My great-grandmother made an applesauce cake that looks a lot like that layer cake in the middle background. To those commenting how "there's no obese people in these photos," people generally weren't obese back then because it was the tail-end of the Depression and people were poor and rich food was scarce. And remember these people worked at manual labor. Their kids ran around outside all day because there was nothing fun to do inside. Their lifestyle was very different from ours.
