The crust top was carmelized to perfection, spingy but firm to the tooth. A pound cake uses a pound of butter but never should taste like it all heavy and greasy…

My local Walmart has a bakery...I don’t believe a young person has the patience to whip the batter to perfection pulling in air to make the froth before baking. And a laid off person in between jobs has better worries to focus on…but this family owned bakery this morning had one job this morning to bake to perfection…and of course, then chat about it with appreciative customers like me!!! please note like the old fashioned bakeries of the depression, food is half price after 5PM...

I roasted my coffee beans, I set out my local made jam from the farm market, set my table on my back porch, ok I was a little too lazy to use the good china but I lived like a human being this morning…ahhh to dream and wish everyone could do the same...

You are making me hungry.
