My aunt was a wonderful cook and baker. I always told her she should open her own restaurant or bakery, she was that good. But she would always say she just preferred baking for family and friends and that she didn’t want the headache of dealing with her own business. Her cakes and pastries were always a big hit and I was so happy whenever she would ask me over to help her in the kitchen. Some of my favorite childhood memories were made in her kitchen. I would get to do the mixing and of course lick the bowls when we were through. This Paula Deen Signature Enamel on Steel Mixing Bowl Set reminds me so much of my aunt’s bowls.

The minute I saw these steel mixing bowls I had to have them. The colorful speckled finish adds so much charm to my kitchen – I chose the blue bowls since blue is my favorite kitchen color and they’re almost the same color that my aunt had. I even bought the same set for my sister because I knew they would bring back wonderful memories for her too. I plan on surprising her with the gift this Mother’s Day – I can’t wait to see her reaction.
