Bring old family recipes to life

Recently, I’ve been approached by a couple of customers to re-create old family recipes. My first customer gave me the handwritten recipe for their family version of cowboy cookies. It was fun recreating the recipe and figuring out the extra notes through the chocolate stains on the card!

Another customer wanted to turn an old recipe for chocolate prune cake into more easily shared cupcakes. I’d never cooked a prune cake before, so it was fun seeing just how light and delicious it was. As a baker, I really enjoy the challenge of making my customers’ memories become delicious food today.
