In honor of Father’s Day

“It never rains on a golf course”

— Dad

I genuinely grew up believing that. My dad was an avid golfer and Sunday dinners didn’t happen until Dad returned from golf, even on the days it rained. When I asked him how he could golf in the rain… his reply was always the same. “Honey, it never rains on a golf course”. As the years went by some of my best memories were playing golf with my Dad, and after he died, I realized I didn’t really like golf, I just love being with him while doing something he truly loved. He also loved a perfect Manhattan, so in honor of my Dad, the Cottage Baker presents a Kentucky Bourbon Butter Cake.

Remembering mom.

Pretty much every picture taken of my mom her eyes were closed.

Yep, I’m a lot like my mom, just ask my husband Danny. My mom died a little over 18 years ago, and still there is never a day that goes by that I don’t carry her with me. She would have loved my little cottage bakery and wanted “just a taste” of every thing I made. She loved coffee cake and would whip up a bisquick coffee cake on a moment’s notice - you know back in the day when company would just drop by randomly.

So in honor of her I created a Mother’s Day gift box with your choice of a sour cream coffee cake filled and topped with a brown sugar crumble or a lemon lavender coffee cake, dusted with confectionary sugar and just a hint of dried lavender. Each box comes with a little succulent, a tin of (SerendipiTea) lavender tea and 4 sweet plates and napkins.

It is my hope that this little box of joy will bring you joy in the sharing with your mom or memories of your mom.

I miss you mom.

Mother’s Day is May 12th.
