I'm looking for a recipe for black bottom cups that are made in a sheet pan.  
Like a 9 x 13.  Do you have something like that?  thank you Olga

Hello Olga,

Sorry, no luck with a black bottom cups recipe that says use a sheet pan. They all call for muffin tins. You need the muffin tin to maintain the shape of the cupcakes.

However, there is a method of making cupcakes using a sheet pan and canning lids to hold the muffin cups. See here for the method and photos:

Bulk Muffins

This allows you to make more cupcakes at a time without a lot of muffin tins. You could use this method with the black bottom cupcake recipe of your choice.

Hough Bakery Chicken Salad Roll-ups

Dear Phaedrus;

When Hough Bakery in Cleveland was in its prime, one of their 
best canapes was a chicken salad rollup.They used white bread 
and the chicken as its filler. They were the BEST.  There was a 
special ingredient in there that you immediately tasted and 
knew this was different and delicious. I surely wish that before 
Robbie Pile died (he was a very special friend of ours and we 
had dinner in his home many times), I had asked him for this 
recipe, but I didn't.  

Can you possibly locate it?  I know Kraft bought all their recipes.  
Thank goodness Archie's Bakery can still make their outstanding 
cakes and more.

Thank you so much.

Juanita

Hi Juanita,

Sorry, I had no success with this. It’s not on the Internet. I have Robert Pile’s book “Menu Planning for Every Occasion", and it’s not in there. I also have a pamphlet of Robert’s recipes published by a Cleveland Nursing Home, and it’s not in that, either.

The Hough Bakery recipes that I have found are here: Hough Bakery

Hi,
Looking for the oatmeal cookie that probably had molasses in it as 
it was a deep rich color and slightly chewy.  That and the Neapolitan 
sugar cookie that was 1/3 pink, 1/3 chocolate, and 1/3 vanilla.

Any clues would be much appreciated

Hello Suzanne,

I have been looking for Helms Bakery recipes for at least 10 years, and the only ones that I have found are linked here: Helms Bakery

They are very few, and even those appear to be copycats. It appears that no other Helms Bakery recipes are available.

Sunbeam Bakery in Morgantown NC

Hi
 
My name is Sandra. I ran across your website looking for a 
custard pie  recipe ( I  really enjoy your website).

  I grew up in Morganton NC  through the 60's and 70's.  
I lived in Morganton until I join the USAF in 1981.  
Even though, I  have lived all over the world and went to some 
of the world's most famous restaurant  and bakeries; nothing 
I have ever came across comes close to these 4 pastries.   
One of my fondness memories of going downtown Morganton 
was to the small Sun Beam Bakery in the corner across 
from  Woolworth's.  They had the best cake squares  and 
Cheese star/straw.  Every baby shower or wedding shower  
and even to my cousin wedding reception in Lincolnton the 
cheese straws and cake squares.
My favorite was a  cookie date bar on top was a creamy 
coconut mixture like the middle of the almond joy,  the whole 
bar was covered in a light milk chocolate.  My sister would 
always get the crunchy peanut butter bar also cover in milk 
chocolate. The peanut butter bar was like a fudge but not sweet.  
Over the years I have ask every time I go "home" and researched 
church cookbooks from home for these  4 recipes
( date bar, cheese straw/star/ cake squares and peanut butter bar.)  
Do you think  maybe you could find these recipes 
 
Sandra 

Hello Sandra,

I ask that people not send more than one request per e-mail. Multiple requests are fine, but each should be in a separate e-mail. Thanks.

I cannot find any recipes or even a mention of, a Sunbeam Bakery in Morgantown, NC. You must understand that a bakery’s recipes almost never get put on the Internet. The bakery recipes that one sees on the web are almost always copycat recipes.

I cannot find any mention of the coconut custard pie from Freedom High School in Morgantown, NC. I did find a couple of mentions of the school, but no mentions of the pie.

There are date bar and cheese straw and peanut butter bar recipes on my site. I can find cake square recipes for you if you like, but they won’t be Sunbeam Bakery recipes, and I have no way of knowing whether they would taste similar.

Sorry that I can’t be of more help.
