I mentioned before, I learned a life lesson at my daughter's wedding, well a few really. The one to which I was referring involves the wedding cake. I made this little wallhanging of her wedding cake for guests to sign. We decided in lieu of a book we would have the quilt since that is what I do. I do not consider myself a "quilter" because I have seen some of the most magnificent quilts and I am not capable of reaching those heights. However I do enjoy the process of making quilts for family and friends, therefore when asked I say, "Yes, I quilt."
My sister on the other hand decorated the beautiful cake for the wedding. As you can see it was striking. the groom's cake was also made by my sister because she is a cake decorator. Her husband is the baker. Together they create the most delicious cakes, do-nuts, pastries and pies you can imagine. When there is an occasion in the family of course the cake will come from Banky's.
Now here is the lesson...my brother in law the baker is also a biker, he looks more like the biker than the baker so I NEVER thought he wanted a quilt of his own. He asked me..'how many cakes before I get a quilt?' My goodness I was shocked....His cakes are the best cakes ever, ask anyone who has had one and then my beautiful talented sister puts the icing on the cake, like no other can. I was humbled and needless to say I am now enjoying the process of deciding what his quilt will be. Touched by the fact that Banky the biking baker would like to have a quilt made me very happy indeed.
As a reminder to all in within a reasonable distance of Memphis TN... the very best bakery is located in Millington on highway 51. Banky's is the best.
