Older clipping (starts mid-article: ‘For further decorative effects…’).

36 appears to be the plain (unlined) back of the same index card as 35, with more icing clippings pasted on.

Part of the card is cut off or missing: Small hole near the bottom removes part of ‘th\[ick\]’ in the last step; meaning clear.
