I love that you are using the real recipes so the handwriting is recorded. I had never thought about my Grandmother being before cake mixes, but of course! How cool that you are putting this together. Wonderful job!
I am not getting most of my email alerts when my fav artists post Ann! That's why I'm late gatting here! Anyway...... I love your design here!! The little banner & cute birdcage are too cute!!! I always loved eating the cake batter!!!
Sounds like a wonderful recipe. I might just give it a try. Love the banner across the bottom. I keep saying I'm going to make a recipe book, but never do get around to it!
I agree with Betsey. I love the old recipes that are passed down over the years. I should do some recipe books for my granddaughters. Great page Ann and the recipe sounds yummy!
There is still nothing like the old cake recipes passed down through the years.....and what a cute page for this....! I did a recipe book like this for one of my dgd's.......! Great idea!!!!!
One of the dessert pages for the recipe album of my mother's recipes. This recipe could also be baked in layers for frosting or in a tube pan as a "pound cake". The temperature settings are on the back of the layout...layers @ 350 degrees and tube pan @ 275 degrees. Doneness was checked with a toothpick in the center.
The pennants were made by putting the strips of paper in the corner of a square punch. The baker's twine is Charcoal from The Twinery.
Journaling: My grandmother, "Mamma Ellen", made this cake before Duncan Hines cake mixes existed.
Note: Several have asked if "sweet milk" is the same as condensed milk. "Sweet milk" was a term used by my family and others in the South for whole milk. The term was used to distinguish whole milk from buttermilk which many people also drank as well as used for cooking.
