She did. When my sister & I were 10-ish?, we were taught how to cook and bake. We took over the cookies, cakes, and some desserts & meal preparation, but never did do the bread making. That had been a Saturday a.m. thing for my mom for many, many years, but eventually she quit making it and bought sliced bread. Everyone at school had bought/sliced bread sandwiches, which my siblings & I coveted ... our huge homemade bread sandwiches were unattractive & weird. It was fabulous bread. I buy similar bread at the local bakery nowadays and it costs me plenty $$.
My father immigrated from Holland as a young man and, in the European custom (which I think is still current), there was much visiting in the evenings at our house. This always involved pots of coffee, tea, and plates of goodies. We were dairy farmers, so there were occasionally some daytime coffee & goodies as well.
I don't bake at all any more. My husband is a diabetic, so our "sweets" are pretty much only fresh & dried fruit.
