Title: Cakes leaflet, early twentieth century [Go to resource]
Description: Huntley & Palmers began making cakes in the 1830s however their cakes never attained the same levels of fame as their biscuits. The first surviving output record from 1903-1904 shows that cakes represent only 3.5% of total output for that year. Initially all cakes were either made to order or produced in small batches according to demand. There was a reorganisation of the Cake factory in 1936 because of the success of the New Era slab cake. The first large-scale oven for cakes was not introduced until the 1950s.
