"Other Fine Walter Baker Products:
Baker's Breakfast Cocoa
Baker's Dot Chocolate
Baker's German's Sweet Chocolate
Baker's Caracas Sweet Chocolate
Baker's Milk Chocolate Bar-- Plain and with Almonds
Jumbo Milk Chocolate Bars With Vitamins-- Plain and with Almonds

And by the time I was born, the only "chocolate with vitamins" left were those bar-shaped laxatives and those damn "diet candies." :/

I swear, it looks like they're serving "French Chocolate" with a side of French Fries for dipping. That can't be happening, can it? o_0

"A vast amound of knowledge and skill lies behind the making of this marvelous chocolate. Behind the fine old formula, always so rigidly adhered to. Behind the expert selection, perfect curing and roasting, and the exact blending of choice *cacao* beans, and behind the careful extraction of that delicious ruddy-brown liquid which comes from hot, rolling crushers, satin-smooth, rich with cocoa butter..."

[sigh] Y'know... I think I'm just gonna' to walk to the pharmacy and buy a Whitman's Sampler™. I can't work under this kind of pressure. :o

"There is ample proof that American housewives have known the lure and charm of Baker's Chocolate for generations. I have a worn little diary which belonged to my husband's great-great-grandmother. On one page she has written, '27 March 1798. Prepared sweet pastries this day, using the precious Baker's Chocolate purchased for me in Boston town. Rufus and Abigail gave generous expression to their pleasure...'"

Yeah, thanks, Mrs. Ken Burns. Glad your day went well. :P

"Little cakes and cookies are for those individual moments, when guests drop in on us. And what a charming variety of guests we do have on these occasions! Small, grimy persons trudging home to us from school, friends coming in for tea, a group of young things foraging in the kitchen. And those crisp, crunchy chocolate cookies or those plump, little chocolate cakes just fill the bill. And isn't it a relief to know in the back of your busy mind that there is a generous supply of them on hand and that many, many more can be made with the least possible effort?"

I wouldn't call my own kids "small, grimy persons," but that's just me.

19 ingredients in the fruitcake recipe (not shown). But none of them are booze. The angels play a mournful lament before hopping into that hole. Hoping to emerge in another dimension where they let a working stiff have some real holiday cheer at Xmas, if you get my drift.

From the 5-page essay up front:

"My share in the preparation of this master book of Baker's Famous Chocolate Recipes has been an interesting and delightful task. For through all of my years of varied experience in cookery-- as a student, as a teacher, and as a busy mother-- working with chocolate has pleased me most. And of course it is Baker's Chocolate that I have always used. For there is something so irresistible about each richly gleaming bar of pure, fragrant Baker's chocolate, that the very sight of it tempts me to put on my apron and make something new and delicious!"

All those marchers and dancers in The Nutcracker Suite were amateurs, I tell you! Amateurs!!

Gaze at the left side of the image long enough, and the desserts appear to be floating an inch or so above the tabletop. I'd give anything to know if the photographer did that on purpose.

Going counter-clockwise from the left: From the May 1936 issue of American Home magazine. From the October 1945 issue of House & Garden. From the November 1960 issue of House Beautiful (enlarged to show detail). Finally, from the July 1962 issue of Everywoman's/Family Circle.

That first one was originally posted to Flickr on June 11th, 2011. Since then, I've actually acquired some of those pie plates for myself, but I still haven't tried the double-up piecrust trick. I use 'em mostly for roasting vegetables.
