I wanted to share a few fun vintage Christmas ads with you today. They all feature retro baking. Since I love all things vintage, retro food photos, and baking, these are terrific fun.
This ad features a Durkee's Candy Cane Cake (1956). It's coconut, so I am predisposed to love it.
This 1941 Pillsbury ad features Frosted Christmas cookies:
Okay, I am now ready to go look for Durkee's Coconut (does this product still exist?!). This 1950's ad features a Snowman Cake:
This Crisco ad features Christmas Cookies (and they look delicious!).
More Christmas cookies, from Gold Medal Flour -- bell and Christmas tree shape cookies.
Do you enjoy vintage food ads? Have you ever tried a recipe from an old ad like one of these? I'd love to hear from you in the comments, below.

i haven't tried any of these - but i definitely remember seeing some of those food ads growing up :)
Very cute! I laughed when I saw the gingerbread men trying to run off the plate! And that coconut candy cane cake is very impressive!
Thanks! I appreciate your visits and comments. I remember seeing ads like these in magazines that my Mom read when I was a kid. :-)
I love the look of the old cookbooks. They make you feel like a true homemaker!
I think that is part of the appeal of the old cookbooks and cooking ads for me, too.
