Love is sweet: 98-year-old man takes up baking after wife dies
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}For 98-year-old Leo Kellner of Nebraska, baking is more than just a pastime or personal hobby.
It’s something he began doing when he lost his wife after 72 years of marriage.
"After I lost my wife, I didn't know what to do. So I said, ‘well, I can bake.’ So I started baking," Kellner told Nebraska.TV.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The first year he started baking, he made more than 100 apple pies. The following year, he added cakes to the menu.
You might think he has built a lucrative business, but you’d be wrong.

"Everything I do, I do it with love,” Kellner told Nebraska.TV. “That's my secret ingredient is love."
