Violin Cake with Musical Notes, "Happy Birthday to You".
Eggless, Dairy free, Patriotic Cake modified from recipes used during WWII (first given to me by my friend Nina) when eggs and milk were rationed. An acid, such as vinegar, combines with the baking soda in the recipe to create bubbles that enable this cake to raise in the oven. It tastes like a conventional cake and can be made in many flavors. Frosting is made from Crisco and Confectioners (powdered) sugar. No food coloring is used in this cake. The letters are made by adding cocoa powder to the frosting and the colored frosting is made by adding a tolerated jam. The edging decoration on this cake was made with grape jam to create the purple decorative edge. It took time to create but was made with much love for Andrew from Auntie Rosa. Please note: Andrew is now 15 and will be playing his precious violin with his school orchestra at Lincoln Center of the Performing Arts in New York City in 2008!

Rosa, I found no other way to communicate other than your blog. Please know my sister, Ruthie, and brother Larry, join me in sending condolences on the passing of Jules. I have so many memories of your husband as I grew up next door to the Raskins' on Scholl Road. I remember one summer when I had a broken arm and Jules would play board games with me. Activity was limited for almost the whole summer and I was lucky to have a friend next door!
Several years back you and I emailed re your recipe for Cleveland Coconut Bars. Little did I know I would have 2 grandsons that are allergic to eggs and see I that your cookbook also has recipes that I will find useful.
Again, sincere condolences. Arlene Tucker Steele
Arlene, thanks so much for your post. I am behind on reading comments and just noticed it this morning. My email is rosaraskin@gmail.com
I remember your Mom stopping in on occasion when I was dating Jules. I remember Jules' Mom saying that the house next door had the lower counters and by mistake, she got the higher ones. I remember someone mentioning that your father died young. I think you were a bit behind me or my sister at Heights? My January 1966 class is having a 75th Birthday reunion this August, 2023.
Stanley died on 1/1/21 and Jules followed his brother on 6/21/21. Jules had Sudden Cardiac Arrest. The first time he had it, when he was 49 yrs, he survived, this last time at age 78, we were not as lucky. Waiting for our headstone has been forever, but I have an unveiling planned for this Spring! He is at the cemetery where his parents, his uncles, cousin JoAnne Klein and my Mom are -- Mayfield Cemetery.
My nephew, Andrew David Stewart was allergic to eggs so I have recipes I used for him.
Thanks for posting,
