PREFACE
In submitting this book it is my desire to place in the hands of the confectioner and ice-cream maker, rational formulas, every one of which has been used by me personally.
I have endeavored to set down each recipe in every detail.
The illustrations are from photographs taken by myself, and I believe will assist in demonstrating clearly certain points of manipulation.
Believing that the following will meet with your approval. I am,
Respectfully yours,
Wm. Murray Bell.
DEGREES-TESTS
I will endeavor to explain as plainly as possible the relative tests in cold water as compared with degrees on thermometer.
The soft-ball test is accomplished by dropping a small amount of the batch into cold water and taking it in the fingers and forming a soft ball of it (as a little ball of glucose would feel between the fingers). The degree for this test on the thermometer is about 240 degrees.
The hard ball test is accomplished in the same manner only when the candy is removed from the water it forms a hard ball. The degree for this test on the thermometer is about 248 degrees.
When the expression is used "cook to a crack" the test is accomplished in the same manner referred to, the candy when placed in the water being flattened between the thumb and index finger. If the candy breaks it is "cooked to a crack." The degree for this test on the thermometer is about 256 degrees.
The hard-crack test is accomplished by dropping a small portion of the candy in cold water ​and flattening out between the thumb and index finger. The candy will be as brittle as thin glass or an egg shell if the hard-crack degree is reached. The degree for this test on the thermometer is about 290 or 295 degrees. If the batch is for hard goods that have glucose in them and a gloss is desired cook to 330 degrees if possible to do so without the batch turning too dark. Remove from fire when light brown no matter at what degree it is as the greater quantity of glucose you use the lower you must cook the batch as glucose will start to burn about 20 degrees before sugar. If the batch you are cooking is pure sugar, that is, if there is cream of tartar used in place of glucose cook to 335 or 340 degrees.
The test "thread" is reached when you put your hand in water and then place your index finger in the batch and remove at once and by placing the thumb and index finger together you can pull a thread out about ¾ of an inch and blow on it without breaking it. This test is used for cordials, jellies, etc., and is about 36 when tested with the saccharometer or syrup gauge.
​If you desire to take the candy out of the batch with your fingers place a pan of cold water near the furnace and dip your hand in the water, then take a small quantity of the candy between the thumb and index finger and back into the water. The operation must be quick or you will burn yourself, and still there is no danger of burning oneself if you are quick. Never use ice-water to test candy in. Use it just as it runs from the faucet.
CHOCOLATE COATING
Of course, the art of dipping chocolates is a trick which can only be accomplished through experience, nevertheless I will endeavor to give you a start at least.
A regular chocolate-warmer which the supply-houses carry is the first thing to get, and in buying one I would advise you to get a good copper one as I have found through experience that one good copper pan will outlast 4 or 5 tin or sheet iron ones. Build a table so as the pan will set down into it and place a little shelf underneath the pan for a gas-burner, on the table so that it will slide up close to the pan place a slab of marble about eighteen inches square and an inch thick. ​Make your table large enough so you can place a tray on each side of the marble one for the centers and the other to set the dipped-centers on.
In the outside pan place water and in the inside pan place the kind of chocolate you wish to dip in, breaking it up into small pieces with a hammer.
When the water gets warm stir the chocolate until melted and then turn gas off. Never allow the gas to burn after the chocolate is melted for you will cook it and it will become coarse. Let set until cooled off a trifle and with your hand take out a quantity of it onto the marble and work back and forth with your hand for a few minutes. This is done to thoroughly mix the chocolate and acclimate your hand. Place one center at a time in the chocolate and pick out with the chocolate hand and roll around with the fingers until thoroughly covered. Let set on the fingers and tap the back of the hand on the marble, then set cream on wax paper to cool. In warm weather place in ice box to cool.
Stringing will come to you gradually.
Do not get discouraged in dipping, it is quite a trick and only comes through experience.
MAKING STICK CANDY
I will endeavor to explain the mysteries of stick-candy for the benefit of the novice.
Of course, there are dozens of formulas for stick candy, but a good formula to be used by the majority of confectioners is 12 pounds of sugar, 3 pounds of glucose, and 2 qts. of water. Very carefully cook the above to 320 degrees, and, if possible, that is, if you have a good fire and your batch doesn't get too dark, cook it to 330 degrees.
The size of the batch may be made larger or smaller as the experience and demand warrant. When the batch is cooked, pour it on a greased slab and in a couple of minutes turn the edges in. Now light your table furnace and put your gloves on (buckskin or horse-hide are preferable). Turn the edges of your batch in again and cut a small piece off about the size of an orange and color it a good deep red with some good paste color. When you have the color well kneaded in, place the piece in front of the table furnace so as to keep it warm while you are attending to the remainder of the batch. Place the part of the batch left, on a place on the slab where there is no grease (if necessary, take a towel and wipe one corner off), knead it up good so as it will stick together, or so as it will not come apart where the grease has touched it.
When it is stiff enough to handle place on ​the hook and pull very vigorously, when you have got it started pour a few drops of peppermint oil on it at the hook and continue to pull, after a couple of more pulls add a few more drops of peppermint. When the batch is very white and has a bright shine on it start twisting the air out, by letting it hang on the hook and twisting to the right or left to resemble a rope, after doing this a couple of times remove from the hook and place on the
Stick Candy Manner of Striping
spinning table (not in front of the table furnace), and knead it up like a person kneads bread. When it is stiff enough to stand up without squatting quickly, form in an oblong square (about 5 inches square and 10 or 12 inches long), and place in front of the table-furnace and have helper keep in shape. Take your piece of red and cut in two, leave half in front of the fire and take the other half and roll out ​into six sticks about as large around as your finger and as long as the batch. Lay them on the white batch about one inch apart and turn the batch over so as it will set on them to make them stick good.
Now take the other half and flatten out and pull out about twice as long as your batch is, cut in two and stick together side by side and pull out again and do the same (it should be about 6 inches wide.) Now lay this on the white batch directly opposite the narrow strips and roll over to make it stick good.
Now roll the batch until round and while you are rolling it press hard on the right end of the batch to make it smaller than the opposite end. When it is nice and round stand the batch on the large end and with both hands

