Stale Cakes
Transformed
N elementary knowledge of cook- ing tells us that the basis of all well-made cakes is butter, sugar, flour, and eggs.
When these ingredients which form the cake have become stale and dry it can be reduced to crumbs, and with the addition of something to Can be moisten and re-bind, they used in many ways.

Fruit cake-sullana, cherry, &c.- contain all the requirements of good steamed pudding. It needs to be finely crumbled, and re-bound with little milk, fruit juice, or egg. The same treatment to a plain cake will make a nice luncheon sweet, if it be baked in a shallow lin lined with pastry.

If moistened with a little fruit juice crumbs can be converted into deli- cious fancles for an afternoon tea party. Form them into oblongs or balls, cover with melted jelly, and roll in coconut or chopped nuts.

A Festive-Looking Trifle
A really festive-looking trifle can be made with a stale sponge cake. Cut up into fingers, arrange these Itt a glass dish, and spread on a little juan. Dissolve a pint lemon Jelly in hot water, and while it is still hot pour half over the sponge cakes. Allow the other half to become cold, then whip. up it is light and frothy. Pile on top of sponge cakes, and decorate with glace cherries.
By far the easiest solution to the stale cake problem is, of course, to keep cakes fresh! They should be kept in an airtight tin, which should! be frequently dusted out and exposed to the sun, Fruit cakes keep
