Colonial Choices
cake mold

NINA WILLIAMS


I chose this object because I like to cook and it's very pretty to look at. This object tells you that in 1800 CE to 1850 CE they made bunt cakes and they had ceramics. This object is used for baking cakes for special events. We did cooking in health and in social studies. We made colonial foods like gingerbread and homemade butter. And in health we made oatmeal raisin cookies.