Pulling out Stick Candy
twisted enough to suit and break or cut off, and your helper should roll it to the back end of the table. Continue this way until the batch is gone and your helper should endeavor to keep the sticks on the table moving when not twisting. When done with the batch cut off
Cutting Stick Candy for Jars
The stripe for wintergreen stick is to make about one-half pound of the candy yellow and a very small piece of red. When ready for the stripe pull the yellow out about 6 inches wide and 12 inches long. On each side of this place a red stripe about one-half an inch wide and stick it to the yellow. Pull it out twice as long as the batch, cut in two and place on the batch on opposite sides.
Cinnamon stick is made by taking a small piece of the candy (about 1 pound) and pulling it white for the stripe. The remainder of the batch should be colored a deep red and flavored with Oil of Cassia or Cinnamon. Knead until stiff and stripe with two wide white stripes.
Stripe your stick to suit the custom and habits of your community. Stripes vary all over the world.
BUTTERCUPS.
The beginner will find it advisable to start on small batches and after he has learned the several little tricks that come only by experience he may handle a batch to his liking. Another thing I would advise the novice to do is ​to start on a batch or batches with small centers and have the center hot, even if the goods do not look quite so well the batch will be easier to handle.
I will give you a small batch in the right proportions for a beginner or for a cheap buttercup. First place in a small kettle or pan two pounds of glucose and set on the fire. Stir until the glusoce becomes thin or starts to boil, then remove from the fire and work all the maccaroon cocoanut into it you can, and set on a tub or on the floor next to the furnace to keep warm.
Now place in another kettle ten pounds of sugar, one teaspoonful cream-of-tartar and two quarts water. Set on the fire and stir until it
Washing sugar from sides of Kettle
Remove cover from the batch and place thermomenter in.
Steaming Batch
Cook to 335 degrees and pour out on a nice clean, greased, slab. Turn the edges in a minute or so after pouring out and continue to do so until you can move it to a portion of the slab which has no grease on it. Put your ​gloves on and knead up well and when stiff enough to pull, place on the hook and while you are pulling it flavor with a few drops of rose extract and continue to pull until very glossy, then start twisting the batch as it hangs on the hook, twist the batch until a yard or so from the hook and fold over and twist again. After doing this about 3 times remove from the hook and place on the spinning table and knead up well as a person would a batch of bread. Light your table furnace, place batch in front of it and flatten out so as the batch is about 12 or 15 inches wide. Flatten out the edges on the long sides. Take a handful of starch and place it on one corner of the slab and remove the cocoanut batch from the kettle and place it on the slab where you have the starch, form it into a roll about 2 inches shorter than you have the jacket and place it in the center of the batch, lengthwise. With a damp cloth, which you have handy, dampen one edge of the batch and on folding the jacket over the center see that the side or edge you have dampened is on the outside. Fold in the ends good and tight and roll. While rolling make one end smaller than the other and when you have rolled it nice and round set up on the large end and with both hands form into a sort of indian-club shape, then lay it down and pull out across the butter-cup cutter or if the part between the cutter and the table-furnace gets too cool before you cut it, pull out the strip and cut in lengths long enough to suit the cutter.
​There is quite a trick in keeping your batch just right in front of the furnace, if it chills the jacket will crack and if it is too soft the goods will not shine.
It is also quite important that you should have your. center the proper heat, if too hot it will kill the gloss on the jacket and crack it. One man should take care of the jacket and another watch out for the center for if the man handling the jacket touches the center his gloves will become sticky and spoil the finish on the buttercups.
It is very easy to become discouraged in learning to make butter-cups, so persevere, as experience is the only teacher.
Cream Slab.
There are many varieties of cream slabs, concrete, stone, marble, sheet iron, steel and probably others any of which are good if a man gets used to them. Sometimes a good man will spoil half a dozen batches getting accustomed to a new slab.
If your slab is perfectly smooth your cream needs less doctoring and can be creamed warmer than in the case of a rough slab, as the roughness of the slab will hasten the grain in the sugar.
You should be extremely careful as to the cleanliness of your slab before pouring a batch of cream on it as well as to see that it is always well sprinkled.
Creaming Fondant.
After a batch of cream is on the slab and ready to beat, creaming it is accomplished by using a spatula or creaming scraper, obtainable at most all supply houses.
The tool has about a four-foot handle and a blade on the end about 6 by 4 inches which is usually made of steel.
You handle the tool referred to much in the
Creaming Fondant
same manner as you would a shovel, vigorously working the batch back and forth, turning it over with each stroke so as to fold the outside edges into the batch. First beat on one side, then on the other, keeping the batch from the sides of the slab.
Batch of fondant after creaming
softened up by kneading with the hands or allowing to set for an hour or so with a damp cloth over it which causes it to sweat and mellow up.

