WHAT BAKING CAN DO

Make it work;

make it eas y.

Make it clev er; craft it in to piec es.

Make it sweet; crimp the edg es.

Or make it sour and serve with wedg es.

E ven doubt can li cious, and it wash es off of all the dirt y dish es.

When it’s (Cb)done, I can smile; it’s on some one else ’s plate for a while.

I’ll

place it on dis play;

and then I’ll slice and

serve my (Db)wor ries a way.

(F)I can fix this; I

I (G)you.

Ma ma, it’s a (Bb)maz ing what bak ing can (Gb)do.

Make it (Gb)up,

Tell them all my se crets, but dis guise them, so they dance on the tongues

of the ver y peo ple that they’re se crets from.

So with flour (Gb)on my hands,

I’ll show them all how
