DELHI - The Lost Bookshop and Wil Petre present Grannycakes, an intergenerational bake-off. Delco neighbors of different generations will be paired together, bake a favorite recipe, then share it with the community. Participants can sign up in advance to be a baker, and spectators can enjoy sweet treats at the bake-off on Sunday, Oct. 4.
Participants will self-identify as either a “granny” or a “youngin’” and be paired with someone of a different generation to bake with. “You don’t need to be a literal grandparent to identify as a granny--it’s a vibe! A Grannycakes granny is someone with a desire to teach, and a youngin’ is someone looking to learn,” said Emily Helck, owner of The Lost Bookshop. To that end, the granny in a pair might be 25, and the youngin’ might be 60. “It’s all about how you feel,” says Helck.
At the bake-off on Oct. 4, held at Good Cheap Foods on Main St. in Delhi, attendees will get to sample the creations, and choose their favorite. Attendees are encouraged to bring a $5 donation for the food pantry.
