Notes

Title is printed ‘Speedy Caramel Forsting’ (misprint).

Vanilla is listed but the step that adds it is torn away.

35 is a lined index card with five newspaper clippings pasted on; ‘FROSTING’ handwritten in blue ink across the top.

Part of the card is cut off or missing: Bottom-right corner of the clipping is torn off: the end of the method after ‘Blend in powdered sug’ and the contributor’s name (only ‘M’ remains) are missing.
