Blog Dedication

This blog is dedicated to the memory of our mother and grandmother Gertrud Beck (1928-1997).  Karl and Gertrud immigrated to the US from Germany in 1954 and lived in Indiana for most of their lives.  Gertrud was a talented cook, baker, and gardener.  She especially had a magic touch with cakes and pastries.  In this blog we intend to share recipes of foods that Gertrud made.  We hope people will enjoy the seeing the recipes and maybe try them out at home.  Guten Appetit!
