Mine didn't bake except on special occasions. I was an only, and she would rather play with me than do anything in the house! She was the youngest of ten. When she did bake, it was delicious. Especially her pound cake. She taught me how to make biscuits when I was about 10, and my college professor asked me how I made them! I changed my major the next quarter!

I really only remember my mom baking banana bread--she cooked for us but the kitchen wasn't where she wanted to be. My Gran, however, is an awesome cook and baker and always had something in the oven. My favorites are her cinnamon rolls, biscuits and cornbread. Oh, and the poundcake...everything is great!!

My mom NEVER baked. That is not exactly true if it snowed she would bake 1 batch of sugar cookies. Not everytime it snowed I mean big blizzard stay home form school snow. If we didn;t have a snow day that year we didn't have home baked cookies. Now I on the other hand bake all the time. I make bread all my hand no bread machine or even mixer at least twice a week. Then there is cookies, cakes and pies. Right now I am wait for cinnamon bugs and carnberry orange buns to come out of the oven. I bake and I bake a lot. Mom didn't sew or quilt either. Come to think of it my mom did NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!! I never wanted to be like her and thank God I am not. I am like the woman who is so near and dear to my heart. The woman who taught me to cook, bake and sew, I am who I am because of her. THANK YOU MA SCHECH!!!!!!!!!!

My Mother never baked anything in her life, as far as I know. From New Orleans and a fabulous cook.
She did take a 2+ hour subway roundtrip during Easter season to buy the Hot Cross buns my Father liked.

My Mom was & is the Queen of the kitchen. She always made everything from scratch and we always had baked desserts. She can still make the best pies in the world. She really loves to be in the kitchen and is in there everyday cooking up a storm for her & Dad. I did not inherit that passion for cooking or baking. I do it, but I had much rather be doing other things. And my pies are not fit to eat. Cakes, breads I can do.