Starch Work.
It is policy to have a little room built separate in one corner of the shop for your starch work. The starch-room must be free from dampness.
Starch-boards can be bought of any supply house, they are about 18 by 36 inches and about an inch and a quarter deep with one inch legs.
Corner of a starch room, showing trays ready for impressions
​The starch-room should be large enough to handle about 16 or 18 such boards.
Build a trough in the room large enough to hold about 200 lbs. starch and a table connected with the top of the bin long enough and wide enough to hold at least two boards, then you can pile the others on top of these. When filling your boards mix the starch thoroughly with a cluster of wire, such as an egg whip and scoop starch into the boards until full. Then by scraping a stick over the top of the boards they are leveled off nicely and ready for the impressions.
Starch moulds can be bought of most any supply house.
In placing the moulds on a stick to make impressions with, place them on to fit your funnel, if you use a 5, 6 or 8-nose funnel, place the moulds on accordingly.
Use sealing wax, glue or glucose mixed with starch to a paste in sticking moulds on. Press the moulds into the starch gently and tap with your finger before lifting. You can make the moulds as close together as you see fit. After running the cream in the mould allow to remain until set (usually over night) and remove by running a seive or screen under them and lifting out. Shake off and brush or blow off starch before dipping. A screen for this purpose may be had at supply houses.
When melting cream the best way to tell whether it is hot enough or not is by allowing it to set a moment after it is thin and when a scum forms on the surface remove from the fire. After a little experience you can tell at a glance when the batch is ready.
​If you are running an assortment out of one batch it is possible to flavor all out of the same pan, first, flavor vanilla and fill your vanilla form, then flavor lemon and run your lemon forms, next flavor pineapple and run them, then flavor strawberry and run, and last of all flavor maple, color brown and run them.

Add enough glycerine to the batch to ​reduce it to 244 degrees, then remove from fire and pour on damp slab.
When cool cream up and use for patties, bon-bons, etc.
CREAM PATTIES.
Place in a pan or double boiler about 4 pounds Patti-Cream and place over steam or boiling water and stir until all dissolved and a crust-like ice forms on the surface.
Proper way of holding funnel in running Cream Patties
Remove from the fire and take your pattie funnel (with stick to fit the hole) and hold over fire until warm.
Flavor cream, place in funnel and drop patties out on wax paper, laying on trays or spinning table.
After they have set firmly, run a large knife under the paper to keep from sticking to wood, pick patties up and place on edge in pans.
​If the cream is too thick after being melted add enough water to thin to the proper consistency.
If your cream is too hot the patties will spot and if not hot enough they will stick together.
Never lay paper on a cool slab as this will also spot them.
Make your patties in pale tints, except the chocolate.
COLORS AND FLAVORS FOR PATTIES.
* White—Peppermint.
* Pink—Wintergreen.
* Maple—Maple.
* Chocolate—Chocolate.
* Green—Pistachio .
* Lavender—Violet.
* Red—Cinnimon.
* Blue—Heliotrope.
* Yellow—Lemon.
* Orange—Orange.
VARIEGATED PATTIES.
Melt cream ready to run and flavor to suit.
For red, white and blue patties, take your funnel and with your finger draw a streak of red color up the inside of funnel from top to bottom on one side and on the opposite side make a streak of blue. Pour cream in the funnel and run out as usual.
For green and white variegated patties make two streaks of green color.
BON-BON DIPPING.
Place in a double boiler three or four pounds of bon-bon cream and melt until a slight crust forms on the surface when you allow it to set for a moment.
Remove from fire and place one center at a time in the cream and fish out with a bon-bon fork. Place on wax paper and mark as desired. Do not allow your cream to become too hot.
Nice centers for high-class retail trade are pineapple fritters cut in small points, nice large French cherries, marshmallows, all kinds of nuts, fruit paste and cream centers if you desire.
Make your bon-bons very pale in color.
Use flavors such as vanilla, rose, violet, pistachio, heliotrope. Dip brazils in maple cream.
STOCK FONDANT.
Take
| 20 | lbs. A sugar. |
| 3 | qts. cold water. |
| 1 | teaspoonful cream-of-tartar. |
Place all in bright, copper kettle.
Stir until well mixed and when the mixture comes to a boil skim the formation from the surface, wash off the inside of the kettle between the surface of the batch and the edge of the kettle, and cover over with a wooden or steel cover. Allow to steam for 5 minues and remove cover. Place thermometer in batch and cook to 242 degrees, pour on ​well-sprinkled slab and allow to remain for about 5 minutes and then sprinkle surface of batch with cold water.
When the batch is thoroughly cold cream up as other creams.
Place in crock or tub and cover with damp cloth.
Use this cream for bon-bon centers, graining batches, etc.
GELATINE FONDANT.
| 20 | lbs. A sugar. |
| 3 | qts. water. |
| 1 | tablespoonful cream-of-tartar. |
Place all in a kettle and stir until thoroughly mixed.
When mixture comes to a boil skim off all formation coming to the surface.
With a wet sponge or scrub-brush wash off the inside of the kettle between the surface of the batch and edge of the kettle. Cover over with wooden or steel kettle cover and allow to steam for 5 minutes.
Remove cover and place thermometer in batch. Cook to 244 degrees and set off on barrel.
Have 2 sheets of gelatine, previously soaked (until slimy), squeeze water out of it, drop into the batch and allow your batch to set for just about one minute to allow the gelatine to become mixed without stirring it.
Pour on damp slab and cream when cold. Use for patties, bon-bons, etc.
PLAIN PATTIE FONDANT.
Place in a bright, clean copper kettle 20 lbs. A sugar and 1 gal. water, set on furnace and stir a few minutes until sugar and water are thoroughly mixed and when it starts to boil skim off all formation on surface of batch and take a damp sponge or scrub-brush and wash off the inside of the kettle between surface of the batch and the edge of kettle. Cover with a wooden or steel cover and allow to steam for about 5 minutes. Remove cover and place thermometer in batch. Cook to 245 degrees and very carefully pour on a well-sprinkled slab. Allow to remain about 5 minutes without disturbing and then sprinkle lightly with cold water. Let set until partially cold and cream.
Place in crock or tub and keep covered with a damp cloth. This is the finest cream for patties and split bon-bons that I have ever come in contact with. When running patties with it get cream good and hot and your patties will shine like they were varnished and they will never stick together.
PATTIE FONDANT.
Place in kettle
| 50 | lbs. A sugar. |

