Sweet memories

My Grandmother (we called her G-Ma)
was a fabulous baker and made the best pies.
My mom was a great cook,
but not overly fond of baking.
So, by the time I was 10 I became the
family baker of birthday cakes and cookies.
I've always assumed I got that baking gene
from my G-Ma. When I visited
her I watched and learned that baking
was as easy as .....
ONE
TWO
THREE!!!
~~~~~
So,thanks G-Ma for teaching me
how to make all those yummy desserts.
What a sweet gift it is!

What a lovely tribute to your G-Ma. It's great to continue on a great tradition as baking. I do the same with my mothers Thanksgiving meal. It's just like mom used to make and everyone shows up to continue the tradition.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day honey. ♥♥♥
Glad grandma taught you to bake!
ReplyDeleteCan I have a cookie?
I wish I had a baking gene. This post makes me crave some sweets :)
ReplyDeleteOh, those cookies look positively delicious. It really is neat that your grandma gifted you with her love of baking, a very special gift indeed!! (Now I am hungry. Smiles.)
ReplyDeleteOur relatives live forever in the gifts they've passed along to us.
ReplyDeleteThis is a fun one--and makes me want to go eat the cookies--maybe even bake something.
ReplyDeleteI want one!
ReplyDeleteHow lucky you are to have such a great G-ma ~ What a sweet gift it is truly ~
ReplyDeleteKathe, you have a lovely way of incorporating loved ones and memories into your poetry.
ReplyDeletewhat a treat...and the gift that keeps on giving as well with each batch...my boys love to cook...and i am oft made to be the taste tester for contests they concoct...ha
ReplyDeleteMy mouth is watering. Lovely memory of your G-Ma.
ReplyDeleteGrandmas are pretty special. :)
ReplyDeleteThese look delicious :-)
ReplyDeleteBaking and Grandma's go together, a gift of love.
ReplyDeleteYou've captured my grandmother, too! In fact, i still have the cookie cutters she used to teach me about sugar cookies and icing.
ReplyDeleteCarrying the 'family tradition' on young shoulders so now everyone can have a piece. Cookies can be eaten at one's own sweet time and leisure, that's the beauty of it. Wonderful read Kathe!

a lovely testimony to your grandmother. My grandmother was a baker as well.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great gift you have received! What time should we be over for dessert?
ReplyDeleteI'm the baker too. It's a gift from my mom who is thankfully still with us. So happy for you that you received that gift. Are those molasses crinkles? I love them! :-)
ReplyDeleteMy Grandmother was a fabulous cook as well and as I lived with her, I learned to be a good cook as well. I love to bake. I wish I knew more people just so I could bake and give it away.
