Scope and content
ca. 1935. Two women and three small children surround the multi-layer decorated cake topped with a miniature bust of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt in this circa 1935 photograph. The cake was baked by the Model Bakery as publicity for the President's Birthday Ball to benefit Infantile Paralysis (polio) research. For several years the Model Bakery would bake a luscious cake and place it in their window to publicize the worthy cause.
