Sharing - old cake decorating books

[dmcgee5034]

My Auntie sent me these. They were my Grandmothers. I never met her, she died when my Aunt and Dad (twins) were 12. Super neat to have something that belonged to her. Thought some of you might enjoy seeing them.

I'm so glad you shared that. My grandmother was a champion cake decorator and so very innovative in her creations, and meticulous in her records. It takes me back and I can smell her kitchen... mmmmmmm.

That's pretty cool! Also, I remember the Maid of Scandinavia store!

I sort of miss baking and decorating cakes. I taught for many years at the area schools here in the San Antonio area. Life moves on and we change directions. My daughter who is almost 36 owns her own bakery & Ice cream store. I would let her stand on a chair and give her an icing bag and let her decorate plates, cakes, etc., while making orders. Now she is a talented gal. I passed on the love of confectionery art to her. It's funny, she wanted me to start making cake candles which I did. However, once I started looking into soap making, I was fascinated and now completely enthralled. I love to see everyone's creativity on this forum.
