hours.
There are many different recipes for
cake making but the process is about
the same. Some cakes are baked in a
cooler oven than others. Cookies are
made of honey dough, that is the flour
is made with pure honey instead of
milk or water and this dough is so
hard that one can hardly break it.
When it is time to work this dough it
is cut with a knife in small pieces so
that it can be handled easily.
The fancy decorations on cakes are
made and put on by hand. The cake
is covered with frosting and when this
is set the baker or decorator fills a
large pliable rubber cone with icing.
The lower end of the cone is fitted
with tubes of various shapes and sizes
and with this the artist proceeds to
decorate. This is an art which few
bakers have accomplished, and I must
say that Jacksonville has an artist of
high standing in the decorative world.
The cleanliness of the shop is very
important. The floor is washed thoro

Everything used in the Jacksonville
bakery is bought from Jacksonville
merchants. The honey is bought from
farmers which insures a pure p.oduct
