Icing the CnIScs.
Do not mix the process of baking and
icing. Let all the cakes cool thoroughly
before applying yourself to the somewhat
intricate task of icing them, IL you want
them to rival in daintiness and fanciful-
ness the mixed small cakes displayed in
the cases of smart caterers.
White and pink icings are appropriate
10 Independence Day, but patriotism
should not induce the cook to try expert
ments in coloring the icing blue. Tiny
blue candies can be bought and stuck
into the white icing in a design, or candied
violets may be used to finish of the CEN
ter Of each small white-iced cake
A good receipt for unboiled white icing
is the following:
Into a china bowl drop the whites of
two very fresh eggs, add a small pinch
Of cream of tartar. and a tablespoonful
Of water. Beat lightly, and then add
slowly, beating all the while, two cupfuis
OF confectioner's sugar. Beat hard for
not less than ten minutes until II is
smooth as velvet, and spread on the lit
tie cakes at once. Ice them on all sides
but one. and set them far apart to ac-
quire gloss. Bits OF candied cherries
or candied violets may be used to set of
the white icing. To tint this icing the
crimson color desired for Independence
Day substitute homemade cochineal
coloring for part of the cold water. To
make this. allow twenty grains of cochi-
neal to fifteen grains Of cream Of tartar

OF pea and a gill of distilled water for

Strain through muslin, add a little alco-
hol, and keep in corked bottle.
Sponge Cakes.
The following receipt is most dependable
for small sponge cakes:
Beat the whites OF ten eggs to a froth
in a large earthen bowl. In another
bowl beat the yolks OF six eggs to a
cream, then pour them into the whites
and add two cups OF granulated sugar
and beat hard for five minutes. Add the
strained juice and the grated rind of
one lemon. sift two teaspOonfuls of bak-
ing powder into three Cupfuls OF pastry

Small Cakes.
The simplest Of cakes, baked in small
patty pans or odd-shaped tins, and dain-
tily iced, take on a new charm when
served with ices. but the housewife who
has been accustomed to baking these
same receipts in larage pans must allow
Tor the difference in the size of her
moulds. For instance, if she is baking
small sponge or pound cakes after the
same recipe that she uses for large-sized
cakes, she must have a quicker oven. II
she uses an oven thermometer, she will
ma that the best results for small cakes
are secured at heat of 80 degrees Fair.
A gas oven is best of all for cooking
small cakes, as it does not require chang
ing and testing between each fresh
batch" of small pans. II is remarkable
how many times these little pans must
be rehlled before a sufficient supply is
secured.
The charm of the small cake is its deli
cacy, and 1t should be beaten with excep-
tional care. Use an agate or earthenware
bowl and awooden or agate spoon. Do
no use tin, as it is sure to yield some
discoloration during the vigorous beating
to which hemixture is subjected
Use pastry flour and the best Of butter
and eggs, and, to secure a very fine grain
in the cake, employ confectioners' sugar.
1t is much finer than pulverized sugar
and is unrivaled for icing

come in various styles, and in some very
fanciful shapes. The latter cause con-
