It's not table spread, it's Fluffo!

What is Fluffo?

Golden Fluffo was the modern shortening of the 1950's known for its yellow color and not to be confused with margarine. I don't think you would want to spread this on your morning toast.



Marcella Filla Stolte is my maternal great aunt. She had many remarkable qualities and talents; today I will discuss her skills as baker. 

In 1955, Marcie and her family were living in Danville, Illinois where she entered and won the Eastern Illinois Baking Championship, sponsored by Golden Fluffo, for her chocolate cake.

She was featured in several print ads, such as: The Daily Herald, Provo, Utah on May 15,1955, the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal on May 5, 1955, and the Kansas City Star ad featured below and printed on August 21,1955.

  2. Thank you, Aunt Margo! It was Wayne who unlocked the door to my research. He told me that ad was through Fluffo. Once I had Fluffo I found the ad in no time.
