Illus. with 63 full page duo-tone plates (several of which are in full color). 2 pages of ads for cake decorations in rear. 10.75x11, gilt-lettered dec. dark blue cloth, pictorial cover label. Chicago: Fred Bauer, 1923.

A sumptuous book of cakes, with short descriptions with each illustrated plate, and longer recipes in rear. Printed in Germany, where Bauer lived; he was a well-regarded manufacturer of baking apparatus (particularly cake art, including marzipan moulds, decoration tubes, springerle boards, etc.). Minor rubbing to spine ends and corners; a bit of paper loss to title page, else very good and bright.
