Tipsy Cake

One morning about thirty dollars 'worth of bread (it must have been tipsy-cake), which the baker was conveying to Smith's Bar, fell overboard, and sailed merrily away towards Marysville. ❋ Louise Amelia Knapp Smith Clappe (N/A)

The tipsy-cake, like the wreck of the _Royal George_, was rescued from the foaming ocean in which it had been imbedded. ❋ Various (N/A)

They would as soon have thought of having supper without trifle, tipsy-cake, and syllabub, in those days, as of finishing the evening without Sir Roger. ❋ Mary E. Mann (N/A)

"Is it the tipsy-cake, then?" said Maggie, exerting her hypothetic powers, while she leaned forward toward Tom with her eyes fixed on the hovering knife. ❋ Charles Herbert Sylvester (N/A)

The tipsy-cake doesn't matter, because it can be made without alcohol. ❋ Anthony Hope (1898)

"I almost wish we had not attempted the tipsy-cake, and had stuck to my original suggestion," said Thaddeus. ❋ John Kendrick Bangs (1892)

"I gave Ellen the bottle of brandy you gave me for the tipsy-cake, and -- and she drank half of it." ❋ John Kendrick Bangs (1892)

"It's all because of the tipsy-cake," said Bessie. ❋ John Kendrick Bangs (1892)

But on the other hand, he knew there would be jellies, and savoury pie, and strawberries, and tipsy-cake, at home that night. ❋ Talbot Baines Reed (1872)

He liked the sound of the jellies and the tipsy-cake, and just at present he knew of no special reason for "funking" the doctor. ❋ Talbot Baines Reed (1872)

On the other hand, in the case of tipsy-cake, and wine added to _compote_ of fruit, this would probably not be the case. ❋ A. G. Payne (1867)

Sister and I had brought a great tipsy-cake for the children, and they were all sitting under a table, eating it. ❋ Charles Godfrey Leland (1863)

The remains of sponge or Savoy cakes answer very well for trifles, light puddings, &c.; and a very stale one (if not mouldy) makes an excellent tipsy-cake. ❋ Isabella Mary (1861)

_coup-d'oeil_: -- though, we could fancy the tipsy-cake, in the form of a leaning-tower, if anything, a little more groggy; and that the composite Corinthian temple looked as if it had suffered from an earthquake -- but there it was, for all the intense remorse of the cook, who thought the exhibition of so mutilated a work of art would injure his reputation for ever -- but it did not! ❋ John Leighton (1867)
