For me, the joy of watching my Mom bake a pie, a cake, or cornbread was the best things in life. The aroma of sweetness flowed throughout our house in Georgia. I am reminded of those days whenever I come across Magnolia Bakery.

Last week, I sauntered into Magnolia Bakery located in Rockefeller Center at 1240 6th Avenue, New York, NY 10020. I stood in line to buy a slice of German Chocolate Cake with Coconut Caramel Pecan Icing.

I enjoyed my cake while I trekked uptown, and at the same time, I spoke to my Mom on the telephone. She laughed. I smiled…just like we always do.

Happy Mother’s Day.
