I recently inherited my mom’s mixer after she passed away, and it’s been sitting in my kitchen, waiting for the right moment. Yesterday, on her birthday, I decided to put it to good use and made my very first cake in her honor.
I went with an enhanced funfetti box mix (she loved funfetti!) and topped it with homemade buttercream. It’s not perfect—I’m still learning—but I think she would have loved it.
Baking with her mixer made me feel connected to her, and every step reminded me of how much love she put into her cooking.
