'12A 'THE OSHAWA TIMES, Friday, June 18, 1965 Wedding Cake Recipe That's Tested By Time Here comes the groom's cake and a golden, fruit-filled beauty it is. Although the recipe was developed with wedding day fes- tivities in mind, the cake is so good that it should not be limit- ed to only one occasion . The cake is rich and moist with a wonderful blend of dates, apri- cots, raisins and toasted al- monds. As with all successful baking, high quality ingredients are the secret to baking this golden groom's cake. Margarine with just the sweet natural taste. of all the good things in it, is creamed with brown sugar and honey. The margarine is the same fine spread homemakers choose for table use. | , The home economists in the Martha Logan Kitchens have worked out several time-man- agement possiblities to facili- tate the baking and serving of this elegant groom's cake. For example, dried fruits which have been in the freezer for a short time, or until] firm but not brittle, will cut more easily and will not stick to the knife. Cakes may be baked as much as.a month ahead and wrapped either uncut or sliced for freezer storage.. The uncut cake would be sliced into box-sized pieces and foil wrapped individually be- fore freezing, the boxes could be filled right from the freezex, This would be time-consuming the day the cakes were baked but would greatly speed-up the boxing when minutes count. Storage tests also indicate that the- cake may be baked two weeks in advance, wrapped tightly in foil and stored at room temperature. The day before the wedding, the cake is sliced and put into the individual boxes for the guests at the reception. The texture of the cake is moist and the good apricot flavor has mellowed. 33 Simcoe St. South I'm Told Tht VW ARD'S BRIDAL FABRICS is the place to shop for SATINS --- TAFFETAS LACES -- TULLE Won't You Coll in? cae lal Ld = = age me We Salute ALL The Brides y We, at Oshawa Wood Products, are proud of the port we hove had in assisting hundreds of new Brides and Grooms with their new home ... in discussing their plons ... . providing the finest quality moterials . ond assuring their home is finished to their specifications.

In modern times it is just a sign of strength. But in ancient Rome, we are told, this was practiced for two reasons. Su- perstitious people believed the bride had to step into her new home with her right foot first or her luck would be bad. Inci- dentally, from this siems the expression '"'put your besi foot forward'. Then if the bride ac- cidentally stumbled, it meant her wedded life would be a ser- jes of downfalls. Historians however, inform us that this custom dates back to the caveman who, when he wanted a wife, had to capture her and forcibly carry her back to his cave. Then there is the tradition of making a deafening noise with pois and pans outside the newly- weds' home. Today, this is done only in fun, but in early French days, this was intended to scare off the bad spirits who presum- ably were jealous of the groom.
