My house is full of bakery equipment from back in the day

Big stainless milk cans, big copper bowls about one foot deep by two feet in diameter with big handles, I don’t know if for mixing or cooking as they’ve been polished

Every conceivable size of cast iron pans up to two foot wide, one of those mixers and it’s paddles and bowl about six feet tall, lots of the utensils they used including two aluminum rolling pins around three feet long

Etc, there’s more put away…..

I don’t donuts very often these days except the ones I mentioned maybe 2-3 a month

They stay as a special treat that way

What the bakery did was give me a phobia for white cake with white icing, it’s like fingernails on a blackboard to me, I must have eaten way too much as a youngun

😁
