May 12, 2012, Saturday - 'Cake Mix and the Rise of Convenience Foods' at Mill City Museum Baking Lab

Time: 2:00pm

Location: Mill City Museum, 704 Second Street South

Cake Mix and the Rise of Convenience Foods

The postwar era of the late 1940s and 1950s ushered in a new era of kitchen conveniences. Using the example of the cake mix, this demonstration highlights the dramatic changes in cooking habits during this era and how those innovations affect our lives today. Visitors will learn about food history, sample cakes made from scratch and from mix, and take home a copy of a recipe.

Program is included with museum admission of $11 adults, $9 seniors and college students, $6 children ages 6-17; free for MHS members.
