Orange Baskets

Select some oranges with a clear skin, and, with a blunt knife, mark out the handle and rim of the baskets in vandykes. With a sharp knife cut through the rind over the traced lines, taking care not to cut through the pulp. Take off the two spare pieces of peel, and, with the handle of a teaspoon, carefully take out all the pulp from the basket. Fill up the baskets with orange jelly or whipped cream, and decorate with crystalized flowers; put a large flat of sponge-cake in the center of a dish that has had a napkin spread over it, put one basket on top of the cake, and surround with the remainder. Any form of extra ornamentations can be put in the basket.
