Old time vintage recipes for frostings and cake icings.

If you have a vintage cake recipe, you will need a vintage frosting to go on top!  Here we have taken frosting recipes from those tin or wooded recipe boxes, old journals, and from other handwritten recipes, we have found in different places.  Places like estate auctions, flea markets, thrift shops, yard sales and the like.  They are free for you to enjoy.

Collecting old recipes is a hobby of mine.  You will find many cooking ideas on my site, all taken from the past. 

They are a little history of our mother's and grandmothers.  There is no life without food and there is no family without a meal.

The perfect treat.  Get the spoon ready for licking!  The icings are here.
