4H CLUB NEWS
CAKES, CAKES, CAKES by Sharon Reser, Jr. Leader
May 8, 1958 Eleven 4-H girls taking advanced cooking met on Saturday May 3, at the Harold Reser home to make cakes. This is the first time the task of mass production of cakes has been tried for a long time. Each girl made a cake, or sisters made one together. We all agreed the day was a success in many ways.
Different varieties of cakes were made and different methods of mixing were used. Both butter cakes and sponge cakes were made. A miracle salad dressing cake turned out as pretty as a picture.
The girls also iced their cakes and a little experimenting with cake decorating was done.
We were most happy that Mrs. Annabell Long, Extension Agent from the office in Topeka was able to come out and spend a few hours with us.
The girls attending the meeting were: Patty Coffey, Jane Zickefoose, Sally Naduea [sic Nadeau], Lois McCoy, Ruth Miller, Donna Lee Reser, Helen Wehner, June Wehner, Laura Rose Stiles, Lillian Reser, and Sharon Reser. Mrs. Donis Reser and Mrs. Letha Reser were our instructors and helpers.
