I am a wife and mother who loves to cook for her family. My children love to eat homebaked goods, they are my biggest fans and my biggest cridits. They would rather have a batch of homemade pumpken muffens than a debbie cake. OH it would be hard to chose anything new is great. I love making wedding cakes, and birthday cakes I guess because its for a special occasion. I like baking for the holidays as well, even though it is expected i enjoy it very much. The only family traditions I can think of are, to use what you have in the kithcen, use what you have on hand. A homemade cake thats moist, has a good crumb yet still light, with great flavor. Microwave popcorn, I have ruined 3 microwaves and filled our home with yellow smoke 3 times from that silly stuff.
