A pink-frosted layer cake sits at the center of this magazine advertisement for Magic Baking Powder, the kind of showpiece dessert that home bakers of the early twentieth century were encouraged to make for birthdays and parties. Advertisements like this one sold leavening as a route to a better kitchen, promising light, even crumb and a festive result any household could manage. Notice how the cake itself is the hero of the layout, with the brand name kept modest, a common strategy in food advertising of the period when a appetizing picture did the persuading.
