Blake did most of the work. While the three were in the midst of their cake-making, into the kitchen rushed a little poodle dog, whirling around, barking and trying to catch his tail. "Oh, Roly-Poly, where have you been?" cried Hal. "Did Daddy come home with you?" "Bow-wow!" barked Roly-Poly, which might mean "no" or "yes," just as you happened to listen to his bark.
Then I had some rough kitchens extemporised outside of it; and sent for loads of turkeys from Baytown; and for days before and after Christmas my band of cooks were busy, roasting and baking and cake-making. Coffee was brewed without measure, as if we had been a nation of Arabs.
Her hair was in papers, and her morning wrapper not in a very elegant condition, having suffered a little during the cake-making process. It was twelve o'clock, and Mrs. Fairview was about leaving the parlor, when some one rung the bell. Gliding noiselessly to the window, she obtained a view of Mr. Bebee. "O, dear!" she sighed, "am I to have this infliction to-day?
Cake-tins of various shapes as desired, a set of small tins being desirable for little cakes. A small sifter in basket shape will be found good for cake-making, and a larger one for bread; and spices can be most conveniently kept in a spice-caster, which is a stand holding six or eight small labeled canisters.

Here, under the great escutcheon of the Vergiolesi, Cino delivered his missive. The porter took it with a bow so gracious that the poet was bold to ask whether the Lady Selvaggia was actually within. "Yes, surely, Messere," said the man, "and moreover in the kitchen with the cookmaids. For there is a cake-making on hand, and she is never far away from that business."
Rolls or biscuits may have the top crust wet with a little melted butter, and then brown a minute after steaming. In all cake-making, see that every thing is ready to your hand, pans buttered, or papered if necessary; flour sifted; all spices and other materials on your working-table; and the fire in good order.
Permission being granted by Mrs. Maynard, the girls tried cake-making that very afternoon. "I'll help yez, shall I?" asked Ellen, as the two energetic damsels raided her pantry. "No, Ellen," said Marjorie. "Miss Kitty is going to teach me. You go, go why, Ellen, you take an afternoon out!"
