Weak in the Knees Wednesday

I didn’t do a #WeakintheKneesWednesday this past week due to an event I was catering for my auntie. Baked goods were everywhere in my kitchen and dining room. I was a baking somebody. I learned so much and became so full after this past weekend. I was back home, in the country only moments away from where my grandmother used to live. It was also celebration time since it was my daddy’s and auntie’s birthday. 

My auntie held an event through her organization “Sarah’s Daughters”. The name of the event was named “Woman to Woman: The Legacy”. It was to talk about the legacy of Taylor and Bessie Longino. Two of my other aunts were speakers and my God was it a treat! One thing that my aunt B. said was, “Stand up and recognize who you are!” That has stuck with me ever since she’s said it.

As I stated earlier, I catered a dessert bar for the event. I made all kinds of treats, such as banana pudding cupcakes, chocolate chip cookies, strawberry cake, etc. I included birthday cakes for my daddy and auntie. Over the next few weeks I will share what I’ve baked with pictures in tow. 

I returned back home this morning and I was tired. I went to sleep as soon as I came home. My husband turned off my cell phone and unpacked our things then told me to go lay down. I did without hesitation. Sleeping was my place of duty for hours lol. 

The first thing I want to share is the shirt I made for the event and was a great hit. On the front it has Short~n~Sweet Chef Keisha and on the back is “In the Kitchen with Bessie’s Granddaughter” with her picture under it. My family loves it and wants one. I even had the graphic put on my apron. This was the beginning of an exciting weekend!
