In the 18th century, baking in America was a labor of love. Ingredients were simple and seasonal. Flour, butter, eggs, molasses, and fresh fruits were staples in early American kitchens.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Recipes were passed down by hand, and desserts like fruit pies<\/a>, simple cakes<\/a>, and sweet breads<\/a> were baked in cast-iron<\/a> ovens and hearths. These humble beginnings laid the foundation for a rich baking tradition that would grow alongside the nation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
