Vintage Betty Crocker and holiday baking traditions!


Are you ready for some holiday baking? My family's annual Fudge Fest is this weekend. We travel to my parents' house to make my Grandmother's homemade fudge recipe - with numerous modifications. Last year a journalist and photographer covered the Marks Family Fudge Fest! The newspaper was doing a series on holiday baking traditions.

Note the Betty Crocker apron at Fudge Fest!

Recently I talked to two account executives from two different food companies. Both of them expressed great interest in getting customers back to the good old days of baking. 

After years and years of listening to people's stories about Betty Crocker/baking with mom/vintage cookbooks/etc,  I can say with great confidence that I know what's important to people in this nostalgia baking realm and I could get people baking again. However, I don't just give my ideas away, so if a company wants me to consult, they need to hire me. 

There's something so special about holiday baking especially the way it honors those we've lost and still love very deeply! 

Happy Holiday Baking!

Baking this weekend?

Good morning! What are you baking this weekend? I'm thinking red velvet cake. It's been about a year since my last one. I think I will make a butter cream frosting instead of cream cheese. I know of a bakery that uses beets instead of food coloring. I wonder if I should give it a go?

By the way, do you like the new look of this blog? I hope so! This is one of my favorite photos from my private Betty Crocker collection. A former "Crockette" gave it to me.

Have a great weekend! And I let you know how the cake turns out.
