Dad and Little Bobby have to hurry and get Mom and Little Susie back into the house. Any more time outside and the ladies would become tan and ruddy, too. Imagine the scandal!

"Frosting Frills For Special Occasion Cakes: ...The pastry bag may be made of a three-cornered piece of heavy paper folded into cornucopia shape and pinned in place, or, better still, of a piece of heavy muslin or light-weight canvas stitched in the desired shape. This can be washed after using and so kept clean..."

In the lower left hand corner of the "Caramel Layer Cake," you can just make out the illustrator's name: "Giro." I don't know anything about them. But these really are terrific pictures.

Some clippings from inside the booklet, slightly enlarged. I'm not sure what the "lightning" in "Lightning Layer Cake" was in reference to, since all of these cakes seem like pretty drawn-out productions. Usually the devoted cook sifted the flour 3-4 times, and presumably didn't own an electric mixer.

Inside front cover and first page from the booklet. Considering that the Depression was in full swing, this is a pretty lavish production. The cover is heavy cardstock and the papers inside are thick. Nice Art Deco stylings on the typeface and pictures, too.

I don't know what the punched hole was for. A string holding an extra coupon or a small trinket went there, maybe.

One side of an advertising fold-out published by the Fant Milling Company of Sherman, Texas. The cartoons may be by an artist named Chas Cartwright, who drew newspaper ads for the company in the 1940s (Thanks to notyourmind at YouTube).

I took a drink every time tonight that I typed the word "Centennial." And yeah, it's the happiest I've been so far this year. :p
