Nothing in the OP implied he was "belittling" her to me. It just sounds
like he liked them and she doesn't bake much. Or maybe she didn't like
them at all and doesn't want to announce it publicly. Then again, maybe
he's just being polite recalling the one dish he recalls and says it to
flatter Kalmia? Who knows.
I don't see this as an etiquette dilemma really. Make a batch or make
something else but I'd do it in advance and not expect to do it there as
that may be a bit presumptuous. I'm sure he'll appreciate anything he's
given.
