CAKE DECORATED WITH STAR
Paint the surface of an inverted loaf of any kind of cake with white of egg, then sift over it while it is moist enough powdered sugar to whiten it. Place a star stencil on top, get it exactly in the center, and sift powdered cocoa into the opening.
The star could be made of granulated sugar, colored pink, if preferred, or a space could be filled with small candies called “hundreds and thousands.”
