The Story Of Bonny Butter Cake
My very first attempt at baking, and amazingly that first attempt was from scratch, was this “Bonny Butter Cake”. The year was 1982. I wanted to do something special for my daughters so I decided to bake a cake. It actually turned out pretty good.
Just as a side note, it was a challenging time for me and my daughters, the details of which best be shared only between my daughters and I. Because it was a challenging time is the reason I was encouraged to bake a cake for them. During that time, only Renee’ and Kelly would know the significance of “your turn to be the baloney”.
