Kentuckians from frontiersmen to modern-day pastry chefs have put their marks on the state's baking history. Residents of the commonwealth have plenty of rich recipes and time-honored traditions, like pulling parties, where folks would gather to make taffy. Stack cakes originated from Appalachian weddings, where guests would each offer a layer of cake to the bride and groom, who then added the jam to hold the creation together. The decadent Modjeska confection gets its name from a Victorian-era candy maker's crush on a popular Polish actress. Join author Sarah Baird on a whirlwind trip--complete with recipes--that examines the delectable history of unique Kentucky treats from pawpaws to chocolate gravy..

Francis Baird (1730/1735-1799/1800) was most probably of Scottish lineage born in Ireland. He immigrated about 1755 to New York City, and married Esther Eagles in 1758. By 1766 they moved to Warwick, Orange County, New York. Descendants and relatives lived in New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, California and elsewhere.
