c1890s Cakes and How to Make Them
What Our Customers Say...
Description
Illustrated, Signed, Uncommon
The second, revised edition this work contains over three hundred cake recipes with numerous in-text illustrations and diagrams to help the baker. These cake and bread recipes first made their appearance in the pages of the The British Baker, a leading journal in the trade focussing on baking techniques and baking news. Comprised of twelve chapters, this recipe book includes chapters on preparation, Genoa cakes, celebration cakes, and piping. With six pages of advertisements in total. Adverts to pastedown and endpaper at both the front and the rear. As well as advertisements for other works published by MacLaren and Sons, there are also adverts for bread and baking equipment. Undated. The National Library of Scotland have estimated that the second edition was published within the 1890s. However, the advertisements suggest the present work may have been published around 1903. This uncommon baking book contains over 300 recipes.
Condition
In publisher's original cloth binding. Externally, rather smart. A little rubbed to the boards and the spine, causing some fading of text at the spine. Lightly bumped to the head and tail of the spine. Internally, firmly bound. Pages generally bright and clean throughout. Evidence that the odd page corner has been folded.
Very Good