Set off and add 4 sheets of gelatine (previously soaked in cold water until they are soft or slimy).
Pour on damp slab and cream when cold. Use for cream patties, bon-bons, etc.
NOTICE ON SCRAP.
When making candy of scrap do not become discouraged on your first attempt as it is impossible for me to regulate the scrap you use and if you use too much glucose or not enough the result may be passable, but not up to stand ard. In working scrap it takes more brain's than in any other branch of the business.
It is policy to keep your different kinds of scrap separate, such as cream scrap, caramels, hard goods and so on and try to keep the light and dark scrap separate also.
Don't allow any acid goods, such as acid drops, etc., to become mixed with the other scrap, it is policy to throw it out. Do not cook any quantity of marshmellows with scrap, they make the batch tough and gummy.
SCRAP FONDANT.
Place any quantity of cream scrap in a kettle with enough water to dissolve. Not too much glucose candy.
Boil until all is dissolved, and strain.
Boil to 243 degrees and pour on cream slab.
Cream quite warm and when it hardens place in bucket and cover with damp cloth for stock.
SCRAP CENTERS.
Take any quantity of scrap fondant and place in pan over steam and melt until quite hot.
Remove all from fire and add vanilla flavor and ground nutmeg.
Run into any mould in starch and dip in sweet chocolate.
CHOCOLATE ALMOND EGG NOUGAT.
Place 25 lbs. mixed scrap in a kettle with enough water to dissolve or about 3 qts., when all is melted strain. Cook to 250 degrees and pour half over the well beaten whites of 18 eggs. Add 3 ounces cocoa butter. Cook the other half of batch to 260 degrees and pour into the eggs. Test batch in cold water and see if you have a stiff ball, such as a caramel test.

