The Betty Crocker Documentary Film by Susan Marks

2023 UPDATE! Be it touch if you want a link to my Betty Crocker documentary and I'm happy to send it your way. 

It's hard to believe that Betty Crocker is almost 100 years old! 

When I started writing a a book on Betty Crocker, I knew the book, Finding Betty Crocker: The Secret Life of America's First Lady of Food, could never do the justice to the rich audio and visual side of Betty. So I made my first documentary film, The Betty Mystique - that explores why the nation was buy what Betty Crocker was selling.

Vintage Betty Crocker Easter Gallery

It's the time of year again. Get your Easter baking on! I'll be adding more to this gallery as I find them. Any of these look familiar to you? Did you have a Betty Crocker Recipe Card Library? 

See some of my other posts for the vintage Easter lamb cakes. 

Easter Lamb Cake Gallery - Updated 2024!!!!

This time of year, I love looking at your lamby cake creations. Dang, you people are creative. Look at this gallery of gorgeous lamby cakes.

I also read this Mid Century Menu's blog post on Easter Lamby Cakes - it's exactly how my mom taught me to make lamby cakes. Plus, it's just a lovely blog to get lost in. I didn't realize how very Christian the lamb is. And I'm surprised that my very religious mother never mentioned this when she make the lamby cake. 

Did you know about the Potempa Lamb cake annual competition? 

On with the gallery...

Look! Vintage lamby shares the Easter spotlight. Which one would you eat first?

Nice frosting tip work. 

Trifecta of lamby cakes

The rare ridgeback lamby

                        Impressive hyperrealism that no one want to eat 

Doesn't even need the the ribbon and "Happy Easter" it's so well done.

Not cake. But I will still eat it.

It's in a pen!!! And it's smiling.

                                The frosting looks amazing

Delightful! Czech?

I think this is butter, not a cake - but still! 

Confection Dream. So delicate.

Smart bowtie! 

I think I'm in love - twice

Gasp! Gorgeous! 

Just look at the detail on this sweet thing!!

Not a lamby cake but it demands (and deserves) our attention.

Lovely old world charm and no-nonsense expression that reminds us not to count our chickens before they hatch.

Frosting skills on point

Not a lamb but don't you love it?

Vintage lamby spotted in the wild

This one looks a lot like my goldendoodle, if her ears were sticking straight out.

Love a chocolate lamb!!!

Profile lamby!

So realistic and sweet. I could never eat it though. Just look at that face!

Old school lamb cake mold. Wish I had one of the old ones.

Cute but also looks like pasta stuck all over it.

Simple and understated. (And I'm guessing delish)

Fudge. Brilliant. 

Ab Fab Pink Lamby.

I believe that's cannoli surrounding her. Just in case the cake is not sweet enough.

Even the ribbon is frosting! Easter Wishes indeed.

And of course, Charles Phoenix's meatloaf lamby! 

Break with tradition. I don't like it but I also like it.

This one really looks like my goldendoodle 

Thought this was a lamby cake for a sec. It is not.

The magic inside. If you know, you know. If you don't know, only accept lamby cake from the non-neck and face part.

Adorable. 

At first I thought it was wearing a hard hat. Now I see it's an Easter bonnet. 

Choices were made.

Slayed. 

Send your lamby cake my way and I'll add it to the gallery. Especially if it's a red velvet before and after the slaughter. Happy baking!
