Story Time & Sunday Vibes: Truth be told, when I was growing up literally every Sunday there was a freshly baked cake or two to top off the table for Sunday dinner. Here along the Sea Coast Islands, my Aunties were actually busy the night before, prepping so that the meal would be ready to serve as soon as we got out of church the following day. Honestly, that’s how I got into baking while watching my favorite Saturday night shows. It’s as if something would draw me into the kitchen every time to help mix, pour, measure and even taste the batter which was rarely allowed but all so fun! So when I’m baking, it’s far more than a hobby. It’s familial and keeps me connected to my loving ancestors and an honor to be a bearer of such a deeply rooted cultural tradition.

POV: I Don’t Know Who Needs To Hear This But “Baby, eat the cake!” This could easily translate into other areas of life…like write the book, start the business, go back to school, take that solo trip! Comment “cake” if you’re on the brink of something as good as this KEY LIME pound cake. It’s a BANGER by the way! 🍋‍🟩

That time I was asked to make a wedding cake but had only baked pound cakes all my life…I told the client that while I knew I would have to use a different recipe, I guaranteed that the cake itself would be super moist and delicious. However, I was reluctant about the buttercream as that wasn’t my specialty. With a few tries, over the course of a a month, I was blessed to come up with someehing amazing for the couple’s rustic setting they chose for their nuptials. The message is two fold here…1) Don’t be afraid of trying new things and 2)Tru process…💛 💯

Preventing Your Cake From Sticking: Heeeey Baking Besties…Flipping pound cakes could be a bit difficult due to their density. However, following these simple tips will likely give the coveted picture perfect finish, practically every time. 1) Apply generous amounts of baking spray not to be confused with cooking spray my go to’s are Baker’s Joy & Pam‘s baking spray. The trick here is to get literally every nook and cranny afterwards. Be sure to drain off any excess oil, however. 2) You may also apply your own homemade goob too base your pan(s). Parchment paper may be used in addition to coating the pan. 3) Next, consider allowing your cake to cool off at least 10 to 15 minutes maybe even a tad bit longer if it’s larger in size. This allows the cake to release from its molding in one piece. Trust me, you don’t want to sleep on this step. 3) Last, I recommend slowly releasing the cake just in case there is some slight sticking if the cake is not budging at all, you may however, place it back into the oven fully covered for about 15 minutes, perhaps a tad bit longer to allow it to heat up again and re-release. Hope this helps and follow for more baking inspiration and tips! 🎂

Traditionally, the first night of gathering during our girls getaway is to catch up with one another and simply reconnect over the a good meal and a movie or two. Undoubtedly, the next day we seek out a local bakery and this one did not disappoint. try out Maxi B’s the next time you’re in town it’s located on Battleground. The vintage chic ambience, and incredible array of baked goods made for a wonderful experience. What’s more they ship and are open every day except Sundays. Visiting this venue truly inspired me to keep dreaming BIG!
