What could evoke thoughts of celebrations and family get-togethers better than the smell of a delicious cake baking in the oven?  Awaken your senses and memories with this tantalizing assortment of recipes-from classic muffins, brownies, and sponge cakes, to mouth-watering cheesecakes, tortes, and roulades, there is something for all tastes and every occasion.

These irresistible recipes are accompanied by vintage photography from the 1950's, which recall the days of home baking.  Authentic images from the earliest Pillsbury Bake-Off contests are accompanied b entertaining extracts about America's country fairs, cooking contests, and baking traditions.

With simple step-by-step instructions and helpful tips on lining pans, testing and storing cakes, and mastering the best baking methods, you'll soon be serving up your own delicious loaves, muffins, sponges, and cupcakes, just like Grandma used to make.
