ONE-TWO-THREE-FOUR CAKES
Sec Reeipea Below.
Let’s All Have Tea
There’s something so social about
serving teal Friends and neighbors
drop in for a bit of rest and re
laxation, conversation flourishes,
and the whole house is aglow with
hospitality.
Serving tea is one of the simplest
and most gracious ways of enter-
taining — wheth
er you invite one
guest or fifty. It
may be a cozy,
informal affair
with only a few
“handpicked”
friends invited,
and simple bread
and butter sandwiches, with a cup
of perfectly brewed tea for refresh
ments. Or, you may plan a much
larger, more elaborate tea as a
means of entertaining the Parent-
Teacher association, the Garden
club, or perhaps the Women’s aux
iliary of your husband’s lodge.
Formal or informal, large or
small, you’ll find that beforehand
preparations and carefully laid
j plans help to make this kind of en
| tertaining easy. Admit the limita
tions of your budget, your equip
ment, your time and strength, and
don’t plan more than you can carry
: out comfortably and sensibly. Re
member that a cup of tea and a
slice of bread and butter can make
a party if the tea is perfectly made,
the bread enticingly thin, and the
service dainty and attractive.
Keep sandwiches, muffins, cakes
and cookies small and dainty. If
your invitation list numbers a large
number of guests, bake your favor
ite cakes in jelly roll pans, frost,
and cut into small, diagonal pieces.
Ginger Cream Cakes.
To make these clever little cakes,
use the thin gingersnap or cookie
ordinarily sold on the market. Al
low from three to five to a serv
i ing. Put together with sweetened
whipped cream in the same man
ner as in frosting a miniature layer
cake. Cover the top and sides gen
erously with the cream, and chill
thoroughly. Ground candied ginger
may be sprinkled sparingly over the
tops. One cup of whipping cream
will make six cakes.

until dissolved.

juice, orange
rind, lemon juice,
coffee cream,
salt, and beaten egg yolks. Fold
in egg whites and pour mixture into
freezing container of ice cream
freezer. Assemble and cover. Then
pack mixture of crushed ice and
rock salt (use three parts ice to one
part salt, by volume) around the
freezing container. Turn crank
slowly but steadily. When mixture
becomes too stiff to turn, remove
cover carefully, take out dasher,
and pack down evenly with a spoon.
Cover ice cream with wax paper
and replace cover. Repack. Cover
and allow to harden at least one
hour before serving.
