A Day In The Life

I was an avid baker back in the day. I found the act of baking to be a very satisfying one; rolling out dough, forming cookies, putting together ingredients to create something that not only looked beautiful but tasted delicious. Lace cookies, rugelach, sugar cookies in every imaginable shape. Coffee cake, apple cake, checkerboard cake, oreo cookie cake. I was always trying a new recipe and sharing with co workers or bringing to family gatherings.

I was diagnosed with gluten intolerance in my 40’s, and my joy of baking diminished. Life changes, we find other means of creative outlet. Below are mini Amaretto cakes I made for dessert for a large dinner party I hosted. One of my favorite recipes, usually made in a bundt pan, I found mini pans so everyone would get their own cake rather than a slice. I can still taste how delicious they were these many years later.
