them something that they would always
remember too which began with putting on one of my
vintage aprons. They got such a kick out of picking one
out of the big basket.
All of these girls touched me in a very special way and in turn
gave me something new to remember everyday.

I love baking. I love the memories and he smells that remind
me of my mom especially since she has passed away. We just
never know how little life experiences will touch our lives.
I still remember the stories. You will hear me tell them.
Baking with the girls today was the best day ever...
until I get to bake tomorrow.

The pictures really convey the joy and amazement that your class is bringing to their lives. I love the idea of baking classes for children, so inventive...
Congrats on being Best Bakery,again, this year, not a big shocker (I crave your chocolate chips almost everyday), as I tell people even up north that when they travel south they have to go to Back in the Day.
Wow great pictures! It looks like it was a big success.

Hi Cheryl, thank you for your kind note on my blog. What a fun event you had here, I can almost hear the children's laughter, the pictures are absolutely wonderful too.
Thank you for posting this statement. I am a baker...at the beginning of my career. The process of creating a lovely dessert from scratch is fantastic. The joy I see on happy little (and big) mouths make it worthwhile. It is so scary to start a business. I look at your site and read your blog to just continue to encourage myself to keep going. Thank you.
Reine
