I just ordered the book. I am excited because I just found out that my anecdote is included. I remember submitting about three years ago even though the deadline had passed.

Cannot wait for the cookbook!

I thought that I was the only person in the world who would die to get a home made tea cake. I still today at the tender age of 42 beg my 84 year old mother to bake me some tea cakes. She has so many ways to make them. I have seen her make them with syrup and honey, etc. I have yet to find someone who makes tea cakes like my mom. The people in the community used to offer to pay her to make them dozens of tea cakes, but she would do it for free. My mom also makes the world’s best banana pudding. That might be a good idea for your next cook book project, collecting the african-american version of the banana pudding recipe.

I have been anticipating a book like this for years. I am excited about the publication. I am ordering mine today and one for other friends as a gift to them for certain occasions.

I’ve been waiting for a book like this to come around!!

I love baking and Tea-Cakes is one that I try to made from my Grandmothers rememberence, but I do not come close. My mother who is 88 says, “Well, it’s sugar, butter, vanilla, eggs.etc.”..the basic sugar cookie indgeterients, so far. But, there is something missing. It could be lemon and vanilla mixed together??? I’, still trying to come up with something similar. You know, it could be when you’re young everything taste good…but that cannot be, because how can so many people never forget those “Tea-Cakes” of yesterdays. I can’t wait to purchase your cookbook. Thanks for keeping us Tea-cake lovers searching for an old family treat from long ago.

Thanks for introducing Aunt Maggie’s teacakes to everyone. Teacakes are really the best! As a child, I remember going to the country to visit my Grandparents, Mamma Maggie and Papa Earl. Those were some of the best memories of my life as a child. We could not wait until the teacakes were ready, and when they were we would take them off the plates when the adults backs were turned as if they didn”t know what we were doing. There is nothing better than sitting on a country porch on a summer night churning ice cream, children playing and listening to stories. Thanks for reminding me of these great days and nights.
