Mrs. Murray, who lives on a 150-acre orchard in Duncan, Oklahoma, has been baking the cakes commercially for about nine years in the separate kitchen her husband built for her in the back of their home. Although she ships more than seven hundred cakes annually and has received national acclaim, she still bakes them one by one, weighing all ingredients to achieve consistency, creaming the sugar and shortening in a separate bowl, and folding in the beaten egg whites after the yolks. Each cake weighs three pounds, serves at least ten generously, and costs $10.95 postpaid. Allow two weeks for delivery after receipt of order.
