Up until the mid 20th century, baking day was the day devoted to filling the cake and biscuit tins for the week ahead. This charming title captures the essence of those times with a collection of retro baking recipes and clever craft ideas for the home. How long is it since you've eaten a neenish tart, a butterfly cake, a cream bun or served afternoon tea on a tray complete with a pretty hand stitched tray cloth? All of the old fashioned recipes you remember from your childhood can be found in the pages of this book together with a sprinkling of lovely retro craft ideas.
