A Practical Reference Work For Bakers - Baking Formulas & Cake Decorating (Illustrated)

New York: Max Spoth. Good. 1937. First Edition. Plastic Comb. "A compilation of formulas for cakes, cookies, yeast goods, pies, icings and fillings of all kinds, together with a number of modern cake designs which are easy to duplicate. Formulas for wholesale production are included. The theoretical basis of cake designing is discussed and photographs of decorated cakes are shown. An analysis of the basic ingredients used in the shop provides understanding of the theory behind many shop practices. This will often lead to the detection of trouble and variations in cake production and will also give the baker a practical key for a wider use of many ingredients. It has been my dominating thought to give the baker a reference book that is practical in every way." - Foreword. 150, [48] pages, including 93 glossy black and white photos of finished products. Sections indicated by handy thumb tabs. Minimal light pencil markings otherwise unmarked with average wear. Small bookseller's tag inside front cover. Binding intact. A sound vintage example of this informative and nostalgic Depression-era text. 12" x 9.5"; 4to .
