Indianapolis, Indiana – Bakers all around central Indiana are getting ready to make the delicious sweets that round out Mother’s Day and are counting down the days until the holiday. Mother’s Day is in eight days.
Marsha Quarles and Michelle Avant, both of whom work at Marsha’s Specialty Desserts in Avon, are two of those hard-working bakers. On Saturday, the sisters brought some of the works that they had created to Daybreak to show off.
“We have brownies baked in their own little individual tin. Then, we have turtle cakesicles — it’s chocolate, caramel, hot fudge, and pecans. Those are really good. And then, of course, cupcakes! You always have to have cupcakes,” Quarles said.
Treats like cupcakes, cakesicles, and glittery, chocolate-dipped strawberries are fun gifts for any occasion, but Quarles says they’re extra important on days like Mother’s Day.
“Our mother is amazing, and our aunt…they have been an incredible blessing in our life. Everything that we do, they guide us, they lead us. Moms are important. They’re really important. They are the backbone of the family.”
