To All Kinds of Bakers. After an experience of fifteen years as a cake baker in various bakeries in the east, west and the south I am lead to believe that a small handbook containing- a variety of recipes would meet with the favor of many bakers and beginners of any branch. Many a baker is oblig-ed to leave a g-ood offer for a position g-o unaccepted for the simple reason that he may not feel sure enoug-h of being- able to make cakes, etc. satisfactorily, but this can be readily over- come if he makes use of these recipes. In writing- this book I have desired to g-ive a carefully selected collection of recipes for cakes, ice cream and home-made candies, which will meet the demands of the people. THE BAKERS' HAND BOOK. The enclosed recipes I have used with very good results and would recommend them to every baker for a trial. For baking- cakes of any kind, first class winter wheat should be used; butter must be washed with clear water several times just before mixing - your cakes or pastry. The manufacturing baker should use the best of material, as it is the cheapest way to keep up trade; people in this county prefer to do their own baking unless they are sure their baker is using good material for baking his bread, cakes, etc. Respectfully, Eugene Schurk.
