Women baking in Minnesota, 1942
On the twelfth day of Christmas, my baker gave to me:
Twelve first-class fruitcakes
Eleven Swedish pastries
Ten Bûches de Noël
Nine German stollen
Eight iced kolaches
Seven warm rice puddings
Six gingerbread men
Five Panettone
Four Scotch shortbread
Three French boules
Two Sacher tortes
And one tray of frosted sugar cookies.
