Notes

Clipping titled just ‘Frosting’; it is the frosting for a bar recipe that is not on the card (‘Spread evenly over warm bars’).

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 line of the clipping (‘Combine cream cheese, butter, milk and’) is slightly overlapped by the Speedy Caramel clipping but readable.
