Vintage cake books

Went to my favorite thrift store today and found some awesome vintage cake books. DSC05192

The hardcover book is from 1960. How cool is that? It demonstrates Ateco Simplified Cake Decorating techniques.
Look at the pictures. Love how they show all the flaws/shadowing. This was before there was any editing software available. I think those flaws give these cakes even more charm.

How cute are these retro cakes. Love the Valentine's one.
