I was born in December and My mom always made sure that I had a home baked cake. She made beautiful, delicious cakes. We got to pick what kind of cake we wanted each year. This was before cake mixes were around...and yes, I’m old!
My Mom passed away before I was two, but as soon as I was old enough, I made everyone in my family a homemade birthday cake. Favorites were German Chocolate, Italian Creme, and Peanut Butter. I still make homemade cakes because the mixes just don’t taste the same.
