Title: Huntley & Palmers cakes advert, about 1900 [Go to resource]
Description: Huntley & Palmers began making cakes in the 1830s although their cakes never attained the same levels of fame as their biscuits. The company produced a number of seasonal products such as Christmas cake and eventually built a separate cake department at the King's Road factory. 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. The first large-scale oven for cakes was not introduced until the 1950s.
