My Family Calls it World Famous.
My Dad was the First to Make It.
He went to baking school in Minneapolis and was preparing to start a career as a baker. Then world events said otherwise and he was called into the service.
After he came back home, he worked as a baker for a time, including at Bolin's Donuts in Logansport. He was really creative; he could make objects out of sugar icing, such as a swan and a church. We always got to eat these treats afterwards.
It was years later my sister found his handwritten recipe. We both set out to try making it. Over time I tweaked it a bit. A little less of this. A little more of that.
He's been gone for sometime. We keep him close. We bake and remember with love.
