Today is normally a really hard day for me but today im gonna explain why it hits different now a days.
Today marks 13 years since my Grandma went to be with the lord.🙏🏼😔
For those of you who don't know, my bakery is named after my Grandma Bunny (my dad's mom). This women was my BEST FRIEND, no one could separate us and you wouldnt see her without me and vise versa. We did everything together from tanning in the sun listening to old school country music "Juking" as she called it and talking about her love for Elvis to Baking cakes and cookies in the kitchen. She was our family "Cake lady" she did everyone's birthday cakes. ESPECIALLY my dad's Christmas cake (Christmas eve birthday).
She taught me everything there was to know about baking and being the kitchen especially how to measure with your heart ❤️.
Every Christmas we would make a mess load of cookies and make cookie tins for friends and family and it was my Favorite time of year.
As the years went on she eventually went into a nursing home after developing dementia, i felt like my world was crashing down but it never stopped me from going to see her, she never forgot who I was (even though my oldest son was her BABY😂)
I was ok with second best at that point lol.
One day I got that call that no one wants to get. That women waited for me to show up before she took her last breath 😭
A couple of years went by and life felt empty. My son and i started a garden and would add different veggies and fruits every year. One year was Zucchini and boy did we NOT know what we were doing. We added to many plants and well, thats how my Lemon Zucchini breads started.
Thats when Bunny Breads Bakery all started. Everytime I was in the kitchen I would think about what it would be like with her by my side. To this day I still think of that. I look at what Bunny Breads Bakery has become and like I said earlier, I dont get that feeling or question that anymore because I know shes been right next to me the entire time.
There's not a day that goes by where I don't talk about her or brag to my customers where I got my skills from, it was all from her... that women was a legend and I will make sure it lives on.
So today on her 13th anniversary of being with our lord, I won't be sad, instead I wanted to share with you my story of her and I and how my bakery was born.
Below is photos of her and I, also some of her cakes that I keep in her old-school photo album.
Also the sky picture is right after she passed, I guess its her way of letting us know that she made it to god and that she is ok.
Thank you to all of my customers who have supported me in my journey, I don't know what I would have done without you guys and your support and your love.
Have a Blessed day y'all 🙏🏼 ❤️🫶🏼
