jellyroll cakes, force the

mesh strainer. That process
will remove the seeds prior
to spreading on the cake.

Figures don’t lie but our recommendation is don’t
believe a word of it! ... Until you ask to see more of our
records. When you see what some of your neighbors are
doing with the DEKALB XL-Link it’ll make a believer of
