Jelly Slices

Bake a sheet of Genoise cake, or any mixture you are used to that will bake level and not rise, rounded over in the middle, and have it less than an inch thick when done. Turn it out of the pan, bottom side up, cut in long strips, split them and spread with red fruit jelly or jam same as jelly cake. Stir up a pearl glaze and spread over the top of the strips of cake. This glaze or icing can be made with water as well as with white of eggs, just enough to wet the powdered sugar so that it can be spread smoothly, and can be made pink by using fruit juice instead of water. When these large strips or jelly cake have been iced over with it, cut them with a knife dipped in hot water, into long and narrow pieces and set them a little distance apart on pans for the icing to dry.