CANDY DISHES.
The batch for making dishes consists of the following:
| 4 | lbs. sugar. |
| 1 | lb. glucose. |
| 1 | qt. water. |
Set on fire and mix.
When batch starts to boil remove paddle and place cover on kettle. Allow to steam for several minutes, then remove cover and wash off the sides of kettle with a wet brush. Place thermometer in batch and cook to 300°. ​Pour on greased slab and fold in edges. Cut the batch in three pieces, color one red, one green and one yellow. Place in front of table-furnace and just partly knead together. Form in roll and cut pieces off large enough to make desired dish. Your batch may be colored in any manner to suit your taste.
Candy Dish made over 5 gallon ice-cream can
Candy dish made in large soup bowl
​The dishes are made over the bottoms of glasses, bowls, cans, jars, bottles, etc.
With a rolling-pin you flatten out a piece of the candy as thin as an ordinary piece of glass, then you place it over the mould and form the edges with your fingers, place in front of electric fan for a moment and remove from mould.
Large punch-bowls and display dishes are made in the same way, using ice cream cans, bowls, pans, etc., as moulds. The smaller dishes are used as salted-almond cups, ice cream cups, bon-bon dishes, etc.
After the dishes are made and cooled give them a thin coat of confectioner's glazine, although I have discontinued the use of it altogether and let them go plain. Bronzing the edges adds considerably to the appearance.
A little practice is all that is necessary in making this article.
SALTED ALMONDS.
Place in a nice clean kettle two or three pounds of some good cooking grease and set on fire. When hot add the desired amount of almonds and stir and cook until a nice light-brown, then strain grease back into can and spread almonds out on a large sheet of manila paper, sprinkle with salt and allow to cool. Use grease over and over until black and dirty, then throw out and use new.
To blanch the almonds place in a pot, cover with water and allow the water to come to a boil, then strain water off and let cold water run on almonds until they are cold.
​Now, by squeezing between the fingers the skins can be slipped from the almonds very easily. Place the blanched almonds on a cloth and place in a dry place.
Butter can be used for cooking the nuts in but the cooking grease is more satisfactory and cheaper.
SALTED PEANUTS.
The same instructions apply for salted peanuts as for salted almonds.
SALTED PECANS, WALNUTS, ETC.
Place the nuts in a sieve, sprinkle lightly with water, then sprinkle with salt and shake over fire until dry.
GLACE NUTS.
Place in kettle
| 4 | lbs. sugar. |
| 1 | lb. glucose. |
| 1 | qt. water. |
Set on fire and mix.
When boiling remove paddle, cover kettle and allow to steam for several minutes. Remove cover, wash off sides of kettle with a wet brush and place thermometer in batch.
Cook to 300°, remove from fire and dip the bottom of kettle into a pan of cold water. Set kettle on slab and drop nuts into it, one at a time, fish out with a fork and drop on greased rock.
GLACE FRUITS.
Place in kettle any fruit you desire to glace (pineapple, cherry, figs, apricots, etc.) and add ​enough water to boil them in. Now add sugar, allowing five pounds for each two quarts of water.
Set on fire and cook to a thread or until a little between your fingers or between two sticks will just barely string out an inch and a half or so. Kemove from fire and grain the syrup on side of kettle until cloudy, then fish fruit out with a fork and lay on sieve to dry.
ICING FOR DECORATING.
Take the whites of three eggs, place in a bowl and with a fork whip until thin or until well mixed. Run powdered sugar through a fine sieve two or three times and place about one-half pound with the eggs and mix good. Add a pinch of cream of tartar and about one drop of blue color. Add powdered *sugar until the mixture is very stiff. Beating has a great deal to do with getting a nice icing.
Procure different styles of tubes and paper from your supply-house.
Cut the paper in triangle shape about ten inches on one straight side and eighteen inches on the angled side. Take hold of the paper by the two outside points and roll into a cornucopia, folding the outside point inside to make it hold firm. Cut the point from the cornucopia and drop the tube inside. Fill with icing of any color and by holding in the hand and pressing, the icing will come out and can be run into any desired design.
Practice is the only thing that will make a good decorator.
PARTY CANDIES
PARTY CANDIES.
Party candies and favors are a very nice line to cater to. Always have a small case which contains samples of different specialties for the several holidays honored in your locality.
A few forms used in making Party Candies
These specialties usually sell at a wonderful profit and are something which add to your prestige, as people will talk about how pretty they are and will consequently inquire where they come from.
I will endeavor to suggest a few of the different novelties which I have made.
NEW YEARS.
New Years Day is one holiday that there is no special form or design for, outside of the date of the year just passed linked by a ​hyphen with the year just starting. One pretty favor I have made is to run out large patties in any desired shade and with decorating icing pipe the dates on and a little vine or flower added, helps.
LINCOLN'S BIRTHDAY.
Red, white and blue variegated patties and small flags piped on large patties.
VALENTINE'S DAY.
Quite an elaborate line can be made for Valentine Parties, red opera stick, red cinnamon patties, heart patties run in starch, heart-shaped ice cream dishes which I will explain. It is first necessary to have a form made by a tinner, cut out a circular piece of tin about five inches in diameter, draw a heart on it and bend a strip of tin about one inch wide and 15 inches long to fit the heart, and solder on solidly.
Place in kettle
| 4 | lbs. sugar. |
| 1 | lb. glucose. |
| 1 | qt. water. |
Cook to 300° and pour on greased slab, color red, flavor cassia and knead up good until quite stiff. Place in front of table-furnace and spin out in strips about ¾ inch wide and 15 inches long or long enough to go around the heart mold, wrap around mould and drop off in front of electric fan. Continue this way until batch is consumed. Grease slab and set hearts on it so as they will not touch one another. Place in kettle 4 lbs. sugar, 1 lb. ​glucose and a qt. of water. Cook to 300° and remove from fire. Color deep red. Warm up pattie funnel and stick and fill with batch, then run bottoms in hearts and have some one follow along and loosen from slab as soon as they start to cool. This is a very neat article for serving ice cream in.
Red bon-bons are also a good thing to have on hand.
WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY.
Red, white and blue candies of all sorts. Variegated patties made by rubbing with your finger, a stripe of red and blue color on opposite sides of the inside of pattie funnl. Fill with white fondant melted over steam bath and run out on wax paper, the result will be red, white and blue patties.
Red, white and blue baskets are nobby. Cook a batch of stick-candy per recipe given herein and pull body of batch. Place on it one wide red stripe and one wide blue stripe. Pull out the size of a lead pencil and twist around in cup and with the end form a handle. Have some one hold each basket in front of electric-fan until cool.
Red, white and blue ribbon-balls are also very pretty.
Red, white and blue bon-bons also.
White bon-bons with a very small American flag on each are also pretty.
ST. PATRICK'S DAY.
All manner of candy made up green.
Green patties, bon-bons, lime-drops, ​ribbon-balls, cinnamon potatoes, shamrock ice cream dishes. For the cinnamon potatoes make a batch of opera-cream and roll into small balls, then roll in ground cinnamon and with a match make little holes, to represent eyes.
For the shamrock ice cream dishes refer to the novelties for Valentine's day and make in the same manner as the hearts having a shamrock mould made and using green candy in place of red.
APRIL FOOL'S DAY.
For the first of April a person should have on hand a few candies to be used as jokes
Cut some pasteboards the size and shape of chocolate-chips and dip as such.
Cut pieces of wood to represent caramels and dip for dip-caramels. Mix cayenne-pepper with fondant, roll into small balls and dip in chocolate.
Cut limberger cheese in squares and dip in chocolate.
These are a few suggestions and you can work up several ideas of your own.
EASTER.
Eggs of all descriptions and lavender and white candies.
Easter Egg. before and after decorating
​ball the shape of an egg. Dip in sweet coating and when yon place the eggs on the counter for display cut one of the eggs in two to show the yolk center. Make in 5, 10, and 25 cent sizes, allowing about two ounces for 5 cents.
Procure from a supply house tin egg moulds of different sixes and grease each mould and place a little chocolate in the tin and with the fingers spread out all over the inside of tin until set. Place in a cool place and when hard slide out of mould. When you get a quantity made stick together by placing warm chocolate on the edges and sticking together. They can either be given a coat of glazine or not as you wish. Decorate with icing, dragus, and flowers. For a novelty small chickens, eggs, etc., can be placed in the center of eggs.
Make candy platters by cooking 4 lbs. sugar, 1 lb. glucose and 3 pts. water to 300° and after pouring on greased slab and pulling well, place in front of table furnace and take small pieces and roll out flat in oval-shape, press over small china platters and allow to cool. Take small balls of orange fondant and place about 2 on a platter. Take a piece of white fondant and roll out smooth and flat, place over the orange balls to represent poached eggs. Make some bacon by taking yellow, chocolate and white cream and laying in a pan in thin layers until about an inch thick. Turn out and cut crossways and place on the platters in small strips. With a little good judgment these novelties can be made quite attractive.
​Make a good showing of lavender and white patties, lavender and white opera-stick and butter-cups, also.
FOURTH OF JULY.
Make all manner of red, white and blue candy. Patties, ribbon-candy, bon-bons, etc.
THANKSGIVING-DAY.

