+Uniquely Madison To be fair, I made three practice Lady Baltimore cakes before the final one because I am not that great at baking! LOL! But the mason jar cakes really ARE that easy!
I'm glad I searched for the Lord Baltimore cake. The title of this video gave me a laugh - I've heard of this cake! It was a favourite of mine in my youth (during the 70s). I subscribed to your channel. Thanks so much! 😍❤️
Love that Sweets of America picture! I'm Canadian so not familiar with it, but I'm about to waste a good hour of my life researching it because, yum, sweets! :)
+M egan Yay, found this link in case anyone else is curious! www.slate.com/articles/life/food/2014/08/united_sweets_of_america_map_a_dessert_for_every_state_in_the_country.html
+M egan Yay! So glad you liked it. I too need to spend a few hours researching it! If you find something you want me to recreate and then make modern, let me know!
I feel so behind the times! I just discovered your channel and I have been binge watching your videos! I love all things vintage and really enjoy your channel, keep up the great work!
I've made a Lady Baltimore cake, and it IS wonderful! My good old Fanny Farmer cookbook has all those traditional and basic recipes, and I wouldn't do without it. :) I really enjoy your UA-cam videos!
+Making It Modern I've actually given new versions as wedding shower gifts, because they have all the basic recipes plus a lot of old ones. She published her first book in the late 1800's, introducing the use of standard measurements in cooking. The cookbooks even include milk toast! :)
You can sugar flowers much like you would with fruit and that makes them much better if you actually plan to eat them. What I learned as a taste tester for my ma (who makes wedding cakes) petals are OK, the centers are sometimes horribly bitter, and you don't really want to chomp into a stem. Sugared rose petals are lovely and light enough that they don't change the cake flavor!
I always add a teaspoon of vanilla to baking mixes - cookies, cakes, and brownies. So it was fun to see you do that, too. I gotta admit, though, that only brownie mixes come close to the “from scratch” versions. That’s probably because the basic flavours are stronger.
I heard about this on the Great Gildersleeve show - Margery learned to make it on one episode ... I've been looking for a recipe ever since - this is the FIRST recipe I've ever found
The frosting used in this recipe is called 7 minute frosting, and you can make it on the stove if you have a double boiler and a rotary beater. Same ingredients, just with less dirty dishes.
Well my recollection is that the original Lady Baltimore Cake had two icings, a hard one and a soft one. Is thst not correct? I remember this because it made the cake exceedingly sweet.
This would be a great dessert either way, but I love the idea of bringing the Mason jar version along on a picnic. And the dried fruit and nut filling -- yum! But do you think dates could be subbed for figs? Not a fan of fig seeds.
Gotta love old school ads. "Use Crisco, it's digestible!"
Wow! Both cakes are works of art, you make it look so easy. Great job!

Loving the quiz!! I'm loving the mason jar cakes!!!

+Laura Richardson I think I need to get a Fanny Farmer cookbook! :)

I have one of the original versions of the book and I LOVE IT!!
I think the, uh the bake on my Lady Baltimore... something went wrong.
The Kirby T ive been looking for this
I’m glad I’m not the only one that thought to do this.
So pretty! I've never tried flowers before, my brother used to like eating little flowers as a baby and it was pretty cute.
+lady12480 Flowers are a wonderful and easy way to decorate a cake, but I don't love how they taste, so I recommend removing them before serving.

I've heard of it. I've been staring at the recipe in my early 1960's Betty Crocker cookbook, wanting to make it.
+Anna Ferrara Do it! Then take a pic and send it to me :)
Love your videos!
I am excited to try the modern version, how cute!!
Beautiful and delicious!

Love this and the quiz was so cute!
And the did you know facts love that this channel is fabulous
+88lakeshore Thanks!!! I really appreciate it :)

I liked the original much more than the cake mix variation. You could use any other vanilla cake made from scratch.

The link to your Retro Depot store isn't working via your UA-cam link or your website 😕
I wish you would start uploading in your channel again :(

+Theresa Novak Yes, I think dates could easily be substituted. Im not a huge fig fan either, though I do prefer them dried instead of fresh.
Theresa Novak dried figs taste very sweet almost like candies. I reccomend the golden figs the sugar practically seeps out of them!
Cannot connect with her store. Any suggestions?
Colorado has pot brownies on the map!!! 😂😂😂😂
Your link to the recipe doesn’t open
Love her recipes, yet it bugs me when her teeth scrape the fork.
Tiffany Doe yes!! Biting silverware, 1000 times worse than nails on a chalkboard. Yikes!!
That's how ladies were supposed to eat, so as not to get lipstick on the silverware. Like many vintage things, it looks very unnatural.
Thats called an Italian meringue
The simpsons brought me here
"The best dessert you've never hear of"......doesn't even make sense!
+ingrid Oops! Missed the "d" in "heard". Just fixed it!
lol!
I watch the Simpsons .I've heard of the lady Baltimore cake.
