Birthday Cake.


Dear Mrs. Telford:
VIII sou kindly inform me through

make a birthday cake. as ] should

The nature OF a birthday cake is
secondary to its ornamentation. 1t
must be round, well frosted with due
regard to its decorative effect, and
garlanded with green or flowers Col
ored candles In the little tin or rose
bud holders that come especially for
them should be arranged about the
cake and correspond in number with
the child,s years. After the cake is
ba ked and thoroughly cooled give II
coat OF plain icing. then with a
funnel made of stiff white writing
paper press either white or colored
icing through on to the cake. maxi
ing any pattern desired. Sometimes
coiored candles are used to outline
the child's name or the year. When
all is finished put a lace paper doiley
under the cake and give II the place
of honor on the table. Many moth
ers think it a good plan not to cut
this cake until the children are ready
to go home. II the birthday being
celebrated il that of child, then the
one entertaining cuts the cake and
each guest is given a neatly wrapped
piece to carry home as souvenir.
In this case sheet OF oiled paper
and little fancy boxes add much to
the face value of the gift