RAISIN CARAMELS.
Make a batch of vanilla caramels and after removing from fire add about one pound seedless raisins.
MAGNOLIA KISSES.
Place any desired amount of cream fondant in a pan and place pan over boiling water. Stir fondant as water boils until it is all melted.
Remove from fire, flavor vanilla and add some chopped English walnuts. Spoon out in kisses onto wax paper. When spooning kisses keep dipping your knife into a pan of hot water to keep it from sticking to the cream.
SNOW-FLAKES.
Melt cream the same as for Magnolia Kisses and drop three or four cherries onto the ​cream at a time and spoon out with a little of the cream, just taking out one cherry at a time.

Color a little piece red, a little piece green and a little piece lavender.
Pull the balance of batch and flavor peppermint, anise, lime or any flavor you desire. Place on spinning table, flatten out and place strips on three separate pieces. Now bump the pieces together and pull out in thin chips about ½ or ¾ of an inch wide and cut in buttercup-cutter.
Cook another batch and pull out round and cut like buttercups.
Cook another batch and take a small piece and pull it for a stripe. Take the balance of batch and color half red and flavor cinnamon and the other half green and flavor lime. When quite cool form in round loaf and stripe with several small white stripes. Pull out round and cut as butter-cups.
There is no limit to the assortment, simply use your own judgment. Keep in tight jars.
MINT-CREAM BRAID.
Make a batch of after-dinner mints and after you have placed on table, pull out in strings as large around as your finger and form three pieces, each about twelve inches long, into a braid by having one person hold the three strands in their fingers while you braid them the same as you would hair or rope. Lay in pans until grained, then wrap in wax paper for counter.

When a pretty stout string is formed the batch is cooked, remove from fire and set on tub.
Color red and flavor rose, stir the color and flavor in very gently so as not to start a grain. Run into starch with a pattie funnel and have a stick which fits very closely or wrap your stick with a little piece of cloth. Do not work the stick up and down over each hole or you ​will grain the syrup, allow the syrup to run out in a small stream and move the funnel along over the impressions as fast as they fill up, only stopping funnel at the ends of the tray.
After they have set about half an hour sprinkle starch over the trays to cover the cordials and allow to set over night. Remove from starch very carefully and either dip in chocolate or crystallize in a 34 crystal.

Opera caramels can be made in various forms, part may be colored pink and flavored strawberry, and part of it may be flavored with melted chocolate or dry cocoa. If you take caramel pans, line them with wax paper and cut French cherries and pineapple into small pieces, then scatter them onto the wax paper together with some walnuts or pecans and press the plain cream on the pans so the fruit will show on top, turn out, peel off wax paper, mark into caramels, you will have a very attractive piece of candy.

​Set on fire and mix.
When batch starts to boil, place cover on kettle, allow to steam for a few minutes, remove cover, wash off sides of kettle with a wet brush and place thermometer in.
Cook to 290° and pour on greased slab. Turn edges in, cut batch in two, color one piece pink and have the other one white. Pull both good, flavoring the white vanilla and the pink strawberry. After pulling place on table in front of furnace and pull out in strips about 1½ inches wide and mark in 1½-inch lengths with caramel market. Spin out about ¼ inch thick.
Cook another batch the same as the first one and after it is on the slab color a little piece red and a little piece green and place in front of table furnace to keep warm. Cut the balance of batch in two and pull separately, flavoring one piece peppermint and the other lime. Flatten out in front of table furnace and on the peppermint place six red stripes, three on each side and do the same with the green on the lime. Spin out and mark the same as the other batch. Place 5 lbs. sugar and 5 lbs. glucose, with a quart of water in the kettle and cook as you did the other batch to 290° and add to it a pint of molasses. When well boiled in pour on greased slab, pull and spin out as you did the others.
Place a 5 and 5 batch in kettle, cook to 290° and pour between iron bars the same as for caramels only thinner and while it is still ​hot sprinkle over it macaroon eocoanut which has been previously colored red by placing red color on the hands and rubbing the cocoanut between them. Mark in squares with caramel marker before it is cold.

