Subject: sponge like cheesecake
Years ago a bakery smith's in pottstown, pa.It was sold in deli's and
sandwich shops and diners by the slice. It was not refrigerated and had no
crust. It was about 3 inches high and had a golden brown top. It was not
creamt. I would describe it as dry, airy and spongy. I have tried so many
cheesecakes but still haven't found it. I am hoping you can. Thanks!
Hi Mary,
Sorry, I cannot find any mention of this cheesecake, no recipes and no
copycats. Mrs. Smith's Bakery was bought out by Flowers Food, moved to
Oklahoma, and made into a national brand of pies. Since it was a
commercial bakery rather than a neighborhood bakery, it's unlikely that the
bakery recipe is available, or that it would be practical for use in a home
kitchen even if found.

We has a Mrs Smith's bakery in hazleton pa and I loved that cheesecake. I have
been trying for years to reproduce it. Would you still have her contact info so
I could email her to see if she had any progress.
Thanks

Hi Jim,
I maintain the privacy of my correspondents. If I still had Mary's original e-mail,
I would forward this to her, thereby allowing her the option of contacting you if
she wished. However, I had a computer hard drive crash in 2016 that wiped out all
of the emails that I had received up until then. Sorry.
I will post this email on my site just below her request that was posted on 3/7/2012,
minus your email address. Perhaps she will see it and contact me. If she does, then
I will forward your email to her.

Subject: Butter loaf
My wife's mother use to work on Public Square's Hough bakery store.
She use to bring home Butterloaf and other items. I found this web
site and would like to know how I can get the recipe for Butterloaf
from Hough Bakery's list.
Please reply, Richard
Hello Richard,
Sorry, that recipe has not been found. It is on the “not found list” on this page :
Hough Recipes
- which means that I have had no success locating it.
There is an Almond Butter Loaf recipe here, but it is not Hough’s:
Almond Butter Loaves
There is a Hough Bakery memories blog here:
Cleveland Memories

Subject: morrison's cafeteria spaghetti recipe
Hello,
I hope you can find a specific recipe for me that I am very interested
in preparing. The recipe is a spaghetti salad that Morrison Cafeteria
used to serve. I've looked on several sites and cannot find it. I found
pasta salad from Morrison's but it wasn't the same. The one I want is
made using spaghetti.
I appreciate your help and I'm thanking you in advance
Sincerely,
Judy
Hello Judy,
I have a copy of the Morrison’s Recipe Manual, and there is no spaghetti salad recipe in it. I also know two former Morrison’s managers, each of whom has a Morrison’s Recipe Manual from a different year than mine. They say there is no spaghetti salad recipe in their copies of the manual, and none of the Morrison’s which they managed served such a dish. They and others have
told me that occasionally an individual Morrison’s location would serve a dish that they themselves created. This was true of
the vegetable lasagna served at the Columbus, MS location, and I believe that it is also true of your spaghetti salad. If it
is true, then I am afraid that the only way you will be able to get that recipe is if you can locate people who worked at that particular Morrison’s. Sorry.
Phaed

looking for ice box cake recipe that was made in aluminum ice cube trays
graham cracker crust and cranberries were main ingredients
made by mom beginning in the 60's
thanks,

Hi Cheryl,
There are cranberry refrigerator “cake” recipes and cranberry ice box “cake” recipes, but I did not find any that are made in
ice cube trays.
Most have a vanilla wafer crust rather than a graham cracker crust.
