Her mother made prize-winning cakes for the State Fair every year and never used an electric mixer. Beth uses her mom's recipe. I think she said it took the whites of 16 eggs. She still has her mom's whip. By the way, my daughter-in-law's mom lost her right arm in a car accident when she was 18 yrs. old so had to nestle the mixing bowl under the short stump of her arm and use her left hand to whip the egg whites. She had been naturally right handed so it was quite a feat to do everything with her left hand. Her hand-dipped chocolates were delicious too. juanita > Do you remember egg beaters really pushed a memory button! > > When > > When my husband and I were first married and during the year of 1958 > he expressed his love for angel food cakes.
