ROYAL BAKING POWDER HAS BEEN CALLED FOOL PROOF" By this-is meant that the prescribed amount of ROYAL - “BAKING POWDER as called for in a recipe does not actually have to be followed. This cannot be said of all other brands of baking powder, as in some cases if more baking powder is used the resulting cake is apt to have a bitter taste and be unfit for consumption.

The keeping qualities of ROYAL BAKING POWDER are such that extremes of temperature and humidity do not affect its efficiency. Tins of ROYAL have been kept unopened for a number of years without losing effectiveness.