IMITATION VANILLA FLAVOR.
This will make 10 gal. of a fine vanilla flavor, one which I have used for quite a few years.
​Place in a kettle 7 lbs. sugar and 2 gals, water. Bring it to a boil and set off. Add to this syrup while it is warm 8 oz. vaniline and 2 oz. coumarine.
Place in a ten-gallon keg and add 2 gals, alcohol and enough water to fill the keg. Color with caramel color and red color to a desired shade, cork up and set in a warm place for 3 or 4 months. The longer you leave it set the better the vanilla.
DIPPED STRAWBERRIES.
First take and pick out a desired amount of nice solid strawberries. Do not wash them.
Obtain several clips with hooks on them, the kind that haberdashers use for hanging shirts, etc., in their windows.
Stretch a line the length of your spinning table about eighteen or twenty inches over it. Lay wax paper under the string.
Now melt some fondant in a double boiler and set handy to the table.
Take the strawberries and fasten the clips onto the stems. Dip down in the cream as far as the green and hang on the line to drip.
Proceed in this manner until all the berries are dipped. This piece should only be made for special orders as they will not keep long.
GLACE ORANGES.
Separate the pods of oranges but be very careful not to break the skin.
Make a solution of gum-arabic and water and dip the orange pieces in it.
After they have set long enough to dry, dip
​in candy made of 4 lbs. sugar, 1 lb. glucose, 1 qt. water, cooked to 300°, with a fork, drop on greased slab.
Just make this for special orders.
DIPPED GRAPES.

Dip in bon-bon fondant as you would bon-bons.
Make for special orders only.
GLACE MAROONS.

Pour the contents of a can in a kettle and add to it about a quart of water and 5 lbs. sugar. Set on fire, stir very carefully and cook to a thread.
Remove from fire, grain until the syrup is cloudy, and lift out carefully onto sieve to dry.
POPCORN CRISP.
Place in kettle
| 3 | lbs. sugar. |
| ½ | lb. Glucose. |
| 1 | pt. water. |
Set on fire and mix.
Cook to 300° and add ½ pt. molasses and a piece of butter the size of a walnut. Stir good until the batch turns a golden color and set on tub.
Add 2 lbs. popcorn and stir until thoroughly covered with the candy.
​Spread out on greased slab and break apart for tray.
This can also be made up in 5-cent balls.
SPUN SUGAR NESTS.
Set two cases on your slab far enough apart to span your iron bars across. Lay four or five of the" bars on the boxes. Take a wire egg-whip and cut the wires so that the ends hang loose.
Cook 3 lbs. sugar, 1 lb. glucose and a quart of water to 300°. Set batch on slab, dip wires into it and swing back and forth over the wires.
Take the fine strings that hang and form into bird-nests.
RIBBON NESTS.
Place in kettle
| 8 | lbs. sugar. |
| 2 | qts. water. |
| 1 | teaspoonful cream-of-tartar. |
Set on fire and mix.
When batch boils, remove paddle, wash down sides with a wet brush and cover kettle.
Allow to steam for a few minutes, remove cover and place thermometer in batch and cook to 335°. Pour on greased slab. Turn in edges, place gloves on and when stiff enough to handle pull vigorously until very glossy. Flavor rose while pulling. Twist air out and place on spinning table, knead up until stiff, form in a round loaf, place in front of batch warmer and pull out in small string about the ​size of hemp rope.
Take a bunch of the candy about as large as a base-ball and form in a coffee cup to resemble a bird's nest.
Rbbon Nests made in glass sherbet cups, if possible, set in front of electric fan just after forming
COLORED SUGAR SAND.
Take any desired amount of granulated sugar and place on a pan.
Now take any paste color and smear a little of it on the palms of your hands and rub the sugar between your hands until it is the proper shade.
WOODLAND GOODIES.
Place in kettle
| 3 | lbs. sugar. |
| 2 | lbs. glucose. |
| 1 | qt. water. |
Set on fire and mix.
When batch comes to a boil place thermometer in and cook 290°. Then add to it about a teaspoonful salt and 4 lbs. mixed nuts (walnuts, pecans, almonds, filberts, brazils, etc.), ​stir nuts in well, remove from fire, turn out on greased slab and pull off in small clusters.
Turn and knead the batch often to keep it from getting too cool on one side.
These can be made in the separate kinds of nuts also.
CRYSTAL SYRUP.
Place in kettle, say, 20 lbs. sugar, add to it 9 qts. water, set on fire and mix.
When batch starts to boil skim off all foreign matter which arises to the surface, place cover on kettle and allow to steam for a few minutes.
Remove cover, wash off sides of kettle with a wet brush and if you have a syrup gauge, dip the cup into the batch and fill, then set gauge in syrup and if it shows a 35 weight (which is a nice crystal for ordinary purposes) remove from fire and set in a solid place where it will not be agitated and consequently broken. When syrup is cool, and ready for use, sprinkle the surface of batch with cold water and allow to set until crust is dissolved. Then dip out and very carefully pour over goods, place a sheet of paper on the surface of the syrup after it is in the pans and when ready to remove from pans, just take the paper off and the crust comes with it.
If you have no syrup gauge, cook the syrup to 228° and reduce with water to 220°.
CUT ROCK.
Cut-rock is one piece of candy which cannot be made satisfactorily from the information which it is possible to give in a book.
​The batch is the same as for stick candy. Cut batch in two, color half red and pull the other half (flavor while pulling 1 ), now take a piece of the white and form into a round piece about 2 inches in diameter and 10 inches long. Wrap a thin piece of red around the white, pull out until it is about as large as your finger and cut off in ten-inch lengths. Place all together and form into a round piece. Place the balance of white around it and place what is left of the red around the white. Pull out like stick candy and chop off in half-inch lengths. After some practice you can make most anything you desire.
SAUER KRAUT CANDY.
Place in kettle
| 2 | lbs. glucose. |
| 2 | lbs. molasses. |
| 2 | lbs. fresh thread cocoanut. |
| 1 | qt. water. |
Set on fire, stir and cook until a little tested in cold water forms a soft ball.
Remove from fire, add all the cocoanut it will take up, a little salt and just a few drops of lemon extract.
Roll out on greased slab the thickness of iron bars and cut in oblong pieces when cool. Wrap in wax paper.
SIMPLE SYRUP.
Place in kettle 3 gal. water, set on fire and bring to a boil.
Remove from fire and add 30 lbs. sugar.
​Stir and dissolve.

