Kate Smith Collection 1940 Published by General Foods Corp This is the last in a collection of 33 butter cakes, and their frostings and fillings from an old pamphlet left by my mother-in-law, Mrs. Mae Keller. Soon I will be working with the balance of the pamphlet. I hope you have all enjoyed these recipes as much as I have enjoyed sharing them with you. Note: I have posted 51 recipes in the Kate Smith Collection. If anyone is collecting these recipes, and does not have 51, you can advise me which ones you do have, and I will be happy to post any that you are missing. 11/29/91 4:49 PM From Gemini's MASSIVE MealMaster collection at www.synapse.com/~gemini
