I left out numerous other pages, including the finale where either Sound or Sure is weeping over a collapsed cake. I hate to end sweet things on a sour note.

I've already done the joke about WWII baking booklets always needing to have an aerial view of the finished food in military formation-- to show those Axis powers what for. Or have I? Covid Brain is real, I'm afraid. :o (Originally posted to flickr on January 29th, 2011)

There's also recipes for Root Beer and Lemon Pop in the Dessert breads chapter. No, I don't know why, but it's still awesome that they were there. You could apparently get 20 quarts of root beer from 1/2 cake of yeast. Woo!

(L) This page appears only in some of my copies, for whatever reason. (R) "...But there are times when women like to run up a batch of rolls of their own, or try their hand at a coffee cake, just to see if they can still do it!"
