Local baker, Sydney Adams’ inspiration and love for baking derives from her grandmother and the recipes nestled inside of a cookbook, which carries recipes dating back to the 1940s. Seeing the joy that her grandmother received from baking is something she shares, too.
“Baking is my passion, more specifically, pie,” said Adams. “Pie has always been my family’s favorite dessert and my grandma was the pie baker. My grandma has always been known for her pies, winning many contests in her home state of Illinois.”
