CAKE MODEL OF ISLAND
Navy Cooks W in Prise
(N.Z.P.A -Reuter) „ „ MONTREAL. ® lx Royal Canadian Navy cooks whipped up a 5601 b cake measuring 6 feet by 16 feet and walked off with an award for excellence in the Armed Forces Division of the Food Service Executives Association’s annual culinary competition.
The monster cake was a scale model of St. Helene s Island, in the St Lawrence river, illustrating how it will look when the World’s Fair opens in Montreal in 1967. To produce their master piece, the cooks spent approximately 92 hours each in the kitehen and used 338 pounds of sugar, 45 dozen egg whites, immeasurable quantities of flour and enough spices to season a whole bakery. The men used the model of the fair site displayed at Place Ville Marie, Montreal, for engineering details. The cooks report that they had no trouble with materials for their Worlds Fair cake but the engineering was a real headache.
