Retro Baking: 100 Classic Contest Winners Updated for Today
Forget your boxed cake mix and canned frosting. This is baking the way your grandma and her friends did it. The baking that won blue ribbon
prizes and church pie contests. Retro Baking is your guide
to better baking, the retro way.
Baking is as American as apple pie, from country fair contests to city block parties; homemade baked goods are the highlight of any menu. Summer
days linger longer with strawberry shortcake, and special occasions are made even more special with a plate full of chewy cookies. One hundred
of America's favorite baked goods are presented in their nostalgic glory, with vintage illustrations to match, in this latest Retro Series
book.
Everything from cupcakes to dinner rolls have been selected for their universal deliciousness and award-winning appeal. Inspired by company-sponsored
contests and small town competitions, these scrumptious recipes are tested, tasted, and time-honored. Your next attempt at 3-layer frosted greatness
is sure to turn out perfectly with the help of decades of baking experience. Show your oven some lovin’ and bring back those milk-and-cookie memories
with surefire recipes including savory main dishes, breads, rolls, pies, cakes, and more.
