Inside back covers from 1965 (l) and from 1970 (r). In the first image, the hypnotic spiral surface of the dessert yet appears earthbound, but in the second, its extraterrestrial origin is revealed at last!

Truly, the saddest looking "Petis Fours" I've ever seen. But nothing in the whole volume pleads more desperately for love than the "Four Flavor Loaf." :P

Is anyone else feeling dizzy from all the heat & flashing lights? o_0

Sadly, the triumph of body-shaming, diet-obsessed culture is complete in the new century. You are no longer allowed to eat any of these flavors, though you are allowed to glob them onto your face and legs before you shave. :/

Inside front covers from 1965 (l) and from 1970 (r). It was the trippy electric purple-pink foil effect which was supposed to let everyone know that they weren't having dessert in Kansas anymore...

Also, I think they forgot to make it taste good. :P But still... those colors! Those shapes! That "cupcake frosting" which looks like some kind of milk-fed Tribble and the citrus-y spaceship that clearly brought them down to Earth! It makes you proud, doesn't it? Double Strawberry, Lemon Ripple, Chocolate Swirl Pie (front). Triple Citrus Creamy Whip, Ribbon Loaf, Easy Frosting on cupcakes (back).

You've got Vanilla Berry, Raspberry Supreme, Lemon Twist, Snow-Capped Chocolate Pie, Heavenly Mocha Cream (front). Then Mocha Dream, Triple Citrus Creamy Whip, Citrus Duet & Berry Duet, Chocolate Swirl Pie, and Strawberry & Raspberry Supreme (back). What you don't have is a product which survived as long as its forbears: Jell-O and Dream Whip. I guess people figured out that they already could do what this stuff did.

In the instructions for Banana Frosting (which sounds like it might be pretty good), they specify using a "silver fork" to mash the fruit with. I'm not sure why. Maybe it was like serving caviar, and the wrong utensil substance would destroy their delicate bouquet or something.

Flavors as listed on the back include not just Cherry, Strawberry, Raspberry, Loganberry, Orange, Lemon, and Lime , but also: Scarlet Desire, Golden Desire, Waldorf Desire, Fruitful Desire, and... Festive Desire. I'm just gonna' leave you with that. Oh, and it's the centerfold from the March/April Chefs' and Stewards' Food and Equipment Manual.