ICE CREAM
SHERBETS
ETC.
FREEZING ICE CREAM.
The matter of freezing greatly relies on the existing circumstances. The speed of the freezer must be taken into consideration, different workmen declaring that different speeds are right. For myself I think 125 revolutions a minute is right. I have seen freezers running as slow as 75 and others running as fast as 150.
When the batch is strained into the freezing can, place dasher in and cover on, now slide tub into place and see that the gears fit all right before placing any ice in tub. Fill the tub with plain ice and allow to stand for at least 5 minutes.
Now place just about a quart of ice cream salt on the ice and start freezer.
After it has been turning about 5 minutes fill with ice again and about 3 quarts of salt.
Allow to freeze until pulling pretty hard and stop freezer. Knock the plug out of tub and allow brine to run off.
After removing cover, hold dasher up in one hand while you scrape cream from it with a case knife or small palette knife.
If you find that your batch does not fill the can, cut the salt down a trifle next time.
Salt varies in strength as does ice in freezing properties.
If your batches are watched carefully and a little study given to freezing you will have no trouble.
STORING ICE CREAM.
It is more satisfactory to store ice cream in boxes than in tubs.
In a box 2 ft. square you can store 4 fivegallon cans and pack them with the same quantity of ice and salt as it would take to store 2 five-gallon cans in tubs.
It is policy to have jackets made for the cans and when a can is pulled out an empty can may be inserted in its place without the ice falling in.
GELATINE IN ICE CREAM.
The most particular thing in using gelatine is to see that it is well dissolved.
Place the desired amount of gelatine in a can, add the water and set can in a kettle of boiling water. Stir the gelatine once in a while and allow to remain in the boiling water until thoroughly dissolved.
If you should use 3 oz. in a ten-gallon batch use about ½ gallon of water to dissolve it in.
STRAINING.
Never fail to strain your batches into the freezing can, and see that your sieve is very fine.
The supply houses have a sieve for this pur- pose, and I would advise you to secure one.
MIXING.
Stir and mix your batch thoroughly before straining into freezing can. It is well to mix ​the batch in a milk can or mixing can, using a large wooden paddle to stir it with.
Fine granulated should be used unless recipe otherwise states. The recipe given for vanilla herein is quite good for ice cream, but there are some vanilla oils on the market which are very satisfactory as they contain no alcohol to freeze out.
CREAM.
I should advise using 18 to 22 per cent butter-fat cream unless recipe otherwise states.
Where a recipe calls for condensed milk and it is impossible to secure same in your locality, evaporated milk which can be had in cans will be just as satisfactory.
BREAKING ICE.
If you do not possess an ice crusher I would advise you to get one as soon as possible, as the saving in time and the satisfactory results received from having your ice uniform at all times will very soon counteract the expense of installing same.

After cutting wrap each brick around with wax or parchment paper before placing in box.
VALENTINE BRICKS.
You can secure from a confectioner's supply house a heart brick. The outside is to be frozen first by filling with white cream. After it is hard pour a few drops of hot water into the hole in center and pull out. Fill with red cream and freeze.

Buy a steel baker's mixing bowl, about 2 gallon size, which is about 10 inches in diameter at the top and about 12 inches deep. Get some steel spring wire and twist into a whip. The finer the wire the better.
See that your cream is on ice about 4 or 5 hours before you whip it and while whipping set pan on ice.
TEST FOR ICES.
If you use a syrup gauge for testing ices anywhere from 18 to 22 will work satisfactorily. After the mixture is ready for the freezer, fill the tube with liquid and set gauge in it. Where the liquid comes to on the gauge is the test.
Do not add acid to batch before you freeze it.
STOCK ICES.
Place in a kettle 16 pounds sugar and 2 gallons water. Bring to a boil and place in freezing can. Add enough water to make 9½ gallons and freeze. Use this as a foundation for all ices, adding flavor to suit after it is frozen.
