This week, at our house, is the countdown to Ben's graduation and life is buzzing!! I'm running around in a flurry of cap, gown, tassel, blue and white napkins, blue and white balloons, batteries for the camera....you get the idea! Today is the day that I order his cake.... and accomplish the rest of the items on the "Today List".....tomorrow will have its own list! I'm making my case for why this posting is going to be brief, but hope you enjoy this very old recipe from a Clabber Girl Baking Powder pamphlet entitled, "Clabber Girl Baking Book" that I bought at an estate auction.
Fun Fact: Did you know that Hulman and Company, the makers of Clabber Girl Baking Powder, was founded in Terre Haute, Indiana in 1848? When my pamphlet was printed, the ad inside says that it was, "10 cents for a 10 ounce can at all grocers". The ad slogan at that time was, "All's Well That Ends Well". I'm hoping that applies to high school graduations, too! ~Marcia

ReplyDeleteLooks great! BTW, I pass the Clabber Girl factory quite frequently. They have a little museum now.
