Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Queen mother's cake

    • robinorig on March 04, 2012

      Have played around with the icing, adding corn syrup if I want a glossier icing. My standby chocolate party cake along with the similar Robert Redford cake (larger ad uses honey instead of sugar).

  • East 62nd street lemon cake

    • robinorig on March 04, 2012

      Have been making this for years, usually add lemon extract to make it extra lemony. Recently looked at an updated version & noticed that Maida Heatter added some in, too!

  • Mulattoes

    • dehrens on December 27, 2009

      Can be modified for Passover or Gluten Free

  • Saidie Heatter's popovers

    • robinorig on March 04, 2012

      Always come out perfect. Fabulous. To get them really high, preheat the popover pan before the batter is added.
