DELHI, NY — The Lost Bookshop and Wil Petre present Grannycakes, an intergenerational bake-off, at 4 p.m. on Sunday, October 4. 

Delco neighbors of different generations are paired together, bake a favorite recipe, then share it with the community. Participants self-identified as either a “granny” or a “youngin’” and will 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,” said Helck.

At the bake-off on October 4, held at Good Cheap Foods, 53 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.
