My mother had this cut up cake book and we used it for years. When we moved her cook books, it was not to be found. I would like to have the old one and if a new one has been done, I would like that one also. Is it possible to purchase these?

Its such as you learn my thoughts! You appear to understand so much about this, such as you wrote the guide in it or something. I feel that you simply could do with some p.c. to drive the message house a little bit, however instead of that, this is excellent blog. A great read. I’ll certainly be back.

Is there anywhere to obtain a copy of this book? I too grew up with it, and is long gone as is my mother, have looked for it many years, so excited to find it on the internet.

Thank you so much for taking the time to do this. I lost my book and my 44 yr old daughter loved the lion, so for her 45th I am going to surprise her with this cake. Thank you, thank you.

Hello,
I was so surprised to see this book again!. I loaned mine to someone and never got it back. I loved making the cakes for my children and now they want me to make them for their children. Can I get a copy of this book somewhere?
Thank you
Rose R.

When I was younger, my Mom had two different cake decorating books from Bakers Coconut. On e was the one we see here. The other one had a cake for every month of the year. I’d like to try to get a hold of copies of each of them. If you could give me an idea where to look I’d appreciate it. thanks. Candy B.

I have both of the Baker’s Cut Up Cakes booklets. The first one is copyrighted 1956 and features a different cake for each month of the year! The witch for October is especially endearing. When I was young, my mother made a cut up cake for just about every birthday for my brothes, sisters and I! I am so pleased to have both booklets now!

This book brings back memories of my childhood. Back when playing outside all day was the norm. Back before the days of mega-birthday parties for children. Back when mommies stayed at home and baked and cooked from scratch.

Now, I have a granddaughter and I think that one of these cakes would be perfect for her birthday!

Thank you!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for scanning that whole book!! My daughter has lost the copy that my mother-in-law gave me and I LOVE the Seven-minute frosting/Sea Foam frosting recipes. You’re a life saver. Thanks again.

This booklet as old as me and I have it. (It was my Mom’s). I don’t remember her making cakes from it, but I remember pouring over it regularly and dreaming of them. I’m baking a cake to become the fish as we speak.

There’s only two circus animals .. the lion on the cover and an elephant. There’s also a giraffe, but I don’t know if that qualifies.

I think my mother-in-law had (has?) a different one. She makes the big easter bunny face cake that she claims came from that book.

In any case, the whole book is reproduced here: http://www.artbaxter.com/esoterica-pages/bakers_coconut-index.html, so you can find the cutout patterns.

I am also looking for the Baker’s cup-up cake book with cakes by the month. I made a cake for my “little” brother’s 5th birthday in January (the snowman) from my mother’s book so long ago and now I want to make that same cake for his 60th birthday this January. Anyone have that page to scan?

I made most of these cut up cakes when my children were growing up in 1950′s through 1970′s. I have another Baker’s Coconut cut-up cake book that is by the month, but I have lost the cover to it. Would like to know the date it was put out.
Thanks, Bonnie Rauch

Hi I have this one plus two others bakers company published. I have one from 1956,1967 similar cutouts but some new ones. Like everyone else born in 1960 these were the only cakes my Mom made for our b-days. I will pass these on to my girls I hope they get the enjoyment my mom did. The good old days!

Thanks so much for posting these great photos! Do you happen to have the umbrella cake from Baker’s book? My twins turn one this weekend and I would love to make them the same cake I had every birthday as a child.

Hi, it was my 45th birthday and I wanted to make the Hobby Horse cake for the party. When I was a little girl my aunt would make different shaped cakes for all of the kids birthdays. I would love to get a copy of this the booklet. It brings back great memories. I did make the horse cake and everybody thought I got it from a fancy bakery. Lots of fun. I really would like to get this book and the others that went with a set. Can you help me?

Thank you,
Sara

I used to make these cakes for all the children in my family and
would so love to have the booklet for the second generation.
How do I get it?
