I absolutely love old recipe/entertaining booklets (or pamphlets) like these. The bold colors, art, layout; all fabulous.<br /><br />You'd love a booklet my mother had of various cake designs made from simple round or square cakes. Cut them up into the shape of a sailboat, giraffe, teddy bear, butterfly. Decorate with colorful frostings, licorice whips, candy buttons, toasted coconut. They were so clever and looked fantastic. <br /><br />If I can find it (mom might have given it to me years ago), will let you know. Maybe you'd be interested in scanning and posting it for your blog? Provided you return it to me of course (I've already read your "warning" in the paragraph, lol).Cindy Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09286673476012740181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2136311233296776036.post-9093636634176922232010-06-07T00:32:27.280-05:002010-06-07T00:32:27.280-05:00i maded you a comment, but i guess the interweb at...i maded you a comment, but i guess the interweb ated it- anyway, looking forward to whatever you come up with here!Prof. Grewbeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16132543249418576650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2136311233296776036.post-80387993922668973552010-06-06T17:59:03.071-05:002010-06-06T17:59:03.071-05:00>AEET (am I the first to say that?)

I'm still reading, but this pamphlet seems to be filled with much better ideas than our usually aspic-filled native fare circa the fifties through seventies (based on cursory research of those old-fangled Rolodex cards my grandmother used to get in the mail).<br /><br />I'm looking forward to the next thing.Mr. Cavinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01634994342702518448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2136311233296776036.post-86812501016490456702010-06-05T22:50:22.458-05:002010-06-05T22:50:22.458-05:00You just can't go wrong mixing hand-colored ph...You just can't go wrong mixing hand-colored photography with cartoony illustrations in cookbooks or advertising.
