I inherited the 1959 edition from my mom. I was 8 1/2 in 1957 when my little sister was born, was quite the little baker, so made one of the cakes from the 1959 edition for her birthday every year and others for different occasions (Spot the Fox Terrier since we had one - Suzie). My daughter was born on Christmas Eve in 1974, so I continued to make her the cut-up cakes after purchasing the 1970 edition. I've made all 16 from the 1959 edition and most of the 26 from the 1970 edition. She called yesterday wanting to make one for her neighbor girl, turning 3, which led me to googling the books and to this site. What fun to read about everyone else's memories! I am now in the process of copying both books so I can send her the originals. It's her turn to enjoy them!

Thank You for sharing. I got this book when I was 12 years old. Prior to it, I believe it was in 1956, I got another one with a rabbits head on it,titled "Cut Up Cakes." Then I sent for the next one in 1968, titled "Baker's Coconut & Chocolate Party Cut Up Cakes." Then, in 1970, I got one with a "Train" on the front of it. I used them for all of my children and Grandchildren. So fun. Then, I gave them to my daughter and have decided that I would like to purchase the 1956 Cut Up Cakes and the 1959 Animal Cut Up Cakes, again. Do you know of any place where I might find them for sale? Funny to think at the ripe old age of 9 years old, I started my collection! I so enjoyed your pictures of all those cut up cakes.

It's the one with the picture of the train on the cover. I'm going to try to make color copies of it on heavy cardstock paper for my four children to have. Last night, we made Turkey Lurkey, and it came out so cute. I wasn't aware that there was an earlier version of cut-up cakes but I would love to see it. I collect cookbooks but have always considered my cut-up cake book my very favorite. I still have my copy of the book that was published in 1970.

Thanks! I had these cakes growing up, but my mom couldn't find her cookbook. I just had a little girl and I want her to grow up with these cakes too. Thank goodness I found you! Well, I guess I can also thank google image search for having pictures under the heading of "easy cut-up cakes". I had the teddy bear for my fifth birthday. Wow!

Here's my problem, it only says to use your "favorite fluffy frosting." I cannot remember what I did 4 years ago. Does anyone know if Baker's gave a recipe for the frosting, or what does everyone else do? There is a "cooked" frosting in my OLD Betty Crocker cookbook. Please help ASAP!!! Party is tomorrow!!

(My Mom lost hers as well) Check onE-Bay, sometimes one of these will come up for auction. There are similiar booklets from the 1960s, one has bunny on cover; but the 1959 booklet,(w/ Lion on cover)always recives the highest bids. I've seen it go for as much as $70....no kidding! I guess we all have fond memories of those simpler times & nostalgia always sells. P.S. If you can find a listing (on E-Bay) that has miscellaneous cook books combined for one auction, sometimes it has the 1959 Baker's Coconut in it...good luck! Hi,
