* PAGE 7-SUPPLEMENT TO McHENk Y PLAtNDfcALfeR-^Rl., N6V.' 23, 13f3 Baked Holiday Party Desserts Right from Freezer to Oven Holiday parties -- planned or impromptu -- have a way of happening in any home. It may be a teenage record- spinning session, a tree-trim­ ming party or just a holiday get-together. Occasions vary but the need for foods -- desserts in particular--never varies. To satisfy the holiday sweet tooth, home economists at Corning Glass Works have created a make-it-yourself cake sundae. This delicious dessert is baked in individual heat-resistant bowls, which is a handy--and easy--an­ swer to sudden demands for desserts. The idea for baking the cakes in individual bowls rose from the fact that the new Corelle Livingware ta­ bleware can go safely from a freezer directly to a pre­ heated oven -- and then to the table without further ado. Prepare any cake mix ac­ cording to package direc­ tions, pour the batter into greased and floured nine- ounce bowls. Since the bowls are made of glass, bake at 25 degrees lower than the recommended temperature at timing suggested for cup­ cakes 115 to 20 minutes). Freeze the cakes for future use or, if time is a factor right now but won't be later, prepare the batter, pour into the bowls, freezer wrap and freeze until ready to bake. A one-layer cake mix makes six cakes; a two-layer cake mix makes 12 cakes in the nine-ounce bowls, which are available as accessory items in open stock. The topping is equally sim­ ple and appropriate -- an egg nog sauce. It is made by beating one egg in a small bowl until foamy. Beat into this a third of a cup of melt­ ed butter, 1 \'i cups sifted CLOCK IN That young athlete in the family might be delighted with a small stop-watch to check out his speed record.
