On other hand... recipe books!

So I ended up getting a few cook books over the weekend at a rummage sale. In the stack is a set of McCalls magazine cookbooks from the mid-1960s. I ended up with 4 out of what seems to be an 18 book/magazine set. I got M1- Cookie Collection, M2- Casserole Cooking, M3- Practically Cookless Cookbook, and M10- Do-Ahead Party Book. In the party book, there is a bride's cake recipe that has a fruitcake layer at the top. I've never heard of this before, but it's written of as a given for the party planner.
