Engagement Cake
July 29, 2006 by Tarrant Figlio
Pretty for a valentine, an engagement, or a shower, with tinted coconut and candies.
Nothing says “Thanks for that big engagement ring.” like a cake with pink coconut. From the retro Learn to Bake: You’ll Love It cookbooklet, 1947.

It is all about control and this nice vintage 1947 General Mills cookbook says many stoves have oven heat controls! Woohoo! I am getting me one of those new-fangled gadgets soon!

Happy Birthday
July 28, 2006 by Tarrant Figlio
No cupcake toppers but here are some retro birthday favorites. I love the caption!
Caption on facing page reads: Here’s to many happy birthdays! The daisy cake for Mother has orange-tint frosting and pecan strips for flowers. For double glamour, there’s a tier cake, silhouetted in chocolate. Sister likes angel food frosted pink; the little folks take cupcakes and a candle apiece. It’s straight chocolate for Bobby with a ring circus of iced animal crackers–then a spicy favorite for Dad. You can make them all easily with letters or messages on top, once you have read this chapter. So plan happy birthdays for all your house–and have many.
