HOUSTON For many families, spending time together in the kitchen is one of their most cherished dad and daughter activities. But for 10-year-old Makai Walker, baking with dad has turned into something more serious than just bonding time. When I was 2, I started baking my birthday cake with my mom and dad. When she was 6, she started baking completely solo because she actually memorized the recipes. And she had the whole thing memorized, said her dad, Roderick Walker, whos also part of the business.
