Make a slit in each cake, and fill with the cream.

Corn-starch may be used instead of flour.

This makes a very nice filling for plain cup cake baked on jelly-cake tins.
MERINGUES, OR KISSES.
Whites of three eggs beaten to a stiff froth; quarter of a pound of sifted powdered sugar; a few drops of vanilla.
Add the sugar to the whites.

Have ready a hard-wood board which fits the oven.

Wet the top well with boiling water, and cover it with sheets of letter-paper.
