What’s in a cake; some flour, butter, eggs, sugar and various other ingredients depending on preference? Anyone can make a cake if they are taught well and can follow directions but what makes a cake special? In 1970 my grandmother, the late Annie Mae Moore started baking for her friends and family in Brooklyn, NY. Though she never formally started a store front business, her cakes sold by word of mouth and her customers included many people from the neighborhood. Nothing pleased her more than to see the smile on a customer’s face when they arrived to pick up their cake. It was comfort food at best and the connection was made. My grandmother realized that a cake, if made with patience, love and homemade ingredients, had the power to make people happy.

As a teenager I was prone to getting into mischief but on one particular day, my grandmother decided it was time that I redirect all that mischievous energy into something positive. In all my years I had never seen my grandmother use measuring cups because she eye balled all her ingredients. On this day she took out her glass measuring cups and showed me step by step how to make a cake. Stopping along the way to share precious tips she learned to make a cake unique. During the holiday season, when orders would be in abundance I would assist her with completing them and learned I enjoyed baking.


On October 19, 2004 my grandmother lost her battle with breast cancer, during breast cancer awareness month and three days before my birthday. Rather than continue my career as a veterinary nurse, I decided that what my grandmother started and taught me was far too valuable to let it go astray. What my grandmother instilled in me as a teenager is priceless; the ability to bake with patience, love and culinary knowledge that she learned on her own.
