I miss other things about being a kid, like the ability to just make friends with someone from being in their proximity. And family just giving me money, I didn't need it back thenI miss being a kid. Mom would always have a big tin of buttermilk rusks in the house & then usually an assortment of other baked biscuits in smaller round tins. Aaah...to dunk things in hot drinks.
Her piping skills are on point!My wife loves baking. As we have a celiac kid that helps as she enjoys finding new gluten free recipe's and converting stuff to be so. Anyways she occasionally updates her website with some of what she makes:

I bake for friends and family. These days, mostly sourdough, but I was given this book, many years ago, which is an inspiration and a great guide for beginners.You have your own bakery or do you make to order? How did you get started?

Who hurt youI haven't baked or eaten any cakes in months now, there's a double layered Chocolate Cake with choc icing in the fridge right now that I have no desire to eat.
Now what I think about it the only baked thing I had within the last couple months was Mealie Cake (pudding) I guess because it's not made with flour I allowed myself to have that on several occasions
