Baking with the girls
Crack goes an egg
Measuring out the flour
Pouring in the sugar
Can’t forget the vanilla
Blending and stirring
Mixing it just right
Drizzling the sugary cinnamon glaze
Into the oven it goes
One beater for each
The reward for their help
Peering through the window
Watching it rise
“How do you think it will taste?”
“Will it be as good as Mommy’s?”
…
“No.”
