With my collection of historical and out of print pastry and baking cookbooks I’ve found some very unique recipes, and recipes that I’ve always wanted to know where they originated from. On pastrysampler.com, I’m now listing new ‘old and lost’ recipes of pastries, bakery items, breads and more.

The first one is listed on the latest newsletter, and was emailed to everyone who subsribed to the email newsletter.

Floradora Cream Pie – Featured on the ‘Newsletter Page’. This recipe is from the book Paul Richards’ Pastry Book by Paul Richards, published in 1907. Enjoy!

News for May

Hello!

During the time we had our shopping buttons offline, a few things have changed. Namely, we have redesigned some of our pages. The product pages have been redesigned so you can navigate easier and some of our article pages have been updated and the layout has been changed. Look for all the pages to be redesigned soon. We hope you like the new look!

The other big news is that we have added to our growing family: a baby boy who was born on April 12. We are very happy. Maybe in a few years he can help his sisters in the office…

We have our popular yearly cake decorating sales specials this month, so browse our listing for additions to your toolbox. Selected tips and bags for sale.

Have a great month!
