How long since you have seen one of these?
Pineapple upside down cake!! Isn't it beautiful! And one of our Searcy AR Chicken Cookin' Queens from 1972 make it yesterday, July 20 2024, and brought it to me! The mystery is whether they are still as popular as they were so many years ago! I was absolutely amazed at the beauty!!

In 1971 she entered a National Chicken Cooking contest and won it!! She entered her dipper's nuggets recipe and received several thousand dollars as the winner.
