Title: Wedding Cake leaflet, probably 1960s [Go to resource]
Description: The names of the cakes advertised in this leaflet suggest wealth and elegance. During the 1950s it was very difficult for couples to find the ingredients for their wedding cake. Raisins, sultanas, sugar, butter and even flour were rationed or difficult to come by. These 1960s designs reflect the lifting of such restrictions. The cakes shown here are large and elaborately iced. The cake on the left bears the slogan 'Huntley & Palmers make the cake as memorable as the day'.
