[bobofhollywood]

Here's a cake I baked today in my Americana oven. This is the view through the unique skylight window.

Yummy kitchen!

The stove is a beauty and the cakes look yummy! Tell me, do you use your Sunbeam Carousel often? How do you like it?

BTW: I'll take a slice of that carrot cake once it's frosted.

And yes, I bet it was yummy.

Is that a Nesco "crock pot" on the tripod legs?

That is a coolass range! Love the skylight window and the buttons along the sides.

You got cool stuff--show us some more!

I knew I smelled cake, there goes the spring diet!

LOL I just love that skylite view, lets you look at the TOP of what you are cooking without opening the door, why can't we have stuff like that now?? Of course love the pushbuttons and the whole kitchen theme, awesome!!

Faboo stove!! And did ya notice he's got a real HB milkshake mixer as well, not the smaller home version. That'll fit in my overnight bag just dandy.

 

[petek]

Bob.. what kinda vacuum are you using, don't let us down now, something appropo I hope.

 

[lightedcontrols]

Beautiful Range!

Bob,
Beautiful Range, and nice cakes too!!! MArk

 

[mikepaquette]

Very Nice

Hey Bob I hope it is in the same downstairs kitchen as that georgious Westinghouse pull out dishwasher. Very nice. Mike

with frosting...

Here's how the cake looks frosted.

Retromom...I sure do use that Sunbeam vertical rotisserie - at least once a week!~ It works flawlessly each time. I just love it.

PeteK - I have a FLEET of vintage vacuums, including Hoover upright model 28, Hoover Constellation model 84, Kirby dual sani-tronic 50, 2 electroluxes and a Royal hand vac...all quite vintage.

Mikepaquette - this is in my current actual kitchen. I have moved from my Arlington Virginia home where I had that yellow Westinghouse in the basement.

Guys....I love you all. Please accept this cake as a peace offering. You all are like my family.

Peace.

Bob

Very nice job on the range and the cake, Bob. I love that cake server too - good thing there's a label on it, you could confuse it with a pie!

 

[pushtorelease]

I lust (ever so seriously..) over that radio!

 

[appnut]

Bob, the cake is incredibly decorated. You never cease to amaze me with all your talents.

And the range, ..... well what can ya say. I love the skyview. Turbo had described it a long time ago, but I just couldn't visualize the concept. Now I can. Thank you so very much. Bob

 

[rickr]

Boy that cake looks good! Great job Bob! And we love you too!

 

[cleanfresh]

Have a question about the cake decoration, Bob

Are those carrots made of marzipan(almond paste)?

 

[veg-o-matic]

Hey Bob!

Nice cakes!

veg

 

[appnut]

yes, bob's buns are nice too.

 

[maytagbear]

Lovely pictures, thanks for sharing!

My carrot cake batter is made start to finish in the Cuisinart. How do you make yours, Bob?

Tomorrow (Wednesday,) I am taking fresh lemon-ginger pound cake to Lenten dinner and seminar. For Board of Deacons this evening, I took a banana snack cake.

Bob...some comments and questions

Great stove, don't remember seeing another one at least for a while. I don't remember pushbuttons like that and a viewing window like that.

I love how the paint scheme carries over on the wall behind it and (it appears) sliding doors to the right.

Is that a flourescent or regular bulb light in the panel behind the burners?

Is the lower section a panel, or a drawer that comes out?

Why can't we get outstanding design like this!!!!

 

[retromom]

Still oohing and ahhing!

Bob:

I am envious of that skylight window! My Frigidaire doesn't have any type of window, so I resort to "peeking" to make sure the oven contents aren't cremated! Wonderful concept. Didn't they put those type of "skylights" in O'Keefe and Merritt stoves as well?

Lawrence: I'll bring the coffee if you will let me have a slice of that lemon-ginger poundcake!! YUM!

Venus :-D

 

[foraloysius]

Bob, I love the stove! How cute with that window! The cake looks delicious. I've got to bake a carrot cake myself soon!

 

[bobofhollywood]

last slice

Here's how the cake looks on the inside too..

Lawrence...I grate my carrots by hand and use my kitchen aid mixer to start the eggs sugar and oil, then fold in all the dry ingredients by hand.

The light behind the cooktop is flourescent, althought there are two incandescent bulbs in the lower over, and one in the upper oven, and also a few power and heat indicator red neon lights.

storage drawer below

Indeed, below the lower oven is a full size storage drawer

So Smartly Lined

[maytagbear]

My hat (if I wore one) is off to you!

My carrot cake recipe calls for a whole pound of carrots, and I would not grate that many by hand.

You're a better or braver person than I am.
