So, now I want those black and whites for breakfast! Well, you only live 7 miles away so I’ll expect them soon!!! But……remember the rectangular loaf (iced) milk chocolate malt cake East Paterson Bakery made?! Lord!! Every Sunday for dinner dessert (actually lunch because we ate pretty early).Needed two of ‘em to get through one meal until they were gone. The bakery Grace’s mom worked in, too, in New York was fabulous. I remember the delicious treats she brought to our Pennsylvania vacation house. If only we could find ONE incredible ‘real’ Northeast bakery in Arizona….I mean cakes, pies, rolls and bread all in one store baked fresh right on premises not sent in by a commercial bakery wrapped in cellophane! Kahout’s bakery in Garfield for jelly and cream donuts and jelly crumb cake and the ‘shoebox’ Polish bakery in Clifton that made the BEST dense marble pound cake sold by the pound (dad’s all-time favorite). Ahhhh, yes, we can dream or, like you, make it yourself which is always better. I remember most of your softball stories but the “sprinkles in the bed” is a new one on me. How mean and hysterically funny at the same time. Love this story and each and every one you write. Having you close by now is like having my own Northeast bakery right around the corner.💕💕💕
