Cut-Up Cakes

This is a simple paper booklet printed in 1959 and given away by General Foods to advertise Baker's Angel Flake Coconut. The booklet provides full-color photographs and instructions to turn ordinary sheet cakes into animals by cutting them up, and then of course frosting and covering with Baker's Angel Flake Coconut.

This booklet was one of my favorite things as a child, and I couldn't wait until it was my birthday so we could try out another cut-up cake. It amazes me that it has survived in such good condition given how much thumbing through it had with grubby little crayola-toting fingers, not to mention hard time spent in the kitchen being used as a reference while baking.
