New Wedding Cake.
Who (asks " Hebe " in the Gentlewoman) was the inventor of ,the new wedding cakes ? Whoevef he was he deserves immortalising, for his was a brilliant idea, one I should have been " real proud of ' myself, had 1 thought of it. In the wedding cake of more ancient type, there was always a thick layer of white sugar which nobody cared about ; a medium layer of almond-paste which everybody wished for, and did not always get ; and an immense quantity of cake of which many only ate a few crumbs. The latest specimen has a thin layer of sugar, only just enough to look pretty, and underneath are alternate layers of cake and almondpaste, one as thick as the other. The consequence is that no one is defrauded of their lawful share of almond-paste, or " love." as it is usually called, and for purposes of distribution it is far better, as the contents of the box do not crumble away nearly so much as they did when the principal portion was cake alone. If only someone would invent a box which cpnld not be rifled, and was bound to reach its lawful destination, we should have nothing left to desire.
