Love the desserts and sweets your Grandma used to make when you were a child? Longed for that special treat Mom used to make? Look no further! This collection of authentic vintage dessert recipes will bring you back in time with our favorite old-fashioned desserts!
In this cookbook, we've collected an assortment of 80 vintage dessert recipes ranging from as far back as the 1800s all the way up to the 1970s. Some are wholesome comfort foods, like the potato doughnuts and the upside-down pineapple cake, and others are kitschy and eclectic, like the Green Angel Lime Cake and the Orange Raisin Gems, while others are still made by hand even today, like the Never Fail Devil Food Cake and the fudge squares.
With this collection, we wanted to tweak your memory and your senses a little, and hopefully bring to mind some things you know and love from your childhood. Inside, you will also find useful information on vintage baking, temperature conversions, and lots of tips and ideas on how to preserve family recipes. This cookbook with pictures will show you the way our great-grandmothers, grandmothers, and mothers used to bake desserts for their loved ones. The recipes included here are from our family recipe boxes handwritten on cards and that have been passed down from one generation to the next. The dishes are heartwarming and made every time with lots of love! Dessert recipes from our lost recipes collection include pies, cakes, cupcakes, custards, puddings, pastries, cookies, squares, doughnuts, sweet loaves, and muffins.
